Ironically situated less than fifteen miles from Microsoft’s Redmond central office, there is a treatment center set on a 5-acre wooden retreat with a 3,500 sq ft craftsman house, red cedar tree houses, henhouses, and goat pens. For a humungous cost for the 45-day stay (including application, screening and treatment fees) Net and gaming addicts are severed from the web… cold turkey.
The facility states inpatient treatment for Net and gaming addiction includes working with a therapist, a recreation coach, yoga and work out instructors, nature hikes, house chores, career development and additional activities in an effort to "reprogram" patients and free them of their addiction to the internet or gaming.
Even though Net addiction or video game addiction isn't yet included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) doesn’t make these dependencies less serious and genuine, particularly in the lives and families impacted by the disorder.
Regrettably, this addiction isn't recognized as a discriminate disorder by the American Psychiatric Association, and treatment isn't covered by insurance. But there are a lot of treatment centers for the addiction in Republic of China, Republic of Korea and Taiwan — where the addiction is taken very earnestly — and a lot of psychiatric experts state it's clear that the addiction is true and harmful.

It’s like a food dependency? You have to determine how to live with food.
