THE NADA PROTOCOL
From the NADA website (acudetox.com) comes a wonderful description of the NADA Protocol:
"Individuals trained through NADA apply up to five fine-gauge, sterilized, one-time use stainless steel needles just under the skin at designated points in each ear. The needles remain there 30-45 minutes. Ordinarily, groups of people sit together while undergoing the treatment. The procedure functions as an adjunct within a comprehensive treatment program that offers other therapeutic elements including counseling, education, family involvement, mutual support group involvement, and supportive medical health care."
"Clients in all types of treatment settings including inpatient, outpatient, incarcerated, shelters, harm reduction and street outreach can utilize this treatment. Among the benefits reported by both clients and clinicians are improved program retention, a more optimistic and cooperative attitude toward the process of recovery, as well as reductions in cravings, anxiety, sleep disturbance and need for pharmaceuticals."
"The NADA protocol is also commonly referred to as: Acudetox, acupuncture detoxification, five point ear acupuncture protocol, five point protocol, 5NP."
"Beyond the actual needling treatment, a key element of the protocol specifies qualities of behavior and attitude on the part of the clinician, consistent with what is known as The Spirit of NADA."
Answers to Frequent Questions: Needles are only inserted into five specific points. They are never inserted into the ear canal. Our sterile needles are thinner than a human hair. They are single-use acupuncture needles and sanitary technique is always used. These needles are never re-used and we dispose of them in approved containers. The insertion is usually not even felt by the client. However, for those who are shy about needles, gold beads or tiny vaccaria seeds can be placed with medical tape as an alternative.
