About the NADA
Acudetox Protocol
Developed at the Lincoln Hospital, New York, by
Dr. Michael O. Smith in 1974 as a standardized
Auricular acupuncture procedure for use in the
treatment of substance addictions and for
behavioural health.
Widely used in the US, Canada, UK, Germany,
France, Italy, Switzerland and many other
countries around the world.
In addition to the original purpose for which the
protocol was developed, Auricular acupuncture
has also been used to help victims of traumatic
events such as the terrorist attacks on the World
Trade Centre, hurricanes Katrina and Rita,
earthquake victims and servicemen suffering
from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Acudetox is used to complement other
treatment modalities such as individual and/or
group counselling, participation in 12 step
programmes etc.
The protocol involves the gentle placement of 5
small, sterilized, disposable stainless steel
needles at specific points on each ear.
The client receiving treatment sits quietly,
individually or in a group setting, for 45 to 60
minutes. He or she receives such treatments as
frequently as needed. Subsequently the client
may occasionally receive tune ups, as needed.
The treatment is a non-verbal process, with
minimal interaction between the client and the
provider. The treatment activates the healing
potential within the client at the physical,
mental, emotional and spiritual levels.
The Acudetox treatment can be offered to the
client prior to an extended process of
assessment and diagnosis. It tends to increase
the client's readiness and willingness to
participate in treatment.
