ABOUT NADA
Mission Statement: The National Acupuncture Detoxification Association is a not for profit training and advocacy organization that encourages community wellness through the use of a standardized auricular acupuncture protocol for behavioral health, including addictions, mental health, and disaster & emotional trauma. We work to improve access and effectiveness of care through promoting policies and practices which integrate NADA-style treatment with other Western behavioral modalities.
History: Starting in 1974, the staff and other professionals associated with the South Bronx's Lincoln Recovery Center spent 10 years developing the basic five ear-point NADA protocol for the treatment of addiction using the diagnostic tools of experience and trial and error. They determined a need for a national-level organization to expand training capacity and awareness of the value of acupuncture as a tool for recovery. Incorporated in 1985 in the state of New York, the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association has helped spread AcuDetox nationally and internationally.
