22nd Annual Conference -
NADA Communities of Recovery and Psychological First Aid
Kansas City, Missouri
May 20-21, 2011
Mission of the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association
The National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA), a not-for-profit training and advocacy organization, encourages community wellness through the use of a standardized auricular acupuncture protocol for behavioral health, including addictions, mental health, and disaster & emotional trauma. We work to improve access and effectiveness of care through promoting policies and practices which integrate NADA-style treatment with (other) Western behavioral health modalities.
Tell me more... The NADA 5-point ear acupuncture protocol has been carefully developed and extensively tested. Click here to find literature written about the protocol. Experienced clinicians who are registered NADA trainers provide training to become an Acudetox Specialist in a variety of locations nationwide and in coordination with an annual conference. Go to our training page to find a list of currently scheduled trainings.
More than 1500 clinical sites in the US, Europe, Australia and the Caribbean currently use this protocol.
While adapted to Western attitudes and conditions, the NADA method derives directly from the Chinese medicine theory of detoxification. Our best hope for success is a unified application of this protocol, which NADA promotes through:
1. Public education about auricular acupuncture as a recovery tool
2. Training of professionals in the use of the protocol
3. Consultation with local organizations in setting up treatment sites
4. Distribution of reference materials about acupuncture as an adjunctive treatment
