Can't Stop Web Surfing? Go to Rehab
Illinois In-Patient Facility First of Its Kind to Treat Internet Addicts

PEORIA, Ill., Aug. 7, 2008

At the height of his Internet addiction, Ben estimated that he spent at least 16 hours a day surfing the Web.

"Days would pass before I would shower, shave or eat," Ben told ABCNews.com.

The college student, who asked that his last name not be used because of privacy concerns, said that he simply could not get off the computer.

Ben said he would play computer games until the sun came up and then sleep for a few hours during the day. Eventually, he simply lost interest in the world around him and flunked out of college.

It wasn't until his online obsession drove him to attempt suicide that Ben sought help at the Illinois Institute for Addiction Recovery -- the only in-patient facility in the country that treats patients for Internet addiction.

Located 180 miles outside Chicago in Peoria, Ill., Ben said that the rehab saved his life.

NO!!! As much as it WOULD help me to go to that class, it's still a waste of taxpayers money.
