There were some institutions in the country that claimed to be able to help teenagers get rid of internet addiction, such as Neute Education, Escort Growth Education College, and Zhengmiao Qide behavior correction school. However, there were many disputes about the treatment of Internet addiction. From past cases, Yang Yongxin's rehabilitation center had used unscientific and inhuman methods to treat children, such as electric shocks. This not only did not really solve the problem of Internet addiction, but also caused serious physical and mental trauma to children. Moreover, there was currently no standardized definition of Internet addiction. Many children who were considered to have Internet addiction might just be normal play-lovers. The correct way to deal with them should be to use drugs and psychological guidance, rather than simply sending them to the so-called Internet addiction treatment center. At the same time, there were also organizations like the Shenkang Youth Mental Growth Center that claimed to specialize in solving psychological and behavior problems such as Internet addiction. However, on the whole, the problem of internet addiction among teenagers should be treated with caution. Parents should reflect on their own education methods and focus on the education of teenagers from an early age instead of relying solely on Internet addiction treatment centers.
Different internet addiction treatment centers charged different fees. For example, the Wisdom Youth Training School had three types of programs: six months, nine months, and twelve months. The six-month program charged 35,800 yuan, the nine-month program charged 45,800 yuan, and the twelve-month program charged 55,800 yuan. The tuition fee included the children's food, accommodation, and course fees during the school period. There was also a closed school for Internet addiction, which charged 30,000 yuan for half a year.
People who came out of the Internet Addiction Treatment Center had different situations. For example, PDD was tricked by his family into staying in the Internet Addiction Retreat Training Camp for eight months. During this period, he was beaten up. After coming out, he did have positive changes in a short period of time. He felt happy in class, interesting in reading, and excellent in grades. However, this change only lasted for about a year before he returned to his original nature and started skipping classes and playing games again. There were also cases where there were positive effects after coming out of the Internet Addiction Treatment Center, but this might only be a short-term effect. Moreover, different Internet Addiction Treatment Center's treatment methods, environment, and other factors had different effects on people after coming out. At the same time, there were also some people who had been treated badly in the Internet Addiction Treatment Center, such as Xiao Zhou, who reported Yang Yongxin's Internet Addiction Treatment Center, who decided to call the police 15 years after leaving.
There were several main aspects of Internet addiction treatment: 1. ** Make a plan for surfing the Internet **: Arrange the time for surfing the Internet reasonably. For example, use the Internet as a way to relax after completing your studies or work tasks. Control the amount of time you spend surfing the Internet every day to avoid being addicted to the Internet for a long time. 2. ** Find alternative activities **: Carry out other interesting activities such as reading, painting, music, etc. to divert attention and reduce reliance on the Internet. 3. ** Strengthened physical exercise **: This helps to improve physical fitness and alleviate physical and mental fatigue caused by long-term surfing the Internet. 4. ** Seek professional help **: If the above methods are not effective, you can seek the help of a professional counselor. Through psychological consultation and other methods, find out the reason for being addicted to the Internet and solve it. 5. [Enhancing self-control: This is the key to getting rid of internet addiction. Although the process may be long, if you persist, you will be able to get rid of internet addiction.] In addition, parents also played an important role in their children's withdrawal from internet addiction. Parents should adhere to two basic principles when communicating with their children about game addiction: First, don't comment or blindly stop them. Don't casually comment on the child's love for games to avoid arousing the child's rebellious psychology, and don't rush to stop the child from playing games directly. When the child's interest in games weakens, guide the child to do other things. First, find interest or recognition from things that are not related to learning, and then return to learning; The second was to deal with both the symptoms and the relationship. When parent-child negotiations, they should be clear about their own bottom line, seek common ground while reserving differences, only talk about one thing at a time, do not bring up old scores, do not make unnecessary extension, maintain emotional stability and set an example, take turns to express with the child, listen to each other's explanation, and clearly define the reward and punishment index.
