Sex Rehab With Dr. Drew Episode Guide, Season 1

Back To Pazsaz Entertainment Network's Sex Rehab With Dr. Drew Page

Episode 1
At night, Drew calls a house meeting and lays down the ground rules - no masturbation, no seductive behavior, and of course, no sex. For Kendra adapting to rehab is proving to be difficult. Now almost a full day without her husband, Kendra breaks down and wonders if she's going to be able to make it. After only a day in rehab, Kendra and the rest of the sex addicts are extraordinarily fragile and emotional. They are about to take on one of the toughest experiences of their lives and it's anyone guess if they can make it through 21 days of intense treatment without their drug of choice: sex.

Episode 2
Dr. Drew and Jill begin treatment by trying to find out a little bit of the patients' backgrounds. Most sex addicts suffered severe emotional, physical or sexual abuse while they were growing up, and our patients are no different. Duncan and Kendra both reveal a little bit about their own past abuse during group. Outside of the therapy sessions, Phil finds himself developing a huge crush on Amber. Kari Ann is still demanding to go home. When she asks for her cell phone to get her manager's number in order to call him, she places the call on the house phone and starts texting on her cell phone, breaking rehab rules. When Selma asks her to stop texting, Kari Ann gets in a screaming fight with her, tells her manager to pick her up immediately, and begins packing to go home.

Episode 3
Four days into treatment, the patients are becoming increasingly agitated. Kari Ann refuses to get up with the others in the morning, which sparks resentment and jealousy - Kendra in particular is annoyed at her lack of participation and special treatment. Drew and Jill devise a special process group for the women: by removing their protective outer layer of makeup, they can have an experience of their true selves. Kendra, Nicole and Amber each have one-on-one sessions with Dr. Drew and Jill, and Kari Ann writes a letter to Kendra dripping with passive-aggressive feelings.

Episode 4
As the patients begin their second week in rehab, they are starting to suffer from sexual withdrawal, which happens much later with sex addicts than with drug and alcohol addicts. Phil, in particular, is edgy and struggles with not getting "his release." During group Dr. Drew tries to assess how everyone is handling this critical phase of treatment. Anxious and jumpy, Penny twitches as she recounts her vivid, sexual dreams starring everyone in the group. She freely admits to "failing miserably" in terms of maintaining celibacy in her dreams. Kendra, still extremely angry about the letter that she received from Kari Ann, refuses to participate in group.

Episode 5
Well into the treatment process, the patients are having a difficult time as they are finally taking a look at their lives and how they have affected the ones they love. Because the women have all been sexually abused or raped, and have never really dealt with the emotions involved, Drew sends them to Children of the Night, where they design t-shirts showing what they've gone through. Later, Drew has Duncan see Dr. Sealey to start exploring his issues with men. Drew and Jill meet with Kari Ann to get a little deeper into her past abuse. Jenny reveals to Kendra and Duncan something that James told her. The next morning at group, emotions run high as the subject is brought up.

Episode 6
Two weeks into rehab, Kari Ann is still having trouble with the most basic aspects of treatment, like getting up on time. And James has become the outcast after making a remark, supposedly in jest. Despite Selma's efforts, Kari Ann doesn't get ready in time for group, but those who do are introduced to the concept of "The Circle Plan" - a system for ranking behaviors from safe and healthy, to potentially risky for their sobriety. The next morning Phil learns that his grandmother has died, raising unresolved issues about the untimely death of his mother eleven years ago. Drew agrees to arrange a therapy session for Phil and his father.

Episode 7
As rehab nears the 21-day mark, it seems that Kari Ann is still not with the program. When Shelly wakes her up for group Kari Ann turns over and promptly goes back to sleep, breaking yet another rehab rule. During group Dr. Drew directs the patients to look forward to life outside rehab. Penny discusses the possibility of leaving porn, and Amber shares her guilt over her father's death with the group. Kendra, anxious about leaving rehab, confesses that she feels like she's barely started the work and is basically at the point where she's cut open an artery and all she has is a band-aid. Drew and Jill assure her that rehab was just the beginning of a long journey.

Episode 8
Graduation arrives and the group cogitate on their progress and a continuing treatment option with Jill.
