Cell Phone Addiction Help For Teens From Washington
Washington Teens Can Find Success at Our Residential Program for Troubled Young Adults
Washington teens often struggle with internet gaming disorder, and we can help at our Florida campus. Video game addiction can lead to depression, being bullied, and having a hard time making friends. Our residential program for young adults can catch campers back up on social skills they may have missed out on due to excessive gaming.
Finding success also means building motivation to pursue meaningful life pursuits. Building motivation is fun! We use systematic self-monitoring techniques to guide campers to better habits that also build motivation. Systematic self-monitoring is just a fancy term for carefully planning your daily behaviors, in addition to setting up support plans to ensure planned behaviors are executed.
Campers set themselves up for college success or life beyond high school by building the life skills they need to be successful on their own.
Video Game Addiction Residential Program for Troubled Young Adults
At Camp Pocono Trails, we support individual therapy. We can work in tandem with therapists back home in Washington to ensure smooth continuity of care. We also recommend our families engage in family therapy sessions while your child is in attendance. This is done during workshop weekends.
However, sometimes a teen just needs a higher level of help than outpatient therapy can provide. This is why residential programs for young adults such as Camp Pocono Trails exist. For outpatient therapy to be effective, the student needs to engage with the therapist. For example, most behavioral therapists have the student journal or track behaviors in order to change behaviors.
If a student is unwilling to do these most basic components of help, parents should look at going up to the next level of intervention. This can be a help center like Camp Pocono Trails which specializes in video game addiction help.
Military boarding schools or short-term options like camps for video game addiction help should be avoided. Change takes time, and a punitive approach can result in a child pushing back against authority.
Residential Programs for Troubled Young Adults for Washington Teens
Washington families seek our video game rehab center because of our unique ability to adapt to the academic curriculum for Washington campers. Our video game addiction rehab helps gamers develop the internal drive and motivation to focus on academics- not the latest video game.
Lack of self-regulation is the common denominator that affects a student’s preoccupation with video games and lack of focus on everything else: school, friends, chores, reading, and so on. At Camp Pocono Trails, developing self-regulation skills is what we do.
Using a harm reduction approach, Camp Pocono Trails campers become enlightened as to the habit-forming qualities of video games and social media, in addition to how exposure to different types of online media can change your perceptions of violence or gender roles.
Its easy to get locked into a pattern of policing electronics. The problem with a policing strategy is that it does nothing to help the child learn how to manage electronic use independently. If your child is headed to college or independent living soon without the ability to manage their screen activity, you should intervene as soon as possible.
Sometimes it’s just easier for a team of seasoned professionals to address an issue that has become toxic for a parent to address. Parents and teens can become deadlocked in a disagreement about video game or internet use. This is where Camp Pocono Trails can help. We give the teen a format to reinvent themselves in a nonjudgmental, supportive atmosphere with other former gamers.

Residential Program for Troubled Young Adults Resource: Smartphone and Tablet Resources
Kids are becoming increasingly tech-savvy these days. Its 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 friends 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 cant just block them through your router if your child is connecting at school or a friends house:

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).
