Benefits of acupuncture detoxification

The reason why acupuncture detoxification is effective as compared to detoxification methods is that it doesn’t just only target a specific drug. Although originally developed for detoxification, the NADA protocol has shown efficacy when used in pretreatment harm reduction settings, throughout all stages of treatment, and as a relapse prevention/support intervention. It is consistent with the twelve-step recovery.

• Acupuncture detoxification can be successfully incorporated with a wide range of other addiction treatment methods.
• It can treat the whole person – body, mind, emotions, and spirit, not just symptoms.
• The treatment provides immediate and long-lasting effects.
• Acupuncture detoxification itself is non-addictive.
