Treatment is provided by a Licensed Acupuncturist L.Ac. and consists of the insertion of three to five sterilized disposable needles into specific points in each ear. Each point stimulates an internal body function such as the central nervous system, kidneys, liver, and lungs – reducing your craving for alcohol or drugs. Needles remain in the ear for 30 to 45 minutes.
Once the needles are in place, you will find the treatment quite relaxing. Acupuncture stimulates the body to produce endorphins, which help relieve stress and symptoms. With regular treatments, many people report sleeping better, feeling more rested, and having more energy. Acupuncture supports the recovery process at every stage to help you establish balance and harmony in your life.
