    Rehab created for Internet addicts

    Rehab created for Internet addicts
    PEORIA, Ill., Aug. 7 (UPI) -- An Illinois hospital has created an in-patient facility to treat Internet addicts.

    The Illinois Institute for Addiction Recovery in Peoria, Ill., said it is the only in-patient facility in the United States that offers treatment for Internet addiction, ABC News reported Thursday.

    Therapist Tonya Camacho said someone who is addicted to the computer will get the same "high" as a drug addict headed to see a drug dealer.

    "Both are escapes from the real world," she told ABC News.
