Acupuncture for Addiction

Yoskarn Clinic Bangkok, with over 40 years of experience, we provide acupuncture treatments for addiction to help patients naturally detox, reduce cravings, and manage withdrawal from alcohol, drugs, nicotine, caffeine, and prescription medications.

How Acupuncture Helps

Acupuncture balances the body’s Qi and supports physical and emotional recovery. Treatments commonly use Auricular Ear Acupuncture following the NADA protocol, which targets five key ear points:

• Sympathetic: balances nervous system, reduces pain

• Shenmen (Spirit Gate): relieves anxiety and stress

• Kidney: restores energy and willpower

• Liver: supports liver recovery, reduces anger

• Lung: strengthens immunity, aids detox

Combined with psychological counseling and, optionally, Chinese Herbal Medicine, acupuncture can enhance detoxification, reduce withdrawal symptoms, and support long-term recovery.

Treatment Approach

• Initial detox: daily sessions until stable

• Post-detox: 1–2 sessions per week for several weeks

• Maintenance: monthly sessions to prevent relapse

At Yoskarn Clinic, we integrate traditional Chinese medicine with modern clinical expertise to provide a safe, supportive, and effective recovery environment.
