The program is called reSTART. The 45-day program isn’t cheap, at $14,500. Interestingly, the location in Fall City is just a few miles away from Microsoft’s HQ. According to the center’s press release: The mission of this innovative program is to help adults, addicted to video games and the internet, detach from their high-tech distractions, find balance, and reconnect to the real world. It is structured to include individual and group therapy, life-skills coaching, cooperative living, physical and nutritional education, mindfulness training, work and home-maintenance skill-building, 12-step meetings, and weekly, off-site, high-adventure expeditions. The facility is located on a beautiful, 5-acre parcel of land in western Washington. The $14,500 expense is not covered by any insurance programs. I suppose the best an addict could hope for is to earn some money “mining gold” for WoW players, then hanging up the Internet straps. Yes, yes, that’s all tongue-in-cheek. |
