A Gentle Auricular Approach to Support Balance & Recovery
Acudetox is a specialized form of ear acupuncture based on the NADA protocol. Fine acupuncture needles are placed at specific points of the outer ear during a calm, structured treatment session.
The approach is commonly incorporated into broader care plans focused on relaxation, recovery, emotional regulation, stress management, cravings, and overall well-being.
At Restore Osteopathic Medicine, Acudetox can be considered as one part of a personalized, whole-person approach to care.

Support for Stress, Recovery & Emotional Well-Being
The Acudetox protocol is commonly used in settings where relaxation, emotional regulation, recovery support, and stress management are part of the overall treatment plan.

Support That Complements the Rest of Your Care
Acudetox is a complementary therapy and is not a substitute for emergency care, medical treatment, psychotherapy, or evidence-based substance-use treatment. Individual response varies, and a qualified provider should determine whether Acudetox is appropriate as part of your overall care plan.
