Contact our helpline at 512-647-2685 to speak with our admissions team.
Q: Is an internet addiction something to worry about?
A: Technology addiction is the fastest growing addiction in the world today, so it’s definitely something to be concerned about. If you’re spending more time online and less time with the people you care about, it may be time to consider talking with someone about the problem.
Q: What does computer addiction treatment look like?
A: Omega Recovery’s 8-week treatment program treats the tech addiction and addresses underlying issues that may be contributing factors, such as mental health issues. It’s not enough to pull the plug- you’ll need professional treatment to deal with the compulsive behavior, as well.

Q: How do I know if I have an internet addiction?
A: A few tell-tale signs of a screen addiction include:
- Screen time hampering daily tasks
- Technology is your primary source of pleasure
- Screen time is a source of contention in your home
- Friends & family have mentioned that you might have a problem
- You spend more time with virtual friends or engaged in accumulating likes than you do with real friends
- Your work habits are suffering
Q: Can I overcome a tech addiction on my own?
A: Possibly. Try limiting your screen time and see how you respond to the imposed limitations. If you’re able to comfortably reduce time spent online, you may not need professional treatment. Contact Omega Recovery to speak with our staff about self-imposing guidelines to find the right balance.
Q: Isn’t spending time online just a sign of the times?
A: Unfortunately, that’s what technology manufacturers want their customers to think, but the fact of the matter is that too much screen time negatively affects every aspect of your life.
