I have found, through practice, that temporary removal entices false incentives when the actual problem is substance addiction because it doesn’t remove/repair the problematic behavior.
If only it were limited to noncompliance you probably wouldn’t have to go as far as removal.
Actually we had a severe youtube and game problem. Not just being glued to it, but up to a point were the child became a "zombi" just wanting the screen.
Removing the phone temporarily, and then saying unless limits were followed the phone would be removed again actually worked. This of course needed to be repeated at every lapse. The most difficult thing as a parent was being thoroughly consistent - no ifs or buts. It would create a terrible scene every time. But after a few bouts things became much better.
But kid's are different. It totally varies from person to person what works and not.
