    About Our Program

    As part of the Addiction Recovery Management Service, Massachusetts General Hospital offers treatment for teenagers and young adults aged 13-26 struggling with gaming disorder, gambling disorder, and overuse of digital technology.

    Our program is led by Kyle Faust, PhD, a clinical psychologist trained at reSTART, the first U.S. treatment center dedicated to gaming disorder. Patients benefit from evidence-based therapies tailored to their specific needs.

    Our Approach

    • Comprehensive Assessment: Every patient undergoes an initial assessment to evaluate the severity of their symptoms.
    • Tailored Therapy: We provide cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) customized for gaming disorder, overuse of digital technology, or gambling disorder.
    • Co-occurring Conditions: Our treatments can be adapted for patients with co-occurring conditions like major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders.
    • Motivational Interviewing: For those less motivated to seek treatment, we offer motivational interviewing to help them engage in the recovery process.
    • Referrals: If a higher level of care is needed, we provide referrals for additional treatment.

    Our goal is to help young people regain control of their lives and develop healthier relationships with technology.
