What This Template Covers

This comprehensive application template addresses the full spectrum of information needed for effective clinical assessment and program planning:

Personal and Contact Information: Basic demographic data, emergency contacts, and preferred communication methods for both the applicant and their support system.

Current Situation Assessment: Living circumstances, employment status, relationship status, and immediate safety concerns that may impact treatment readiness or program fit.

Behavior Pattern Assessment: A thoughtful, clinically-informed section that helps identify the nature, frequency, and impact of compulsive sexual behaviors without shame or judgment. This includes patterns of pornography use, affair behaviors, use of sex workers, compulsive masturbation, anonymous encounters, and other relevant behaviors.

Impact and Consequences: Understanding how these behaviors have affected relationships, work, finances, legal standing, and emotional well-being provides essential context for treatment planning.

Treatment History: Previous therapy, support group participation (12-step or otherwise), psychiatric care, medication history, and what has or hasn't worked in the past.

Mental Health and Co-occurring Conditions: Screening for depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, and other conditions that often co-occur with sexual compulsivity and require integrated treatment.

Partner and Family Support: For applicants whose partners are affected by betrayal trauma, this section coordinates support resources, therapeutic interventions for couples, and specialized care for partners dealing with the aftermath of discovery.

Accountability and Commitment: Questions designed to assess readiness for change, willingness to engage with accountability structures, and understanding of program expectations.

Practical Considerations: Insurance information, financial arrangements, medication needs, dietary requirements, accessibility needs, and preferred start dates.

Built for the Realities of Treatment Admissions

Sexual compulsivity treatment programs face unique challenges in their admissions process. Applicants often struggle with shame, fear of judgment, and ambivalence about seeking help. Partners may be in crisis, dealing with fresh betrayal trauma and urgent safety concerns. Your intake process needs to balance clinical thoroughness with emotional sensitivity.

This template addresses those realities by:

• Using non-judgmental, clinically appropriate language throughout
• Providing optional fields for information applicants may not be ready to disclose
• Including clear statements about confidentiality and the purpose of each section
• Offering space for applicants to share their story in their own words
• Creating pathways for urgent situations to be flagged immediately

Seamless Integration with Your Clinical Workflow

Once an application is submitted, Paperform can automatically trigger the next steps in your admissions process through Stepper (stepper.io), Paperform's AI-native workflow automation platform.

Example automated workflows:

• Send a personalized acknowledgment email to the applicant within minutes of submission
• Route urgent or crisis-flagged applications directly to clinical leadership
• Create a new client record in your practice management system or EHR
• Schedule an admissions phone consultation based on team availability
• Send partner support resources and crisis helpline information if applicable
• Notify insurance verification staff when insurance details are provided
• Add the applicant to a CRM or follow-up sequence in tools like HubSpot or Pipedrive

These automations ensure no application falls through the cracks while your team focuses on providing exceptional clinical care rather than administrative busywork.

Customization for Your Program's Approach

Every treatment program has a unique therapeutic philosophy, population focus, and program structure. This template is fully customizable to reflect your specific approach:

• Add or remove questions to match your clinical assessment protocol
• Modify language to align with your program's values (faith-based, secular, trauma-informed, etc.)
• Include questions about specific program tracks (intensive outpatient, residential, extended care)
• Adjust behavior pattern questions based on your clinical focus
• Add specialized sections for unique populations you serve (clergy, healthcare professionals, adolescents, etc.)

The form's appearance can also be completely customized with your brand colors, logo, and imagery, creating a seamless experience from your website to application submission.

Support for Partners Experiencing Betrayal Trauma

Partners of those struggling with sexual compulsivity often experience profound betrayal trauma with symptoms similar to PTSD. This template includes dedicated sections to:

• Assess partner safety and crisis status
• Connect partners with specialized betrayal trauma therapists
• Provide information about partner support groups and resources
• Offer options for couples therapy or therapeutic disclosure processes
• Coordinate care between individual and couples treatment tracks

By addressing partner needs in the initial application, you demonstrate a comprehensive, family-systems approach that can significantly improve treatment outcomes and program retention.

Perfect for Multiple Treatment Settings

While designed for residential programs, this template easily adapts for:

• Intensive outpatient programs (IOP)
• Partial hospitalization programs (PHP)
• Extended care or sober living environments
• Therapeutic workshops and intensives
• Online recovery programs and coaching
• Specialized men's or women's programs

HIPAA Considerations

Please note that while Paperform offers robust security features including SOC 2 Type II compliance, it is not a HIPAA-compliant solution. If your program requires HIPAA compliance for intake forms, you may need to use this template for initial inquiry and pre-screening only, then transition to a HIPAA-compliant system for full clinical assessment.

Alternatively, many programs use Paperform for the administrative portions of intake (contact information, insurance, program preferences) and conduct clinical assessments through HIPAA-compliant telehealth platforms or in-person interviews.

This template is ready to use immediately or can be customized to match your exact requirements. Whether you're launching a new program or upgrading from paper-based applications and scattered email inquiries, Paperform gives you a professional, secure, and compassionate application experience that reflects the quality of care your program provides.

Ideal for:

• Residential treatment centers for sexual addiction and compulsivity
