The NADA Protocol can be easily used in any location where a group of people can sit together. It is most commonly used for addictions, behavioral health, disasters & emotional trauma. It is a technique that is versatile, effective and economical.
Training
A variety of Healthcare Practitioners and Community Members have been trained as Auricular Detox Specialists (ADS) including addiction workers, acupuncturists, community health workers, social workers, and family members.
Resources
We have a robust resource section full of research articles, videos, eligibility requirements for training, and more. Joining NADA will open up access to all past issues of our newsletter, Guidepoints, as well as other documents.

The Spirit of NADA creates a zone of peace within
