Cell Phone Addiction Help For Teens From Oklahoma

Residential Programs for Troubled Young Adults Can Treat Depression Due to Screen Addiction

Research has consistently shown that all screen activities are linked to less happiness, and all non-screen activities are linked to more happiness. Now more than ever, residential programs for young adults are treating depression due to video game or screen addictions.  Eighth-graders who spend 10 or more hours a week on social media are 56 percent more likely to say they’re unhappy than those who devote less time to social media. Campers who spend six to nine hours a week on social media are still 47 percent more likely to say they are unhappy than those who use social media even less. 

Our residential program for screen addictions will help your teen learn healthy new routines- and we will help them transfer these skills back home by preparing them for success.  Socialization practice and time management are key components of the program. All Oklahoma campers who come to Camp Pocono Trails get the opportunity to learn and practice new ways of interacting and making friends.

Residential Programs for Troubled Young Adults: Online Addiction Treatment

Our Pennsylvania based Residential Programs for Troubled Young Adults help teens from Oklahoma 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 Oklahoma 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.

Residential Program for Troubled Young Adults Resource: Smartphone and Tablet Resources

Kids are becoming increasingly tech-savvy these days.  It™s hard for us as parents to keep up. At our residential program for young adults we’ve heard it all – campers bypassing routers, logging on to friend™s routers next door, creating proxies, you name it and we’ve heard it!

Here are some resources specifically for smartphones and tablets.  These devices are especially problematic for parents because they are portable and you can™t just block them through your router if your child is connecting at school or a friend™s house:

Residential Program for Troubled Young Adults Resource: Follow Online Safety Tips

 

One important tip for video games or online digital media is to watch it or play together with your child.  Do not let your child keep their game system in their bedroom. Instead, keep your video game system in shared family spaces to stay familiar with how your children are using it. At our residential program for young adults, we help your student examine their relationship with technology.

You can assist your student to make smart entertainment choices by discussing the game or media together.  One good way to start is to watch a Youtube œplaythrough video before you purchase a game.

Communicate. Make online activity a daily topic of conversation.  Ask your children questions about playing new games, meeting new people online, favorite websites and other interests. Encourage your child to ask questions, too.

Set guidelines. Determine what video gaming and online rules work best for your family, and work with your children to establish technology rules.  Examine if violence is part of the game your child wants to play. How often does violence appear? Is it rewarded in some way? It™s up to individual families to make the right choices for their child in regards to what they want their student exposed to.
