Auricular acupuncture and substance misuse: a clinical audit

Description

J of Chin Med (2008), Blacker, Paul.

Abstract

This article reports on a clinical audit of a substance misuse service in Kent (UK). The audit assessed the efficacy of auricular acupuncture treatment of the symptoms commonly associated with addiction, as well as measuring its benefits in the clinical management of substance misuse. The results suggest that regular auricular acupuncture treatment has significant benefits to offer clients of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services, and that it is a safe and cost-effective treatment that is particularly effective in helping to retain clients in treatment.
