Cell Phone Addiction Help For Teens From Hawaii
Residential Programs for Troubled Young Adults: Online Addiction Treatment
Our Pennsylvania based Residential Programs for Troubled Young Adults helps teens from Hawaii and can provide academic opportunities to ensure your child does not fall behind in school. Campers at Camp Pocono Trails that undergo online addiction help are put into small classes where they won’t get lost or fall behind.
ADHD is a common co-occurring issue when teens need online addiction help. As a result, habits, and strategies need to be developed to use the internet successfully for research or writing papers in school. This is simply what we do at Camp Pocono Trails- we help our campers to develop the intrinsic motivation to change their online behaviors and develop routines that will ensure their success.
Frequently, we’ve found that the typical Camp Pocono Trails student started excessive online habits when they began to feel more successful online than offline. This can be a self-fulfilling prophecy, as campers lose social practice by spending more and more time online and losing opportunities to engage in face-to-face social interaction.
Residential Programs for Troubled Young Adults often focus on disruptive behaviors only. We find our population to be more internally focused, which means the help should be different than more punitive based approaches.
Video Game Addiction Individual and Group Therapy for Hawaii Teens at Camp Pocono Trails
Teens at our Residential Programs for Troubled Young Adults receive individual and group therapy for video game addiction and internet overuse habits. We have licensed therapists helping teens develop insight and commit to new routines in life.
We also have family therapy sessions where we help parents best support their teen upon their transition home from Camp Pocono Trails. We discuss in family sessions how parents can reinforce positive feelings when a child sticks to their behavioral contract and we also encourage parents to reinforce negative feelings when the child fails to live up to behavioral expectations.
We provide a warm and friendly environment conducive to positive change. Insight is rewarded in the moment, and new coping skills are taught and practiced with professional staff overseeing the change process.
How Frequently are Campers from Hawaii Going Online?
Cell phone addiction help for teens are needed now more than ever. According to Pew Research 92% of teens report going online daily of that 24% go online almost constantly. Now imagine what your child could have accomplished if they used this online time in a productive way- studying for school, making friends, or playing sports to build physical activity.
Cell phone addiction help for teens are focusing more and more on technology issues. 22% of teenagers log on to their favorite social media site more than 10 times a day, according to a study in Pediatrics. The constant checking of social media has been linked to depression and low self-esteem as campers compare themselves with others online. The feeling of less “likes” or “friends” online can lead to a reinforcement of these negative feelings. As a result, depression, and anxiety are a focus of our program at Camp Pocono Trails.
According to Nielson, the average American devotes about 10 hours and 39 minutes each day to consuming media 65% of awake hours. For college campers, it’s especially worrisome, as Science Daily reports female college campers to spend 62% of waking hours on cell phones (males 50%).
Early intervention is the key, as research has found these habits begin in the teen years. 90% of 9th-grade girls and 70% of boys in one study used screens for more than 2-hours per day.

Residential Program for Troubled Young Adults Resource: ESBR Ratings
At our residential program for young adults we discuss how to determine if a video game is appropriate. One way is to learn about ESBR ratings. The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) is the non-profit, self-regulatory body that assigns ratings for video games and apps so parents can make informed choices. The ESRB rating system encompasses guidance about age-appropriateness, content, and interactive elements.
As part of its self-regulatory role for the video game industry, the ESRB also enforces industry-adopted advertising guidelines and helps ensure responsible web and mobile privacy practices under its Privacy Certified program. ESRB was established in 1994 by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA).
