Get Help With Your Internet Addiction

Our internet addiction rehab will also help clients to identify ‘triggers’ that lead to episodes of uncontrolled internet use. Naive clients of any type typically believe that their indulgences “just happen” and that they played little or no role in an episode happening. A more realistic appraisal of a client’s true situation will often reveal that a particular unconscious set of events occurred involving ‘triggers’ that prompted the client to binge. Like a noun, a trigger is a “person, place or thing” that is a definable step in a chain of events that leads towards a relapse into addictive behaviour. To provide a fictitious but realistic example, a first trigger might be boredom or even a bad mood brought on by an argument. Clients often seek out their stimulation of choice in response to these triggers, most of the time without ever being all that aware of why they are acting as they do. At Clarity our skilled clinicians will discuss in detail episodes of indulgence with addicts so that they become conscious of their triggers and can choose to act in an alternative fashion when they next become vulnerable. They will also help clients to generate lists of safer, more functional alternative behaviours they can engage in when they realize they are in danger so that relapse does not occur.
