A Different Kind of AOD Recovery Support

I’ve worked in AOD rehabilitation settings for years. I’ve sat with people in the rawest moments: detoxing, relapsing, starting over again. I’ve seen what acupuncture can offer when someone is ready to receive it. This treatment is for those of you who have completed your rehabilitation and are looking for ongoing support for the symptoms and cravings that may still be present for you.

Not a quick fix. Just quiet, consistent support for a body that’s been through more than it should have.

“What does my body need right now to feel safe?”

What My AOD Support Offers

Acupuncture won’t erase what’s happened. But it will walk alongside you.

How it helps:

  • Quiets the restlessness: the agitation, the cravings, the feeling you might crawl out of your skin
  • Eases withdrawal symptoms that keep you awake, nauseous, wired
  • Settles a nervous system that’s been running on high alert for too long
  • Supports digestion that’s been through more than it should have
  • Restores energy that doesn’t rely on stimulation, just slow rebuilding

What Treatment Can Look Like

Every session is shaped around where you’re at.

  • Body acupuncture: To assist your nervous system in achieving some stability.
  • Ear acupuncture: Points proven to reduce the anxiety and agitation that so frequently accompany recovery.
  • Chinese herbs: Blended specifically for you. Mild enough for detox, potent enough to support what’s been depleted.
  • Cupping or Gua Sha: If your body feels burdened, as if it’s clinging to things you are prepared to release. They help in shifting the stagnant regions, aiding your body’s innate process of elimination

And always, conversation. Practical, real-world advice on food and daily rhythms that fit your life. Not a protocol. Just small shifts that could help.

How Progress Really Looks

This work doesn’t promise you’ll never struggle again. The struggles could get softer, further apart, easier to meet.

What we pay attention to over time:

  • Is your sleep deeper?
  • Do cravings feel less overwhelming?
  • Does your body feel more like home?
  • Are there more moments when you just feel like you’re living?
