China and South Korea have treatment programs, the center's announcement says, but the U.S. has so far lagged behind.
ReStart is a 45-day program for up to 6 participants and is held at the 5-acre Heavensfield Retreat Center, a "natural family setting" in Fall City, Washington, about 10 miles east of Redmond.
For about US$17,000, participants receive group counseling, life skills coaching, nutritional education, and "mindfulness-based stress reduction," along with outdoor adventure trips.
The goal is to help them "detach from their high-tech distractions, find balance, and reconnect to the real world."
The program is run by executive director Hilarie Cash, a psychotherapist and author of Video Games and Your Kids: How Parents Stay in Control; and Cosette Dawna Rae, a social worker and personal life coach.
