If you would like to know more about the benefits of acupuncture therapy, then feel free to contact us and ask questions. An acupuncture specialist from our drug and alcohol detox center in Hanover, PA will be happy to discuss your addiction and talk about how acupuncture can help you.

What is Acupuncture?

During acupuncture, a treatment specialist uses needles to stimulate points along your body. The purpose of acupuncture is to help you relieve pain and stress. It can also help you relieve nausea.

When the specialist sticks a given point with needles, it releases energy, which can bring a sense of healing. Some scientists believe that stimulation causes the brain to release endorphins. The endorphins, in turn, will trigger good physical or mental feelings.

How Acupuncture Is Connected to Addiction Treatment

During detox, you are likely to experience a wide range of symptoms, including anxiety, discomfort, pain, and nausea or vomiting. When combined with other forms of treatment, including other holistic treatments such as a yoga therapy program, acupuncture can help reduce your stress and trauma during different points of your recovery period.

For instance, after detox, you may still feel anxiety and stress as you go through your therapy or other treatment. Acupuncture can relieve your emotional tension or stress and bring you back to mental stability.

Other benefits of acupuncture include:

Reduces your cravings
Lowers your anxiety
Promotes a better nights sleep
An alternative to medication-assisted treatment
Can make you healthier both mentally and emotionally

Although there is not enough sufficient evidence to link acupuncture with substance abuse recovery, patients often cite that it calms them down, improves their outlook on their recovery, and reduces their cravings. As such, many addiction treatment programs in Hanover, PA offer acupuncture.
