First U.S. Center for Internet Addiction Opens

In a suburb of high-tech Seattle, what claims to be the first residential treatment center for Internet addiction in the United States just opened its doors. It opened in July and for $14,000 offers a 45-day program intended to help people wean themselves from pathological computer use, which can include obsessive use of video games, texting, Facebook, eBay, Twitter and any other time-killers brought courtesy of technology.
