Healing the Body and Mind at Clear Path Recovery
Recovery from drug and alcohol addiction is not just about quitting substances—it’s about healing the whole person. At Clear Path Recovery, we believe in a holistic approach to treatment, which includes proven alternative therapies like acupuncture and cupping to support physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness during rehab.
These ancient healing practices offer powerful support in detox, early recovery, and long-term healing—and for many, they provide relief and balance in a way that traditional methods alone cannot.
What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a therapeutic practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It involves the gentle insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body to promote energy flow (or “Qi”), relieve pain, and support the body’s natural healing processes.
In addiction treatment, acupuncture is often used to:
• Ease withdrawal symptoms
• Reduce anxiety and stress
• Improve sleep
• Support emotional regulation
• Help reduce cravings
• Restore balance in the nervous system
One commonly used method in addiction recovery is the NADA protocol (National Acupuncture Detoxification Association), which targets five key points in the ear to calm the body, center the mind, and assist with detox.
What Is Cupping?
Cupping is another Traditional Chinese Medicine technique that involves placing suction cups on the skin to stimulate blood flow, release muscle tension, and remove toxins. Cupping is known for its distinctive circular marks and its deep-relaxing effects.
In the context of drug and alcohol rehab, cupping helps:
• Relieve chronic aches and muscle tension
• Improve circulation and support detoxification
• Reduce anxiety and emotional stress
• Boost the immune system
• Promote a sense of grounding and calm
Cupping is especially helpful for individuals who are holding stress, trauma, or withdrawal symptoms in their body and need a safe, physical release.