The treatment of internet addiction should follow the principles of science and humanity. Forced treatment is not recommended. From the perspective of treatment methods, Internet addiction treatment was a comprehensive and individual process. First, the patient's psychology and behavior must be evaluated to grasp the condition and treatment process. Psychotherapy, behavior therapy, medication, and other targeted treatments can be carried out. For example, meaningful alternative behaviors could be used in behavior therapy, such as social skills training, exercise therapy, music therapy, etc. Drug therapy needed to select appropriate drugs to relieve symptoms and help patients return to normal living conditions. At the same time, close cooperation between the patient and his family or friends was also very important. In history, there were methods like Yang Yongxin's electroshock therapy to forcefully treat internet addiction, which was inappropriate and would cause great physical and mental damage to the patient. Family therapy originated in the 1950s. It was an effective treatment model from the perspective of the family system. Its goal was to help the family eliminate abnormalities and morbid conditions in order to carry out healthy family functions. This method used the power of the family to change family members. It was of great significance to solve the psychological barriers of children and teenagers. It was more scientific and reasonable than compulsory treatment.
The commonly used Internet addiction treatment methods were as follows: 1. ** Psychotherapy ** - ** Cognitive-behavior therapy **: Parents or guardians negotiate with the patient like friends, avoid preaching, and respect each other. First, they would let the Internet addiction patient understand the negative effects of Internet addiction, understand the nature of the behavior from the bottom of their hearts, and then gradually remove the Internet addiction. - [** System Desension Treatment **: For severe internet addiction patients, this can be used when seeking help from a professional counselor.] - ** Family therapy **: If internet addiction is caused by a bad relationship between parents and children, or conflicts in the family, family therapy can be used. - ** Motive interview **: By stimulating the patient's intrinsic motivation to change, it can help them get rid of their internet addiction. - Reality therapy: Help patients pay attention to their needs and responsibilities in real life and reduce their reliance on the Internet. - [Accept and Promise Treatment: Allow the patient to accept their own state and make a positive commitment to change, thus getting rid of internet addiction.] - ** Psychodrama **: Through role-playing and other psychodrama methods, help patients understand the problem of internet addiction and find solutions. - ** Group therapy **: Allow patients to support and supervise each other in a group environment to overcome their internet addiction together. 2. ** Substitute therapy **: Use healthy forms of entertainment, such as swimming, basketball, mountain climbing, traveling, and other outdoor sports to replace the happiness brought by online games. 3. ** Active self-adjustment **: Make your life rich and colorful, and avoid being monotonous. For example, doing things that interest or plan to do, such as going out to travel, watching movies, eating delicious food, chatting with good friends to vent negative emotions, cleaning at home, dressing up, trimming flowers, etc., to reduce dependence on the Internet. 4. ** Drug treatment **: For those who have been addicted to the Internet for a long time, have uncontrollable and impulsive obsessive-compulsive behavior, or have anxiety and depression that cause great harm to the user in a short period of time, they can be used in conjunction with drugs.
The official charging standards of the National Internet Addiction School were as follows: accommodation fees were paid according to the comprehensive accommodation arrangement according to the individual; tuition fees were deducted according to the actual situation of the students for three months, six months and one year; meals were 30 yuan per day, which was settled by the school; living expenses were 100 yuan per month as the admission fee; and educational activity fees were collected according to the actual educational activities arranged by the school. There were also internet addiction treatment centers that cost 40,000 yuan for half a year and 60,000 to 80,000 yuan a year. Based on the calculation of 40,000 yuan for half a year, the monthly cost was about 6667 yuan. Therefore, the fees charged by different official Internet addiction treatment centers varied greatly and were affected by many factors.
