We have included links and information about how you can benefit from Acupuncture Treatments and how they work.
PTSD:

Just text the office that you would like to receive “ear-treatment” and wait for a response. The number to text is: (360) 904-3113.
Insomnia:
Acupuncture is commonly used in treating insomnia in China, and clinical studies have shown that acupuncture may have a beneficial effect on insomnia compared with Western medication
Addiction:
Acupuncture treats chemical addiction and behavioral compulsions that perpetuate a person’s tendency to abuse harmful substances like smoking, drinking, pharmaceuticals and drug abuse.
Acupuncture can be used to aid in treatment of addiction and to help patients to reduce prescribed medications which are difficult to withdraw from. Acupuncture treatment reduces withdrawal symptoms, aids in relaxation in cases of anxiety, improves sleep, and reduces cravings for drugs.
Internationally, acupuncture is used for withdrawal from drugs of abuse such as heroin and alcohol. For more information, please read The White Paper about this subject.
Acupuncture treatment can also be an adjunct therapy for decreasing the use of prescribed and over-the-counter pain medications including oxycodone, hydrocodone, and ibuprofen, as well as benzodiazapenes/anti-anxiety medications including xanax, ativan, and Klonapin, and antidepressants including effexor, paxil, Wellbutrin, and Trazadone.

Anxiety and Depression:
Anti-anxiety and anti-depressant medications and sleep aids will usually always require other therapies in conjunction with acupuncture. To successfully discontinue these medication, it is best to be under the supervision of your prescribing doctor as well as your psychologist/psychiatrist; most notably after long-term use of Trazadone, Ambien, and Klonapin.
While acupuncture is a valuable part of addiction treatment, it is not a stand-alone protocol for drug treatment. It is very important that patients working to reduce drug use utilize a complete array of modalities. For addiction, counselling along with medical supervision are usually appropriate. For detoxification from prescription drugs the prescribing physician’s cooperation is essential. Cigarette addiction can often be adequately addressed by acupuncture but other modalities such as medical treatment or nicotine patches or gum may be used as necessary
