Why AcuDetox?
Auricular Acupuncture Detoxification
AcuDetox, also known as Acupuncture Detoxification, is a form of ear acupuncture used in addiction and behavioral health treatment. It is based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, which involve the stimulation of specific points on the ear using tiny needles to promote balance and healing in the body.
AcuDetox has been shown to be effective in treating a variety of conditions, including drug and alcohol addiction, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and chronic pain. It has also been used to help people quit smoking and reduce cravings for drugs and alcohol.
