Teen Technology Dependence:

Treatment Options In Virginia For Families

Mission Prep is pleased to be doing more to tackle this increasingly common mental health issue. The leading residential clinic can offer your family a specialized care plan that will get to the root of your child’s technology dependence issues and provide them with lasting strategies they can use to adopt a healthy relationship with technology throughout their lifetime. 

If your teen's struggles have left you feeling alone, Mission Prep wants you to know that, as the latest findings from the Center for Internet and Technology Addiction reveal, up to 60% of teens today show signs of a cell phone addiction, with recent research by the National Institutes of Health also linking this dependence with far-reaching physical and physiological effects.

If you’re worried about your teen suffering from a higher risk of social anxiety, mood disorders, attention problems and hyperactivity, disrupted sleeping and eating patterns, vision and hearing loss, increased risk of obesity, and reduced cognitive functioning, they can help.

Why Evidence-Based, Structured & Professional Care Is Needed

Mission Prep believes that technology dependence is a very real issue; one which requires evidence-based, structured and professional intervention to overcome.

That’s why their specialized care programs take a multidisciplinary and holistic approach to recovering from technology dependence. This means they will offer your teen proven therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)—to tackle the mood disorders typically associated with technology dependence—alongside targeted lifestyle therapies, group therapies, and enrichment activities.

As their spokesperson explained, “We teach healthy technology habits and promote better sleep hygiene, for improved mental health and emotional regulation. Additionally, our program encourages face-to-face interactions and real-world social activities, which helps develop essential social skills and build healthier relationships. We also emphasize physical activity and self-care to promote better physical health, countering the sedentary lifestyle often linked to excessive technology use.”
