Treatment Philosophy
Phase 1:
Usually lasting two to three weeks is a digital detox during which the client is removed from access to the internet and digital screens and reintroduced to the naturalistic rewards of real-time living. During this phase an emphasis is placed on re-balancing mind, body, and emotions along with good nutrition, adequate sleep, exercise, and social interaction.
PHASE 3:
A step-down phase where clients are gradually weaned-off the externally imposed structure of the program and assume semi-independent responsibilities, phase 3 includes some reintroduction to technology access while still receiving support from the Lifeskills clinical team.
PHASE 2:
During Phase 2, the clinical team involves the client in more active social interaction, communication, real-time activities, and healthy lifestyle activities.

The focus in phase 2 is on managing stress, social skills, learning to cope with boredom, and how to avoid triggers and urges to go online.
