Acuwellness

HAMHDS staff are trained to offer the NADA Acuwellness Protocol, which involves the gentle placement of up to five small, sterilized disposable needles into specific points on each ear. This protocol can help to reduce cravings for substances, minimize withdrawal symptoms, provide relief from stress and emotional trauma, and more.  During the treatment, participants are asked to remain seated and are encouraged to use the time for quiet reflection. Treatments last from 20-60 minutes depending on the individual’s preference and time available. Acuwellness is offered for free to anyone 18 years or older at three monthly clinics:

• 1^st Wednesday of each month, 12-1pm at Richmond Medical Park | 2010 Bremo Rd., Ste 122, Henrico, VA 23226
