Acupuncture: A Supplemental Therapy at 360 Integrated Recovery
At 360 Integrated Recovery, situated in the vibrant neighborhood of North Hollywood, Los Angeles, we’re committed to providing a range of treatment modalities. Among these, acupuncture stands out as a unique offering, serving as a supplemental therapy in our comprehensive program for recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.
The Role of Acupuncture in Addiction Recovery
Acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, has been used traditionally to treat a variety of ailments, from pain and headaches to nausea and fatigue. More recently, it’s been adopted to aid those suffering from substance use disorders and alcoholism. At 360 Integrated Recovery, our approach involves integrating this practice into our broader therapeutic framework, which includes individual counseling and group sessions.
The Process and Benefits of Acupuncture
Our licensed professionals perform acupuncture treatments as needed, using it as a tool to manage addiction and withdrawal symptoms. The treatment process involves stimulating specific points on the body, often on the ear, known to help reduce anxiety, improve organ function, and balance the body’s energy.
Anecdotal evidence indicates that acupuncture can help diminish the rewards associated with substance use. This includes reducing the pleasure derived from euphoria and mitigating the discomfort of withdrawal symptoms. Each session takes place in a softly lit, peaceful environment, designed to promote tranquility.
Acupuncture and Neurotransmitter Balance
Beyond its calming effects, research suggests that acupuncture can significantly impact the brain’s neurotransmitters. It can help ease stress by affecting serotonin production and decrease cravings by reducing dopamine levels. Furthermore, it may aid in pain relief during withdrawal by promoting the release of endorphins.
At 360 Integrated Recovery, we believe in a holistic, targeted approach to recovery. Offering acupuncture as part of our comprehensive treatment plan, we aim to support our clients’ healing journey by alleviating stress, reducing cravings, and enhancing overall well-being.
