Treatment for screen dependency typically begins with a period of digital detox, where all non-essential technology use is paused to break compulsive patterns and allow the brain to reset. From there, clients engage in therapies that address underlying emotional and behavioral health issues, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), experiential or adventure-based therapy, and mindfulness practices. These approaches help individuals identify triggers, develop healthy coping strategies, and rebuild real-world engagement. The process also often includes support for improving relationships, self-regulation, and life balance, ensuring that recovery is sustainable and that clients can reintegrate technology in a controlled, healthy way.
