Auricular Acupuncture (Acudetox)

Acudetox is a five-point acupuncture protocol specifically designed for those struggling with substance use issues. The acupuncture needles are gently placed in the ear at specific points. This helps balance the body’s energy and assists the healing process. It is referred to in Eastern medicine as a yin tonification, restoring calm inner qualities like serenity. 


Acudetox has shown to decrease cravings for alcohol and drugs, withdrawal symptoms, relapse episodes, anxiety, insomnia and agitation.  Even more exciting, the effects can be immediate. There are usually no side effects and the intervention is inexpensive. Clients report relaxation, stress and craving reduction, mental clarity, an increased sense of wellbeing and more energy. To view more information and research on acudetox visit acudetox.com.

Also known as auricular acupuncture, acuDetox has proven effective in easing anxiety and fear that often consumes those struggling with drug  and alcohol addiction and impedes their recovery.

How Does AcuDetox Work?

Who Can Benefit from AcuDetox?

National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) professionals have devised a five-point acupuncture treatment. These five sites  correlate with three major organs: lungs, liver, and kidneys. Often, these organs have been found to be affected by stress and ongoing substance use. The other two additional points of placement are for the  sympathetic nervous system and sleep.


This procedure called AcuDetox involves gently placing five small,  sterilized disposable needles into specific sites on each ear. After the  placement occurs, it takes between thirty and forty-five minutes for  the treatment to take effect. During that time, clients can sit  individually or in a group.
