Acupuncture for addiction can evoke a better sense of calm and well-being. The less substance abuse withdrawal symptoms you’re experiencing, the better you’re able to focus on treatment and getting better. Less withdrawal symptoms may also prevent relapse. People who try to withdraw from drugs and alcohol on their own without the help of professionals are likely to relapse because they want to stop the physical or psychological withdrawal symptoms that can come with it.
Common conditions acupuncture therapy has been used to treat include:
- Drug and alcohol withdrawal symptoms
- Depression and anxiety symptoms
- Chronic pain
- Headaches and migraines
- Menstrual cramps
- Labor pain
- Low back pain
- Dental pain
- Infertility
- Osteoarthritis
- Insomnia
- Muscle aches
- Nausea
- Asthma
- Fibromyalgia
Acu Detox draws on auricular (The Ears) acupuncture protocols targeted to addictions, trauma, and mental health disorders. The actual acupuncture session and experience is much like a regular acupuncture session. An acupuncturist inserts very small, sterile needles into your skin and then you sit still and quietly for at least 20-30 minutes.
Dual diagnosis treatment that includes acupuncture can help with the stress, anxiety, and depression that are often associated with alcohol and drug addiction
