This is on the Eastside of Seattle, as one might expect.  They note that since tech addiction is not (yet) an accepted diagnosis, treatment is not covered by insurance. I could not find an actual price quote for treatment, but did note that they have a link to finance the cost of treatment, and better outcomes are achieved with a stay of at least 90 days. I bet this is into the six figures.

A lot cheaper to just go camping and hiking in Colorado/Utah/Wyoming/Hawaii/etc and only take a flip-phone that doesn't send texts.  I haven't done that in a few years, but it's good to go offline and hard-to-reach occasionally and stay that way for at least a week.

All they need is a Comfort...

Dog
Cat
Snake
Pony
Tarantula
Frog
Iguana
Moose

That ought to do it.
