Internet addiction is the most common disease of the 21st century. The transformation of the internet into an online entertainment platform has turned millions of people into people obsessed with the Internet. The level of the disease is determined by the number of hours spent on the Internet. An extreme form of such interest — when a person spends all his/her free time on the Internet — is considered a disease. Teenagers are especially affected by internet addiction.  The costs of such behaviour are diseases of the spine, due to long sessions sitting in front of the computer, and the decline of healthy social behaviour. The main problem of such behaviour is social phobia, social awkwardness, and a tendency to alcoholism. How to treat Internet addiction? How can one get rid of Internet addiction?

Treatment of Internet addiction is carried out in medical clinics. However, medication-assisted treatment shows very low efficiency, since the causes of Internet addiction are psychological. It is impossible to treat addiction without first solving psychological problems.  Addiction coding and addiction medication give a short-term result and, as a rule, the addiction becomes chronic. Behavioural psychology refers to Internet addiction as a behavioural disorder, and its methods are aimed precisely at eliminating the psychological causes of the disorder. Therefore, the effectiveness of behavioural training techniques for the treatment of Internet addiction is approaching 90%.
