Internet addiction is a real problem which needs to be adressed. Eventually when more centers arrise I believe the cost will go down and it will be easier for people to join the center (or similar centers). I have a hard time with believing that someone who is addicted to the internet or computer games will have an income great enough to afford such a thing (It&amp;#39;s been a while since I&amp;#39;ve read the article, and I haven&amp;#39;t re-read it from this post, so it may have mentioned this). Even if they could afford it, the money would likely be spent on other things. I think this type of problem is usually noticed by concerned friends or relatives first, and they&amp;#39;re often the ones who end up paying anyways.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: First American Interweb Addiction Center</title><link>https://www.paradisesgarage.com:443/mcweb2/forums/thread/2949.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 27 Aug 2009 21:21:24 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b2ff3ccb-892e-4ceb-9a77-e4f6e73f7f60:2949</guid><dc:creator>ParaDOX</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://www.paradisesgarage.com:443/mcweb2/forums/thread/2949.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://www.paradisesgarage.com:443/mcweb2/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=93&amp;PostID=2949</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Yes...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: First American Interweb Addiction Center</title><link>https://www.paradisesgarage.com:443/mcweb2/forums/thread/2937.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 24 Aug 2009 00:15:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b2ff3ccb-892e-4ceb-9a77-e4f6e73f7f60:2937</guid><dc:creator>Troop</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://www.paradisesgarage.com:443/mcweb2/forums/thread/2937.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://www.paradisesgarage.com:443/mcweb2/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=93&amp;PostID=2937</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Am I the only one who read &amp;quot;...treatment center in Fail City, Wash&amp;quot;?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>First American Interweb Addiction Center</title><link>https://www.paradisesgarage.com:443/mcweb2/forums/thread/2933.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 20 Aug 2009 20:35:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b2ff3ccb-892e-4ceb-9a77-e4f6e73f7f60:2933</guid><dc:creator>DarkAstraea</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://www.paradisesgarage.com:443/mcweb2/forums/thread/2933.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://www.paradisesgarage.com:443/mcweb2/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=93&amp;PostID=2933</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;Taking their lead from China, two Americans have opened the first US-based Internet Addiction treatment center
in Fall City, Wash. &amp;mdash; ironically close to Redmond (Microsoft&amp;#39;s
hometown). The center, called reStart: Internet Addiction Recovery
Program, is a 45-day treatment center where, for a steep set of fees,
people can be cured of their addiction to the Web. After paying the
$200 application fee, addicts are charged $14,500 for the 45 days, an
additional $800 for a screening, and more for extra services, like
kayaking ($1,575).&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
