What we are doing in America is like you're driving along and suddenly the red light comes on and the car stops and you call a tow truck and you're in a rush to get to work and you call a tow truck and the tow truck takes you to your work and then, after work, you call another tow truck to drive you home to pull you home instead of saying: what does the car need?
Imagine a recovery journey that goes beyond traditional methods and taps into the power of acupuncture and nutrition. In this episode of Elevation Recovery, hosts Chris Scott and Matt Finch sit down with Carolyn Reuben, L.Ac., the president of the Alliance for Addiction Solutions. Carolyn shares her deep knowledge of how acupuncture, specifically the 5-point NADA protocol, can aid in drug and alcohol detox. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
She delves into how nutrition and supplementation play a crucial role in restoring neurotransmitter levels, which are often depleted in individuals battling addiction. Carolyn also discusses the fascinating connection between the vagus nerve and addiction, shedding light on why a holistic approach can be so effective. She emphasizes that addiction is not just a behavioral issue but a biochemical one, and holistic methods like acupuncture can help repair the brain.
One standout point is the importance of group settings in addiction treatment. For acupuncturists, this means learning to work effectively in groups to support those in recovery. Carolyn also highlights the mission of the Alliance for Addiction Solutions, which aims to advance addiction treatment through monthly teleconferences, newsletters, and expanding the use of holistic approaches. This episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice for anyone interested in or affected by addiction recovery.
Tune in to learn how these innovative techniques can make a real difference.
