Acupuncture
Thin needles, placed at specific points on the body, help calm the nervous system during early recovery. At Skilton Institute, acupuncture is a core part of many treatment plans, easing cravings and restlessness so you or your loved one can settle into the harder work of healing.
How Acupuncture Works in Treatment
Small, thin needles placed at specific points on the body, and a quiet room where you can breathe and let your shoulders drop. That is most of what an acupuncture session feels like at Skilton Institute. Many clients use it to ease cravings, calm restlessness, sleep better, and settle the physical edge of anxiety.
Our licensed clinicians treat acupuncture as one part of a full treatment plan, not a standalone fix. As you or your loved one make progress, they adjust the approach to match where recovery actually stands.
