At White River Academy, we understand that addiction affects teens in many different ways – and it’s not limited to substance use. That’s why we provide comprehensive treatment for both behavioral addictions and substance addictions, recognizing that each can be equally disruptive to a young person’s life.
Each student receives a personalized treatment plan tailored to their unique needs, emotional history, and behavioral patterns. With compassion, structure, and professional guidance, we help teens uncover the root causes of their struggles and develop healthier, more balanced coping strategies.
At White River Academy, our mission is to help students break free from addictive cycles – whether behavioral or chemical – and build a strong foundation for lasting recovery and emotional growth.
Internet Addiction Treatment is designed to help teens who have become overly dependent on online activities such as social media, browsing, streaming, or virtual interactions. While the internet is a valuable tool, excessive use can interfere with daily responsibilities, academic performance, sleep, and personal relationships.
Our structured program gives students the opportunity to step away from constant online stimulation and reconnect with the real world. In a supportive, screen-limited environment, teens explore the root causes of their internet overuse – such as anxiety, loneliness, or low self-esteem – and develop healthier ways to cope with those emotions.
Through individual and group therapy, life skills training, and engaging offline activities, students learn to manage their time more effectively and rebuild balance in their daily lives. We also work with families to create healthy boundaries around internet use at home. At White River Academy, we help teens regain control and create a more meaningful life beyond the screen.
