Acupuncture

Research demonstrates that even after an individual stops using substances or dependent behaviors like gambling addiction or compulsive shopping, withdrawal symptoms still persist - even after detoxification. In fact this occurs every 90 days (called Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome) in the first two years of most people's recovery.

Research has also shown that auricular acupuncture is extremely effective at combating the obsession and craving associated with withdrawal and post-acute withdrawal.

Auricular acupuncture is offered to all participants when first entering the program. Clients participate up to five days per week. Acupuncture is performed in accordance with accepted standards, and relaxation skills are taught throughout the sessions.

Dr. Lora Stonecipher, D.O.M., provides this treatment. Most of our clients report getting great benefit from this approach.

Acupuncture is provided in group sessions at very affordable prices and is available from Dr. Stonecipher on an individual basis also at affordable rates.
