Acu-Detox treatment begins with inserting sterile ear acupuncture needles into the 5 detox points on each ear, for up to 40 minutes. The 5 detox points have been shown to effectively address the major organs in the body that are negatively impacted by the effects of substance usage and brain chemistry issues. These points relate to the lungs, liver, and kidneys as well as the sympathetic nervous system, and ‘Spirits Gate’, a point which harmonizes the spirit and reduces pain and the effects of craving. The treatment has an affect on the organ and bodily functions that cleanse and balance the body and support general well-being.

The treatment involves sitting or lying down privately as during an acupuncture treatment, and sometimes a group is gathered where individuals are in the presence of others who are also undergoing treatment, generally seated in chairs. Always a peaceful treatment atmosphere can be expected. Groups are offered at a significantly reduced fee. Chinese herbs are additionally offered to promote supportive results between acu-detox sessions.
