Barbara writes in her June 2009 newsletter,
"I recently took the first half of 32 hours of training to become a NADA (National Acupuncture Detoxification Association) certified practitioner. Within the next six months, I hope to become fully certified to treat symptoms of addiction abatement including insomnia, cravings, anxiety, panic, pain, etc. The treatment is different from standard acupuncture treatments because it uses only five needles in both ears and is delivered in a group setting on a drop-in basis two to three times a week. The cost is assessed on a sliding scale making it affordable to most everyone. It is appropriate for people with eating disorders, diabetes, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, PSTD, and prescription drug withdrawal among others."

From the NADA info sheet:
Acupuncture for the treatment of addiction disorders is a recent development in the history of this ancient medicine. For centuries, Asian cultures have placed needles in precise locations on the body to relieve pain and treat disease. Only since 1972, when a Hong Kong neurosurgeon, H.L. Wen M.D., discovered that acupuncture could alleviate symptoms of withdrawal, has this method been used for detoxification and relapse prevention.
In the USA, acupuncture detoxification was first introduced on an outpatient basis in 1974 at Lincoln Hospital, a facility in the South Bronx area of New York City. By the mid-1980's, the success of this unique procedure had become so evident that treatment facilities across the US began incorporating acupuncture into their substance abuse programming.
In 1985, the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) was established to promote education and training of chemical dependency clinicians in the NADA ear acupuncture protocol. In 1987, Bullock, Culliton and Olander published research on the effectiveness of acupuncture in treating chronic addiction. Acupuncture detoxification grew rapidly, evolved and is now used effectively for acute and prolonged withdrawal as well as relapse prevention.
Over one thousand programs in the USA now use acupuncture and NADA is proud of this success. NADA has trained over 5,000 clinicians and acupuncturists in the US and worldwide.
