Digital addiction is a type of addiction that is showing itself with increasing momentum, particularly among teenagers and university students, compared to previous generations. Digital addiction (DA) is considered a problem that threatens individuals' life quality, physiological and psychological health, and academic life. There are known and still unexplored psycho-social causes of this phenomenon. Individuals can encounter a wide variety of risk and threat factors when they are intensely interacting with digital technologies. Similarly, some individuals can exhibit problematic behaviors in these environments. In this context, there are various proposed solutions with proven effectiveness in the literature for addressing digital addiction. In this study, a comprehensive literature review was conducted focusing on these proposed solutions and concluded that a holistic and collaborative approach is needed. Considering this need, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 experts from five different areas who have conducted academic research (psychiatry, clinical psychology, psychological counseling and guidance, instructional design, and digital security) on the roles and responsibilities of stakeholders in the digital addiction intervention model. As a result of the study, an interdisciplinary collaborative model against digital addiction was proposed. The model also includes suggestions for stakeholders and arguments. As a result of this study, a new perspective was brought to the digital addiction intervention process and proposals for intervention stages were developed.
