There are a number of Alternative Drug Addiction Treatments which are sometimes offered at drug detox and rehab clinics. These include:

Acupuncture
Homeopathy
Shiatsu
Traditional Chinese Medicine

Are Alternative Treatments effective for drug addiction treatment?

The use of complementary therapies in the treatment of substance misuse is an under-researched area. However anecdotal, subjective evidence from clients suggests that a programme of therapy which includes elements of less traditional medicine and massage are beneficial.

There is widespread agreement that the availability of some complimentary therapies (in particular Shiatsu and auricular acupuncture) increases attendance at specialist services, and this is reason enough to support their continued place amongst the range of interventions available
