Treatment centre for cryptocurrency addicts opens in the Scottish Borders
A treatment centre is opening in the Scottish Borders to treat people who are addicted to trading cryptocurrencies.
The residential treatment course for "crypto addicts" is based in Castle Craig Hospital in Peeblesshire.
The medical facility already runs treatment programmes for drug and alcohol addiction and hopes to treat people addicted to trading cryptocurrencies with techniques developed for gambling addicts. According to experts, cryptocurrency trading addicts show the same kind of behavioural addictions as problem gamblers.
