Hi Roos!
The example including the draconic camps was used to demonstrate that there is no consensus regarding treatment for internet addiction. These camps are, to put it frankly, not very nice places and I doubt whether they are very effective. See it as a way of going cold turkey paired with very strict guidelines and strong disciplinary efforts of the staff. How a person copes with their addiction after rehab is always a struggle, you can see it with former users of opioids. They have great difficulty not using again even after rehab. I imagine this is even worse with internet addiction due to the aforementioned all-encompassing form of the internet.
