Since 1972 auricular acupuncture has been applied clinically as a safe, effective and low cost approach to addressing drug and alcohol dependency. Commonly used as an adjunct to established addiction treatment programs, the NADA protocol is applied in over a thousand addiction centers throughout the US and Canada. Acudetox involves the insertion of five small needles into specific locations in both ears which stimulates the detoxification of chemical substances from the body and controls withdrawal symptom.

What is NADA? The National Acupuncture Detox Association supports education and training related to the use of a specific auricular acupuncture protocol in addiction treatment to relieve suffering during detoxification and withdrawal. NADA strives to make acupuncture based barrier-free addiction treatment accessible in all communities and to ensure its integration with other treatment modalities.
