What is Acudetox? Acudetox is a specific type of acupuncture treatment. It involves the gentle placement of five small, thin, sterilized, disposable stainless steel needles, called pins, in specific sites on each ear of the person undergoing treatment. Acudetox is a non-verbal process that does not require extended interviews or the disclosure of personal information. Treatment benefits begin on the first day that you receive the pins. Benefits Acudetox has been shown to significantly decrease: cravings for alcohol and drugs, withdrawal symptoms, relapse, inpatient detox admissions, anxiety, insomnia and agitation. Acupuncture treatments become more effective as time passes. Tolerance does not happen with Acudetox. Acudetox treatment helps you become relaxed and more comfortable with your own thoughts, letting go of tensions and apprehensions, and the experience teaches you personal skills which help you in counseling, groups, and other challenges. This treatment supports quiet participation in a group with others who are involved in recovery. You will learn to develop your own space or comfort zone. The treatment is simple and effective. You don't have to like it or believe that it works for it to be effective. The pins do their job. Acudetox enhances other program components. The more frequent the sessions, the more benefit you will notice. Patients in other treatment programs must follow a behavioral contract to receive incentives or rewards. Acudetox treatment service is immediate, tangible, and visible the first time. Acudetox offers each person an experience of relief right away. Most people report being more centered or focused. Are there any side effects? Acudetox treatments are simple and safe. Side effects are rare and may include slight soreness at the sight of insertion, minor bruising, headache which is usually relieved by adjusting the pins, slight nausea or dizziness, and an occasional minor drop of blood.
