Video Game Rehab Clinic
 
One opened up in Europe recently. There have been mixed reports on it's success, but it has helped some. I feel it is a good idea for people who have the tendency to get addicted to something, and www.ctrlaltdel-online.com 's newspost really gives a good opinion on the matter. What do you people think about it, is it needed? Do you know anyone who you think should go to it?

Yeah, I guess if you're too deep into Reality Escapism.

I'm pretty sure they already have them. Stop being a dick, some people get addicted to things, and MMO's are known to be addicitve.

Yeah....if they wiped away all the stats for WoW, I'm sure someone would kill themselves.

It's pretty sad that you can get that obsessed with a video game.

MMORPG's are absolutely addictive. I've seen socially healthy people turn into hermits because of WoW and everquest.

You're so completely wrong it defies description (bonus points if you can name the "defies description" reference)

I'm not even sure how to explain it to you in a way you'd understand it. that's how stupid you're coming across to me right now

Some people actually understand they are addicted, and want to get help. It's not like something that will trick you into thinking you are doing the right thing and completely cloud and alter your judgement on everything.

see? You realize you have a problem, and you decide to get help

There was no family intervention there

if, persay, someone with the same addiction has family/friends who let this person know they have a problem, they'd be better off trying to convince him to shapen up. unless the case is EXTREMELY bad, there is no reason to go into rehab.

the thought of going to rehab would only worsen their mental state.

*per se.

If you go by your logic then all rehabilitation institutes are pointless. Way to contradict yourself. What's to make a drug addict check himself into rehab if they don't have family or friends that intervene.

Your arguement has no logic to it. "Rehab clinics should be made for people that are actually in danger," So neglecting food to level up on a game isn't a danger? Becoming suicidal over dying in a game isn't a danger? If you actually believe your arguement is true then you really need help.

Go get an intervention for yourself. Or better yet, an enema.

This thread jumped from good to bad to retarded to meh.

Sounds like a good idea for those who are retardedly addicted. Then again, it is them europeans....(No offense to all of you who live in Europe) =P

Rehab patients from WoW would be a bitch to work with.

don't know who said something about WoW and hermits, but it's true. I pretty much missed everything that happened in April. It was Wake up, World of Warcraft, Bed. 18-20 hours a day. In that month alone I got 16 days of play time on one character.

Shuffle! broke my WoW addiction, to be honest. Something about the ending at 21 (ROFL IM GAY) broke me off of WoW, and I became a much lighter player. And only a few days ago, I deleted it all together, since I got banned from the forums anyways (Posted this: All minorities are inferior to white people. It's the truth.) 10 day ban from the forum and 3 day from WoW.

Rehab would be nice for the people who can't break the habit for more than 72 hours.

I would go to a rehab center.
People ask me to go places with them but I'd just rather play Guild Wars. I'm probably putting that girl through hell. We're going to different high schools and she wants to stay in touch for as long as possible, and here I am blowing her off because I want to make Minions out of stuff I kill instead.

Last year I bought a season pass to Six Flags. About 2 or 3 days before I went to activate it, I got into Conquer Online. The only time I went to Six Flags that entire year was when I went to get a season pass, which was $90, activated that I never again used.
