Speaking of acudetox, The Great American Smokeout is Nov. 19th
Ready to stop smoking?
Join us Nov 19th for The Great American Smokeout.
We'll be offering FREE acudetox treatments all day on a walk in basis for those who are giving up their smokes.
Acudetox at South Austin Community Acupuncture
South Austin Community
Acupuncture is a sliding scale acupuncture clinic where treatments happen in a
group setting. We are now now making acudetox treatments available for a flat
$10 per session.
Acudetox treatment utilizes
the National Association of Detoxification Acupuncture (or NADA) protocol
developed by Dr. Michael Smith at the Lincoln
Recovery Center
in the Bronx . It is an extremely simple and
effective treatment consisting of the insertion of five small acupuncture
needles into points in each ear. It is used widely all over the world for all
kinds of addictions, habituated behaviors, stress, and trauma.
One of the more salient
features of the treatment is that it is a non-verbal therapy. You don’t have to
talk about where you’ve been or what you are going through. Rather, you
essentially do nothing. Hence the name: NADA (Spanish for nothing). In essence
what happens in the treatment is you get to experience a few moments of inner
peace. For most in recovery, this is a new experience – or at least one that
has long since been obscured or forgotten. So the NADA treatment affords a
glimpse of something we all possess innately inside ourselves.
We are separating the NADA
treatments from our usual $15-$40 sliding scale acupuncture, and making them
$10 because we want to make the process of getting acudetox treatments more
straightforward, and because we want people to be able to get frequent
treatments – which can be especially important early in the process of
recovery.

Blawg, Blawg, Blawg, Blawg, Blawg
The road to hell is paved with good intentions, so the saying goes. And so, a month has just about lapsed since my last post. Well, a lot has happened in that time to take me away from cyber reality. We got new shirts. We got new bumper stickers. We had our grand opening party, which was nuts - 45 free treatments were given. Los Pinkys played. Strange and interesting people came and went. We lived to tell the tale.
More to come...
