Acupuncture Therapy for Recovery
Natural Relief, Emotional Balance, and Lasting Wellness
At Heartland Recovery Center, we believe healing should address the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. That’s why we integrate acupuncture into our recovery program. This time-honored therapy helps ease withdrawal symptoms, reduce emotional distress, and promote internal balance throughout the recovery process.
Whether used during early detox or as part of ongoing wellness support, acupuncture provides a gentle, drug-free way to enhance comfort, improve outcomes, and support sustainable sobriety.
What Is Acupuncture and How Does It Help in Recovery?
Traditional Healing Backed by Modern Insight
Acupuncture is a therapeutic practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It involves inserting fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body to stimulate natural healing responses. In addiction treatment, acupuncture helps regulate the nervous system, ease physical discomfort, and stabilize emotional wellbeing.
