“Humans simply weren’t genetically designed for technologically driven 21st century living; we weren’t meant to be sedentary, screen-staring, lonely and meaning-devoid beings. Unfortunately, this modern way of life runs counter to our primal needs for human connection, physical activity and a sense of meaning and purpose in our lives. Because of that, we have a modern mental health pandemic with the highest recorded rates of depression, suicide, addiction, loneliness, overdose, anxiety, and ADHD. And Covid only made all these dynamics much worse. Yet most cookie-cutter treatment programs don’t really understand these issues, nor how to treat them. At Omega Recovery, we not only understand these complex issues, but we’ve developed the best clinical program to treat them.”

Treatment for a Wide Range of Tech Abuse

Our technology addiction program is designed to treat a wide spectrum of tech abuse issues, addressing everything from smartphone overuse and social media dependency to gaming addiction and internet browsing compulsions. We recognize that each form of tech misuse comes with its own set of challenges and impacts on daily life, so our treatment approach is highly individualized. By addressing the root causes behind each type of tech abuse, our program enables clients to build healthier, more balanced relationships with technology.

Video Game Addiction

Video game addiction can significantly disrupt everyday life, affecting mental health, relationships, and even physical well-being. Our gaming addiction treatment program involves understanding the underlying reasons that contribute to compulsive gaming, such as stress, escapism, or social isolation, and working with clients to find healthier outlets and coping strategies.

Phone Addiction

Our phones can easily take over our lives causing decreased productivity, sleep disturbances, and difficulty forming real-life connections. Our cell phone addiction treatment program helps individuals break free from compulsive phone use by addressing the root causes—whether it’s a need for constant connectivity, stress relief, or simply habit. With our structured approach, clients can reconnect with the world around them and regain control over their phone usage, building a more balanced and intentional daily routine.

Pornography Addiction

Pornography addiction can interfere with relationships, self-esteem, and overall mental health, often creating feelings of isolation, shame, and compulsive behaviors. We’ve tailored our pornography addiction treatment in Salt Lake City to support individuals in overcoming these challenges by addressing the emotional and psychological factors that fuel this dependency. By focusing on managing triggers, fostering genuine connections, and developing healthier coping mechanisms, clients can break free from the cycle of addiction and achieve a healthier, more balanced life.

Social Media Addiction

Constant scrolling can take a toll on your mental health, relationships, and self-esteem. We offer a path to breaking free from this cycle with our social media addiction treatment program that focuses on strategies to reduce compulsively refreshing socials and regain control over time spent online. Our expert providers give clients the necessary tools for setting boundaries, practicing digital mindfulness, and building offline connections to replace the need for constant digital validation.

Online Shopping Addiction

It’s easier than ever to browse products online and ordering whatever you want only takes a few clicks. However, relying on online shopping as a hobby or coping mechanism can create significant emotional and financial stress. We’ve designed our online shopping addiction treatment program to help individuals regain control over impulsive purchasing habits and address the deeper emotional needs driving these patterns. Clients can develop a balanced approach to spending and find fulfillment beyond the checkout page.

Online Gambling Addiction

Online gambling addiction can have a serious impact on mental health, relationships, and financial stability, as the ease of access and immediate rewards make it difficult to resist. Our online gambling addiction treatment helps clients learn to recognize the underlying patterns of their betting behaviors, manage urges, and build healthier ways to cope with stress or boredom. We provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can work through feelings of guilt or shame and regain control over their finances and their lives.

 

Holistic, Evidence-Based Treatment

Our approach to technology addiction treatment is holistic and tailored to the individual, recognizing that each person’s relationship with devices is unique. We offer residential and outpatient programs that combine evidence-based therapeutic techniques, such as psychotherapy, mindfulness, and emotional regulation strategies, to help clients address the root causes of their addiction and build healthier, more intentional habits.

Our program focuses on creating balance by teaching clients to set boundaries around their device usage, work through triggers, and rediscover meaningful connections offline. We also incorporate practical tools for managing stress, mental health symptoms, substance use, and emotional needs that may drive tech dependence, ensuring a sustainable path to recovery. Some modalities we use include:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Sensory Integration
• Recreational Therapy
• Occupational Therapy
• Family Involvement
• Mindfulness & Yoga
• Music Therapy
• Qigong
