The $75,000 Rehab Center for Crypto Addiction
The volatile crypto market has led many into trading frenzy since the start of the pandemic and most have lost their savings due to this. Luxury rehab centers are now on the scene claiming they can treat this crypto addiction and I must say the pricing of these treatments are ridiculously high. These luxury rehab centers are asking north of $75,000 to help with this 'Crypto Addiction' even though experts are skeptical in the need for such extravagant treatment for 'Crypto Addicts'.
One of the luxury rehab center that is providing crypto addiction treatment is called The Balance. The center was founded in Zurich and now operates also in London and Mallorca.
The rehab center's mission statement is "Our qualified team of physicians and psychiatrists and our high-end facilities are here to provide you with a unique and exceptional experience. Our luxury rehab centers offer you more than just treatment, we offer the guidance to rediscover your soul and achieve your best self."
The center primarily provides service of:
alcohol/alcoholism rehab
drug rehab/detox
anxiety treatment
depression treatment
panic disorder treatment
eating disorders treatment
trauma & complex PTSD treatment
ADHD and OCD Treatment
and now Crypto addiction rehab
The center provides its patients with a private villa with a personal chef and a butler. It follows a 'person-centered & tailored rehabilitation approaches' which includes in addition to the therapies, massages, yoga and bike rides.
According to Anna Lembke, a psychiatry professor at Stanford University, "The treatment for crypto addiction is similar to other addictions, it's a biopsychosocial disease so it requires a biopsychosocial intervention: medications in some cases, individual and group psychotherapy, changing habits and environment, (or) implementing healthier replacement activities."
Final Thoughts
Crypto addictions has some similar signs as gambling. Both type of addicts tend to pursue their addiction in the expense of relationships, career and education which can have huge negative mental health effect. If a person is in this kind of situation, seeking help is much recommended.
Crypto addiction is a relatively a new concept which may lead to some rehab center take advantage of people who are in real need of help. The lack of standards and certifications for dealing with this form of addiction can also be seen as a huge problem. I find the prices of this treatment very high and hopefully more non-luxury rehab centers will start providing help for those who are suffering from crypto addiction.
