4 of our recovery coordinators are now trained to provide auricular acupuncture treatments! Auricular Acupuncture involves inserting very thin needles into the ear. The outer ear is like a switchboard that sends impulses to the brain. This helps release endorphins. Endorphins are chemicals produced by the body to relieve stress and pain.
Acupuncture can help with stress, anxiety, coping with trauma and emotional wellbeing. It's particularly effective for cravings and withdrawal symptoms. This is when it's used with other drug and alcohol treatments.
