Alternative therapies for many ailments exist in modern society, and many are highly effective in achieving their desired outcome whether that be complete abatement of disease or slowed progression.
Some within the field of addiction medicine believe that combining alternative therapies with traditional therapies insures the longest long-term sobriety success rates.
While auricular acupuncture has been around for over 25 years, the practice of utilizing it as an adjunct therapy to more traditional treatment modalities within the addiction field and is one that’s quickly being utilized in the most cutting-edge drug rehab facilities.
“Auricular acupuncture is commonly used for a variety of ailments in the Far East,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside
Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center. “When its effectiveness was seen by many professionals, many began wondering if that effectiveness could be translated to helping those in recovery from addiction. After following and studying the use of acupuncture, it was discovered that auricular acupuncture can, indeed, provide benefit to many individuals seeking substance abuse treatment. Within the past year, after careful consideration, Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center began offering auricular acupuncture as one of many of its treatment offerings for those recovering from addiction. Auricular acupuncture consists of methodically placing tiny needles on various functional points within the ear, with little if any discomfort to most individuals. Many of our clients utilizing this treatment method have reported increased relaxation as well as decreased cravings, both of which are essential to successful long-term recovery.”
