Social Media Addiction Treatment

Many people in Beverly Hills, Irvine, and Newport Beach think that social media addiction is not a real addiction. Sadly, it is very much a real addiction, with potentially up to 10% of Americans physiologically addicted to social media.

Social media addiction is a behavioral addiction characterized by uncontrollable urges to login to or check social media, being overly concerned about their online persona, the number of likes and followers the accumulate, and devoting so much time and effort to social media that it affects other areas in your life like being able to be present.

How To Treat Social Media Addiction

Simply deleting the applications from your phone is not enough when it comes to social media addiction treatment. With help from Blair Wellness Group, those facing an addiction with social media can seek help in seeing realistic goals and easing themselves away from their online addiction so as to not shock their system. It is possible to connect with others and work toward building a strong online presence without severely impacting your relationship with yourself and others. Dr. Blair approaches each client case individually rather than a one-size-fits all social media addiction solution. Our “psychologist” and “therapist” help you to develop simple strategies and look into the root cause of your addictive behavior to begin with, in order to know what to look for and how to handle it in the future. Seeking help is the best place to start and Blair Wellness Group in Beverly Hills, Irvine, and Newport Beach is taking appointments today.

Social Media Addiction Has the Same Symptoms as Drug or Alcohol Addiction

Social media addiction closely mirrors other forms of addiction, especially substance abuse disorders. People struggling with this condition often exhibit the same core symptoms, including:

  • Mood modification – experiencing a favorable change in mood due to social media use

  • Salience – behavioral, cognitive, and emotional preoccupation with social media

  • Tolerance – increasing use of social media over time to achieve the same satisfaction

  • Withdrawal symptoms – unpleasant physical or emotional effects when usage is restricted or stopped

  • Conflict – becoming combative or creating interpersonal problems over social media use

  • Relapse – returning to old social media habits after a period of abstinence

Viewed this way, social media addiction looks almost identical to drug or alcohol addiction. Although classified as a behavioral disorder (like gambling or gaming), it exhibits the same symptoms as many substance use disorders.

People with a history of addiction are at particular risk. Sober alcoholics or drug addicts who increase their social media use are more likely to develop social media addiction due to cross addiction. Because of these risks, treatment for social media addiction often requires professional help from a licensed clinical psychologist.
