Several factors contribute to the development of gaming addiction, including genetic predisposition, psychological issues such as anxiety and depression, and environmental influences like peer pressure and easy access to gaming platforms. Understanding these factors is crucial for effective treatment.

Globally, gaming addiction affects millions of people. In Australia, it is estimated that around 1 in 10 adolescents are at risk of developing gaming addiction. In the United States, approximately 8.5% of youth gamers may exhibit signs of gaming addiction, underscoring the widespread nature of this issue.

Common pathways to gaming addiction include a need for escapism, social connection through online communities, and the rewarding nature of gaming mechanics that can lead to compulsive play. These elements can foster a cycle of dependency that is difficult to break without professional help.

At Hinterland Health Retreat, our gaming addiction treatment program is tailored to offer holistic and personalized care. Our 30-acre facility, situated in the peaceful Sunshine Coast Hinterland, provides an ideal environment for healing and recovery.

Our treatment plan is distinctive, incorporating advanced neuro-technology to help balance the brain and help reduce the symptoms of addiction. This cutting-edge approach targets the neurological aspects of gaming dependence, promoting brain health and cognitive function. By calming the nervous system, neuro-technology enhances the effectiveness of other therapeutic interventions.

We employ evidence-based therapies to help individuals address the emotions and behaviours associated with their gaming addiction. These therapies equip individuals with strategies to manage cravings, set boundaries, and develop healthier habits.

Holistic therapies are a vital component of our treatment program. Daily exercise routines help reduce stress and improve physical health. Personalised nutrition plans ensure that dietary habits support recovery, enhancing overall wellbeing. Complementary treatments such as I.V. therapy replenish vital nutrients and support the body's natural healing processes.

Our comprehensive aftercare program provides ongoing support and guidance beyond the initial treatment phase. We offer regular follow-ups and access to wellness tools and resources to help individuals sustain their progress and prevent relapse. Personalised care plans and continued therapy sessions ensure long-term success and a balanced lifestyle.
