Addictions.

Acupuncture can help strengthen the body and cope with the withdrawal symptoms associated with smoking and drug addictions. Auricular (Ear) Acupuncture is often used and is a very effective way of dealing with addictions. Acupuncture does not make you want to stop smoking or stop taking other drugs, but it helps manage the symptoms and make it easier to stick to giving up. During your treatment for any addiction, the acupuncturist will help to motivate you and make suggestions that can make things slightly easier.

Depending on the level of the addiction and the severity of any withdrawal symptoms, more frequent or daily treatments may be required. A special rate is available if required.

Research into this therapy for drug addiction has shown some very encouraging results, and in many places there are clinics dedicated to providing acupuncture as part of rehabilitation programmes.
