TCM for Addiction Recovery
Addiction recovery is one of the most challenging journeys a person can undertake, affecting not just the individual but their entire support network.
Traditional addiction treatment approaches often focus on psychological interventions while leaving the physical and energetic aspects of recovery largely unaddressed.
Many people in recovery struggle with persistent anxiety, sleep disturbances, cravings, and physical discomfort that can make maintaining sobriety feel like an uphill battle. At Qi Rising Studio, we understand that addiction affects every aspect of your being, and our specialized auricular acupuncture protocols offer evidence-based support that can significantly enhance your recovery journey.
A Holistic Framework for Recovery
Addiction is never just about the substance or behaviour - it's a complex condition that affects your entire system. Our approach recognises that lasting recovery requires addressing multiple interconnected factors:
Physical Restoration - Supporting your body's natural healing processes and helping restore healthy sleep patterns and energy levels that substance use may have disrupted.
Nervous System Regulation - Helping your body learn to manage stress, anxiety, and emotional intensity without relying on substances.
Nutritional Support - Addressing the nutritional deficiencies that often accompany addiction and supporting your body's detoxification pathways.
Energetic Balance - Working with your body's energy systems to address underlying patterns while supporting your innate capacity for healing.

The Science Behind Auricular Acupuncture for Addiction
Auricular acupuncture for addiction is an evidence-based approach with over 40 years of clinical research.
The NADA (National Acupuncture Detoxification Association) protocol has been implemented in thousands of treatment centres worldwide and is recognized by major health organisations as an effective adjunct therapy for addiction recovery.
Research demonstrates that auricular acupuncture can reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings, decrease anxiety during detoxification, improve sleep quality, enhance treatment retention rates, and support the body's natural detoxification processes. The protocol works by stimulating specific points on the ear that correspond to organs and systems involved in addiction and recovery.
