Addiction Recovery

Body-Based Support for Healing Patterns of Dependency

 

Addiction recovery is a deeply personal path. Whether you’re working through substance use, emotional attachments, or behavioral patterns, healing often requires support on more than just the mental level. Acupuncture offers quiet, embodied care that helps ease the physical and emotional burdens of withdrawal, craving, and change.
 

These treatments don’t replace other forms of recovery care—they deepen and support them. Rooted in East Asian Medicine, sessions help calm the nervous system, regulate inner rhythms, and support the body systems most impacted by long-term stress or substance use. Over time, this work can reduce withdrawal symptoms, stabilize mood, improve sleep, and help rebuild trust in the body

Common reasons people seek acupuncture during recovery:

  • Cravings or withdrawal symptoms

  • Nervous system agitation or emotional overwhelm

  • Anxiety, depression, or irritability during recovery

  • Sleep disruption, digestive changes, or poor circulation

  • Chronic pain where medications may not be an option

  • Fatigue, depletion, or disconnection from the body
     

Our Approach

 

We use gentle, individualized acupuncture techniques to regulate the nervous system and support the organ systems affected by long-term strain. 

Care is nonjudgmental and centered on restoring connection—to your body, your breath, and your own capacity to heal.

What to Expect

 

You’re welcome here whether you’re just beginning your recovery or have been walking this path for years. Acupuncture can be integrated with any approach—whether that includes therapy, 12-step work, medication-assisted treatment, or your own self-guided process. Our only requirement is that you arrive sober for your care. 
 

If you’re in early recovery or detox, we recommend weekly (or more frequent) sessions for additional support. You’re welcome to book private sessions or drop into community acupuncture, depending on your needs and comfort.
