What companies are investing in medical centers to treat video game addiction?

I know it is considered an actual medically diagnosable disorder by a lot of doctors. So, does anyone know which companies will put the money into a treatment center?

1. There is a treatment center. It is called the outdoors.
2. Here's one Smith & Jones Addiction Consultants http://www.theage.com.au/news/games/when-play-turns-into-pain/2006/08/09/1154802945871.html?page=fullpage http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8I489R80&show_article=1
3. Most places that will treat people for video game addictions vary with all sorts of addictions as well. I have never seen any business that specializes in only video game addiction, but it is not very different than any other addiction.
4. At the current time, video game "addiction" is NOT diagnosable (officially) in the DSM-IV-tr or the current version of the ICD. Until that time, it is highly unlikely that any funding/grants would be issued to study and/or treat it. Companies invest in studies/treatment when it is potentially profitable. Until it is officially diagnosable (and then unofficially treatable), the vast majority of companies will not invest a dime in it. ~M~
