USA: Get inside reSTART, first dedicated clinic for videogame addicts
The first clinic dedicated to video game addicts “reStart” opened its doors on Wednesday to show how they are helping young men cope with their gaming addictions. The retreat centre, located near Seattle, includes therapy, counseling and an intensive daily physical work out regime.
William, a young patient from Texas, said he joined the centre because all he could look at was “porn and play video games”. He has been at reStart the longest, over 90 days. Taylor, another patient from Memphis, got addicted to video games after personal tragedies until his parents and friends intervened and led him to the centre.
