CLINIC FOR INTERNET ADDICTS

FALL CITY, WASHINGTON America's first residential treatment center for internet addiction has opened its doors. For $14500, ReSTART offers a 45-day program to help patients break their obsession with cyberspace. The center uses a cold turkey approach ( no computers and mobile phones on site) and residents are taught basic human skills such as communicating with others. "It's about helping people addicted to technology get through the withdrawal and help their brains get wired back to normal" says therapist Hilarie Cash, the executive director of the center.
