The Internet is where we spend more and more of our time. But for a great number of people, it’s an out-of-control habit that causes severe stress on family, friends, loved ones and work. Experts say that internet addiction is a global problem. Doctors say that addiction is a serious illness.
Doctor Young developed a test that uses a 20-question survey to measure levels of Internet addiction. Online gaming is the most serious form of it. “There are no real drugs for this yet,” she says. “It’s not medication, it’s therapy.” At the Institute for Addiction Recovery, some patients need 30 to 90 days of in-patient treatment, and after that - a long care program. But Internet addiction recovery, (well, any addiction) requires lifelong treatment, experts say.
