3 Day NADA Acudetox training- 11/22, 11/23 and 12/7
What is the NADA/5NP Protocol?
A non-verbal approach to healing that involves the placement of up to five acupuncture needles into specific sites on each ear. Recipients sit quietly in a group setting for 30-45 minutes.
NADA/5NP is clinically effective, cost-efficient, and drug-free.
Can easily be established within behavioral health, addictions or disaster relief settings or in any location that a group of people can sit together.
Adjunct therapy that supports ongoing support such as counseling, education, medical support and self-help groups such as AA and NA enhances opportunities for success.
Benefits of NADA:
• Reduced cravings for alcohol and drugs, including nicotine
• Minimized withdrawal symptoms
• Increased calmness, better sleep, and less agitation
• Relief from stress and emotional trauma
• An easier connection with counseling
• A discovery of inner quiet and strength and an intention for recovery

Both West Virginia and Virginia have opened up the use of this protocol to a wide variety of practitioners working with populations in need.
