Video Game Addiction Help

Video games are part of the technology boom that took over our lives since the 1970s. Technology has evolved from simple and basic games to complex multi-faceted games that enthrall our pastime. Video game addiction is now more common than before you can access some of the most impressive GUI games at home, instead of the mall or arcade machines. The richness of these video games engulfs us into playing for several consecutive hours.

At what stage do we consider your hobby an addiction?

Video games are not evil because they can help children sharpen their cognitive skills and build a more robust imagination. Some people argue that gaming is a better activity because it is implausible to lose money while acting on luck but can gain sharp reflexes and cognitive abilities. An overdo can suddenly become an addiction, especially when gaming occupies our day at the expense of other duties.

Video game addiction is an addictive disorder that needs psychiatric game addiction treatment to reverse or control. Our program will help you stay away from unhealthy gaming trends and probably develop the following beneficial routines:

  • A limit or control on how to play games
  • Ability to contain your anxiety or irritability
  • Improved time management
  • Better personal hygiene
  • Better relationships and hobbies
  • Better performance at work or in school
  • Fast resolution of stressful situations at work or in school 

Benefits of seeking our video game addiction help

Counseling

Video game addiction is only possible when you recognize and accept your current addiction. We will put you in one-on-one sessions, group or family counseling sessions to shine a light on your particular addiction tendencies. The psychotherapist will help you understand how gaming affects your school or work and how you can open yourself up to the possibility of healing to get a hold of your life.

Cognitive treatment

Cognitive treatment is ideal because it gives one the fundamentals to replace negative thoughts and feelings. These tools are essential because they allow you to process your thoughts with the support of professionals who can guide you towards healing to not hold on to feelings of shame, guilt, or defeat. As a result, it will be easy for you to reflect on the triggers of your addiction and ultimately transition to better-coping skills over time. Omega Recovery helps you set realistic goals and keep you on the narrow path of recovery until you are more comfortable with your progress.

Fast detox

What is the fastest way to stop your technology addiction? Is it to sell all your gadgets? Take a vacation or get into rehab. Selling your gadgets is not always the answer because you will not address the trigger that led you to addiction.

A vacation is not exhaustive because you cannot be sure you will stay away from the game upon returning. Our firm opinion is that video game addiction help in rehab is the only way t maintain sobriety. We will test you for different psychiatric illnesses, administer proper medication, and indulge you in non-gaming activities that rebuild healthy neural functions. Submit your insurance details online to complete the verification process, and get in touch to get help for yourself, a loved one, or an employee.
