The Acudetox & Mindfulness Group is a clinically informed, trauma-responsive therapy group that combines auricular acupuncture (Acudetox) with evidence-based mindfulness practices to support relapse prevention, but can support clients in managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma. This group is facilitated by a certified Acupuncture Detoxification Specialist (ADS) and licensed mental health professional.

Each session includes a guided mindfulness practice, psychoeducation on stress reduction and emotional regulation, and a structured Acudetox treatment using five-point ear acupuncture, based on the NADA protocol. Participants are also engaged in brief processing and therapeutic discussion to enhance insight and reinforce coping strategies.

Clinical Objectives:

• Reduce physiological symptoms of anxiety and stress (e.g., insomnia, restlessness, irritability)

• Improve emotional regulation and impulse control

• Support detoxification and recovery for individuals with substance use disorders

• Increase mindfulness, self-awareness, and distress tolerance

• Enhance engagement in ongoing therapy and promote wellness
