A hospital in Pennsylvania has become the first in the United State to offer a treatment program for Internet addicts.

The 10-day in-patient program is being offered by Behavioral Health Services at Bradford Regional Medical Center in Pennsylvania. It includes time for evaluation and a 72-hour digital-detox program. Participants will then attend therapy sessions and seminars designed to help Internet users curb and control their habits.

The in-patient program will cost $14,000. (ABC News)