There were some institutions mentioned in Shanghai that might be involved in youth education (including Internet addiction), such as Neute Education School, Escort Education, etc. These institutions were included in some rankings or recommendations related to youth education, but it was important to note that although they were mentioned, they should be carefully examined in terms of formality, education methods, teacher strength, and so on. In addition, there were also closed schools for rebellious children. For example, there were relevant institutions in the top ten closed schools for rebellious children in Shanghai's HOT list, including the formal rebellious network school, Yuming rebellious correction base, etc., but the rankings were not in order. These institutions claimed to have the advantages of formal training bases, strong teachers, quasi-military management, and scientific education methods, but parents had to carefully evaluate their choices.
The following are some of the youth internet addiction treatment agencies: 1. ** Neute Education School **: Since its establishment in 1998, it has more than 20 years of formal school experience. It is a formal school certified by the Education Bureau for teenage rebellion and Internet addiction. It was a professional and systematic brand service organization in the field of adolescent psychological groups and family education support. It was reported by CCTV and had also become a practice base for applied psychology masters in many universities. It was located in the East Lake Scenic Area in Wuhan. It covered an area of 15 acres and a building area of 4800 square meters. The school did not beat or scold children, and respected children in all aspects. It helped children in many ways, such as psychological guidance (including one-on-one psychological guidance and parent-child guidance), quality development, military training, German and French education, aesthetic education courses, labor experience, parent-child classes, etc. The three-dimensional psychological intervention system for young families had helped many young people recover their social functions and return to school. With 23 years of formal school history, teaching qualifications recognized by the Education Bureau, and direct campus all over the country, it has won the trust of parents and students. Admitting to the educational philosophy of "nurturing the heart with the heart, nurturing love with love", it has won many educational honors. 2. Kindness One Special Training School: It was an excellent institution among the rebellious and internet addiction schools in the country. 3. ** Longyao Tengfei Youth Quality Education **: An organization that focuses on correcting youth-related problems. 4. [Zhihe Education: A school for teenagers who are rebellious and addicted to the Internet.] 5. [Mingde Education: An organization that has a certain influence in the correction of teenage rebellion and internet addiction.] 6. ** Eiderui **: It was a school for teenage rebellion and internet addiction. 7. ** Huinuo Te **: It was an organization that was engaged in correcting problems related to teenagers. However, there were also opinions that some Internet addiction schools had bad behaviors, such as beating and scolding children. At the same time, the education of young people should focus on starting from a young age, and the companionship of parents was also crucial to prevent and solve the problem of Internet addiction.
It was not necessary to participate in the Youth Internet Addiction Training Camp. On the one hand, there were many risks in terms of some adverse events. Many of the so-called training camps had incidents of abuse, corporal punishment, and even abuse of young people. For example, in some cases, teenagers suffered serious injuries or even death shortly after entering the training camp, such as a 16-year-old boy in Ziyuan County, Guangxi, who was suspected of being beaten to death in the training camp, a 15-year-old boy in Chongqing who was physically punished to death, and a 14-year-old boy in Anyuan, Jiangxi Province, who jumped off a building after being violated in the training camp. There were also cases like the Yuzhang Academy, which used cruel methods such as electric shocks, locking up in a small black room, and punishing children with a ferule and a dragon whip. This caused the children to suffer great physical and psychological trauma, resulting in serious consequences such as the destruction of their reproductive and urological systems, permanent disability, and inability to give birth. On the other hand, there were also formal and professional special training camps, such as Neute Education, which was recognized by the industry as an expert in correcting youth problems. It operated with a unique, professional, and humane service model. It had also received in-depth reports from well-known programs on Central TV many times. Central TV documentaries also involved relevant youth growth and correction issues. Moreover, there were individual cases where the children were forced to go to an Internet addiction treatment center and developed well. They were admitted to Ivy League universities abroad and received a Ph.D., but it was not clear whether the children were traumatized. All in all, if parents were to consider letting their children participate in the Internet Addiction Retreat Training Camp, they had to carefully examine the qualifications and reputation of the training camp. They could not blindly send their children there because the role of family education in the child's growth could not be ignored. They could not simply rely on the training camp to solve their child's Internet addiction problem.
