The reSTART Center for Digital Technology Sustainability provides a 45-90 day retreat for mainly young adult men. The center offers these men a place to free themselves of the compulsive drive to stay connected to digital technology, develop a plan for moderated use, strengthen their life skills and physical fitness, and then implement their plans in a semi-independent transitional living experience that includes work, academics, and therapy.
