Acupuncture Addiction Therapy

Nicotine:

Acupuncture as an alternative approach to smoking cessation has worked for many who failed using nicotine patches, gums, and other harmful medications. Acupuncture treatment has the ability to reduce cravings and alleviate withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, anxiety, and difficulty concentrating, which makes it a great solution to stop smoking.

Caffeine:

Caffeine addiction might seem like a minor addiction compared to nicotine, alcohol, or other drug addictions, however, it can still make it difficult for you to fall asleep.

Sugar:

Sugar is more addictive than most drugs, yet we brush off sugar addictions as nonthreatening. Consuming too much sugar can wreak havoc on your body, and it’s time to take sugar addiction seriously. End your sugar addiction now!

Alcohol:

Acupuncture works to treat more than just the physical addictions to alcohol, it also treats the emotional ties to the dependency on alcohol. Some of the symptoms relieved through treating your alcoholism can be the ability to think clearly, reduce emotional overreactions, help memory problems, reduce sleep disturbances, as well as reduce the physical harm to your body.

Drugs:

The effects of acupuncture on opiate addiction, among many types of addictions, have been investigated in many clinical trials which have found the efficacy of acupuncture as a strategy for the treatment of opiate addiction.

Here is one such article on Treatment of Opiate Dependency.

Recovery Treatment Programs That Work

Acupuncture is becoming a complementary treatment in many recovery programs. One such treatment program is Auricular or ear acupuncture, which is a popular form of this treatment that involves shallow insertion of a thin needle at various points on the skin of the external ear to help ease withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings.

Acupuncture therapy has been used to treat substance abuse, and other types of dependencies effectively.
