Abstract
The article discusses the problem of digital addiction among adolescents and young adults within the context of socio-anthropology. Given the presence of this problem, we formed, as part of a project at the faculty and part of the psychotherapeutic approach to the treatment of the problem, an individual and a group program for the psychosocial treatment of digital addiction for adolescents and young adults. In the present article we clearly present both programs, which represent an innovative curative quality program. Both are designed coherently and focus on the manifested symptoms as well as on the treatment of the psychosocial background. They are designed on the basis of positive foreign practices, are adequately upgraded with consultative-therapeutic modality elements and are designed systematically and continuously, with the proper context and activity upgrade all the way up to the adolescent's regain of control over his life.
