Internet & Gaming Addiction

What Internet and gaming addiction treatment means

• A comprehensive approach: We offer an in-depth analysis and treatment of Internet addiction, focusing on understanding the psychological, emotional, and social factors that contribute to compulsive online behavior.

• Tailored interventions: Recognizing that each individual's relationship with the Internet is unique, we customize our approach to fit your specific needs and goals, creating a path towards a balanced and enriching online life.

What happens during an Internet and gaming addiction evaluation?

• Initial assessment: The journey begins with a thorough evaluation to understand the extent of the addiction, including its impact on your life, underlying triggers, and any co-occurring mental health issues.

• Personalized treatment plan: Drawing on insights from the assessment, we develop a tailored treatment plan that may include cognitive-behavioral therapy, medication (in very severe cases), digital detox strategies, and mindfulness training to help manage compulsive Internet use.

• Ongoing support and monitoring: Recovery from Internet addiction is a process. We provide continuous support, adapting the treatment plan as necessary to ensure it remains effective and supportive of your long-term wellness.

When you should consider Internet and gaming addiction treatment

• Impact on daily life: If excessive Internet use is affecting your ability to perform at work, maintain relationships, or fulfill daily responsibilities, it’s time to seek help.
