Among the most recent additions to the field of behavioral health is video gaming addiction treatment, similar to smartphone and Internet addiction treatment. While these technologies provide modern conveniences, connections with others, and engaging pastimes, they also lead to process addictions for some people. This addiction is much like compulsive gambling, as the rush gained from winning keeps you going back for more game-play. Promises Treatment Centers provides a way to gain you or your loved one’s life back from video gaming addiction. One of the most significant issues of electronics-based process addictions is constant exposure to the compulsion. We surround ourselves with these devices, such as those on which people play video games today. For many people, video gaming addiction treatment must start on an inpatient basis. In Promises’ inpatient rehab, you also receive crucial dual diagnosis mental health treatment as part of your gaming treatment program, such as through anxiety, depression, or avoidant personality disorder programs.
By design, video games entertain and engage people. They help you work collaboratively, sharpen your mental processes, and expand your imagination. But when you play these games throughout each day, the pastime sometimes becomes an addiction. In fact, many researchers believe gaming addiction is a comparable disorder to gambling and substance abuse addictions. When playing and winning these games becomes a compulsion, you need video gaming addiction treatment at Promises in Austin. This compulsion occurs because gameplay releases dopamine in the brain, the chemical responsible for a boosted mood and energy rush. Drinking and drug use also causes the brain to release dopamine.
While the Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders does not yet identify gaming or need for video gaming addiction treatment as legitimate, you know when you suffer this addiction. You also understand that you need treatment. Signs of needing a Promises gaming treatment program include:
Adults suffer video game addiction just as much as younger people. In fact, adults find themselves more able to spend hours each day playing these games without restriction or intervention.
