Suggest Treatment For Social Networking Addiction In A Person With Asperger's Syndrome

I have a daughter with a intellectual disability (Asperger s) and she is addicted to twitter. On it all day, stays up most of the night. Doesn t eat, doesn t go to work. What can we do. We have tried taking it from her, but she lives in a group home and if she refuses, they have to honor that refusal.
