If you are one of the unfortunate individuals checking your Twitter a zillion times a day, fear not! There is hope for you yet! The first clinic dedicated to Internet and gaming addiction in the US has now officially opened. reSTART is located in Seattle Washington and it was founded to help out us poor Internet addicted shlubs.

The center is five acres and is located about 30 miles outside of Seattle. For just a little over $14,000 you and 5 other individuals can sign up for a 45 day program in which you detox your cyberspace addictions. Residents are given counseling and psychotherapy as well as encouraged to take part in group bonding, because gamers are all about that!

Hilarie Cash is the woman behind the clinic. As a therapist she has treated a number of individuals who have struggled with Internet/gaming addiction. She recorded a case so severe that a man gave up a marriage as well as 2 jobs for his video games.

Any individual who may be considering treatment is able to take an assessment in which you can outline the severity of your addiction. It is located (conveniently) on-line at the reSTART homepage.
