A facility outside Seattle, surrounded by pinetrees, is a refuge for addicts — of technology.There are chickens, a garden and a big treehousewith a zip line. A few guys kick a soccer ballaround between therapy appointments in thecottage’s grassy backyard.The reSTART center was set up in 2009. It treatsall sorts of technology addictions, but most of theyoung men who come through here — and theyare all young men — have the biggest problemwith video games.There are beds for seven patients at a time. After they spend six intensive weeks of rehab here, they goto a transitional situation — an apartment close by, where they live with other former reSTARTpatients.That step used to be called Level 2, but program manager Rachell Montag says that was too similar tovideo game language, so they changed it.“In gaming, the goal is always to be moving forward and leveling up, and so we didn’t want ourlanguage to parallel that, because it can actually have an effect on their behavior and their recoveryprocess in that phase,” she tells NPR’s Rachel Martin.‘Good, Clean Fun,’ At FirstJoey M’Poko’s story is like a lot of people who come through this place.
