Supporting Opportunities to
Enhance Well-Being For All
National Acupuncture Detox Association (NADA) founded in 1970, developed an ear acupuncture protocol to reduce the negative effects of stress and trauma by detoxing the body and relaxing the nervous system. This protocol is now being used in communities all over the world.
Healing Opportunities is committed to making this highly effective treatment accessible to our community, helping people live healthier, more balanced lives.
Protocol:
Our NADA Ear Acupuncture Program uses a standardized, documented three-point to five-point treatment protocol with:
- On site treatments once a week by a licensed acupuncturist
- Quick and efficient duration: under an hour

What’s included:
