man experiencing how acupuncture and addiction treatment connectAs you start looking for the best rehab treatment center for your drug or alcohol addiction recovery, start by seeking one suited to your age, interests and individual needs. Being among peers in a peaceful setting helps you engage more deeply in your treatment and early recovery. You also benefit from exposure to alternative methods, on top of evidence-based therapies. So with individual, group, and family therapy, look for methods like acupuncture and addiction treatment using holistic practices. In doing so, you will learn how acupuncture therapy can help you reach recovery.

Acupuncture’s Place in Rehab Treatment

Acupuncture and addiction treatment pair well together. This traditional method used in Chinese medicine proves itself useful today, as it has for thousands of years. People struggling with conditions like chronic pain, headaches, and post-surgical side effects benefit from the practice. Even addiction shows positive results from this Eastern medicine technique.

Having an open mind benefits you, as you seek your strongest and longest-lasting recovery. Simply trying new methods possibly opens doors to the right mix of therapies and practices for your best benefit. For many people in rehab treatment, acupuncture works wonders, while others believe the method complements other approaches well. You never know what works best for you, until you try.

How Do Acupuncture and Addiction Recovery Go Together?

Chinese medicine has used acupuncture for thousands of years. But only since the 1970s has the practice worked for people in recovery as part of rehab treatment. Treatment centers added acupuncture and addiction methods of other types as ways of soothing stress, anxiety, trauma, and cravings.

Acupuncture relies on using micro-thin, painless needles that stimulate specific points on your body for specific benefits. In addiction treatment, auricular acupuncture proves most helpful. This method involves the insertion of the needles into your outer ear to relieve withdrawal symptoms.

According to the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA), auricular acupuncture works well with other detox and rehab methods. They state it boosts your positive outlook, attitude, sleep and sense of calm. NADA also claims this acupuncture reduces cravings, anxiety, and need for some medications. When you pair this method with other addiction treatment programs, you can give yourself the best possible chance at success.

Acupuncture as Part of a Well-Rounded Treatment Plan

Acupuncture alone does not treat addiction. Instead, you need a well-rounded treatment plan with many types of therapies and proven treatment methods. Of utmost importance are your talk therapies and experiential therapies. These include counseling, education, support and psychoanalysis in individual, group and family sessions.

Millions of people in the U.S. benefit from acupuncture every year. But the method has little evidence supporting how acupuncture and addiction pair. The best gauge for how these types of treatments work for you is through your own experience. When used in a mix of evidence-based practices, you certainly have nothing to lose by experiencing acupuncture and potentially have much to gain.

An array of addiction therapy services works best toward strong, lifelong recovery. These services and therapies include:

  • Experiential therapy
  • Dual diagnosis treatment
  • Trauma therapy
  • Individual therapy
  • Group therapy
  • Relapse prevention and coping skills education
  • Individualized treatment plans

Treatment programs at Red Oak Recovery in Asheville, NC provide all of these therapies and approaches. Contact Red Oak Recovery now at 866-457-7590 to learn more about how acupuncture and addiction treatment help you gain your best recovery.
