Teens Go To Rehab For Social Media Addiction

There’s a rise in the number of teens going to rehab — for social media addiction. Fifty percent of teens say they feel addicted to their mobile devices, and studies show teens who spend more time on social media are more likely to report mental health issues than those who spend less time on the sites.

 One rehab center in California, Paradigm Malibu, said its program, which includes therapy and reconnecting with the outdoors, has an 80 percent success rate. It can cost upwards of $50,000, but some insurance companies do help cover the expense.
