Internet Gaming Disorder Treatment For Teens From Wyoming

Gaming Rehab: What Can Wyoming Parents Do Now?

In general, if a child is unwilling to participate in outpatient therapy, or if outpatient therapy in Wyoming is just not making the changes you want, we can help. A Gaming Disorder Treatment Center that is specifically designed for your child’s unique needs is your best path forward.

The next step up from outpatient therapy is residential help or a video game rehab. A Gaming Disorder Treatment Center provides a reset on family relationships, but also with the relationship the child has with video games and the internet. Simply put, the surest way to change a child’s video game habits is to create a total reset with online activity. That’s where our gaming rehab comes into play.

The group component of video game rehab is what it’s all about. At Camp Pocono Trails, we engage our campers as part of an interdependent team that works on engineering, science, and problem-solving tasks. It takes the entire group to overcome the challenge. Interactions become grist for the mill in therapy, and therapists can intervene in real time to develop insight and practice coping skills.

Best of all, campers get socialization practice and learn how to interact with each other in socially appropriate ways. If your child is socially behind, being bullied, or needs social practice, our gaming rehab is where they should be.

Wyoming Teens Can Find Success at Our Gaming Disorder Treatment Center

Internet gaming disorder is a serious issue in Wyoming. Fortunately, at Camp Pocono Trails we help our campers build motivation by finding replacement activities that are healthy and more productive than mindlessly browsing the internet, watching Youtube, or playing endless hours of video games.

Its been our experience that after the initial detox period, campers find replacement activities quickly and can transfer their feelings of success online to an offline world. Young minds are able to quickly adapt as routines and interests changes- especially if there is peer support helping the teen along.

We’ve found some unique ways to transfer online skills to the real world. For example- campers engage in drone races using controllers much like an XBox controller. The difference is that they are outside, and racing through obstacles as part of a team.

Video Game Addiction Individual and Group Therapy for Wyoming Teens at Camp Pocono Trails

Teens at our Gaming Disorder Treatment Center 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.

If your child meets behavioral goals for the week, a small reward is in order such as choosing a restaurant to eat at the following weekend or maybe spending extra time with mom or day doing their favorite activity like fishing. Monthly goals being met might warrant a special night out or even a monetary reward. Each family should decide what is right for them and give the child something to work for.

Conversely, if a student does not meet their goal expectations, feeling a bit down about their failures is okay. In fact, it’s encouraged. This is how people naturally change- they move from a place of discomfort to comfort. Its just as critical that if your child fails to meet their goals you discuss with them what happened and how they can improve. Taking an, it’s okay youll just get it next time approach is not the best way to change behaviors.

Internet Gaming Disorder Resource: Smartphone and Tablet Resources

Kids are becoming increasingly tech-savvy these days. Its hard for us as parents to keep up. At our Gaming Disorder Treatment Center, 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:
