TREATMENT - ALCOHOL / DRUG ADDICTION

 

Addiction can be a tough cycle to break. You must find a way to detoxify your body and control the strong cravings of your addiction. We use Acupuncture to help you overcome your cravings and also reduce the withdrawal symptoms.

Acupuncture is an Eastern medicine technique that has been utilized for centuries. One of the uses that surprise most people is acupuncture as a method to treat symptoms of substance abuse withdrawal.

A Treatment Found by Mistake

It was 1970 and a neurosurgeon by the name of H.L. Wen, the only one in all of South China, was getting ready to use electro-acupuncture as a method of surgical analgesia. The patient who happened to be withdrawing from opium, reported a relief in symptoms of withdrawal. Wen immediately canceled the surgery and went looking for patients who were also experiencing symptoms of withdrawal. Wen utilized the same acupuncture treatment and found that these patients also experienced a reduction in symptoms. It was at this moment that acupuncture as a treatment for substance abuse withdrawal came into fruition.
