NEAR (Nimbin Ear Acupuncture Recovery) has been open for 6 months. They are the first of its kind in Australia to have an 'open door' policy to the whole community. NEAR is well received within the Nimbin Community. Volunteer practitioners have given over 1000 treatments since January.

Auricular therapy appeals to all sorts of people, from those looking at personal growth, wanting to strengthen their resolve in dealing with life issues, to those wanting to give up addictions such as cigarettes, alcohol, heroin, or marijuana.

Ear Acupuncture Recovery is a chemical free treatment that reduces withdrawal and craving for any addiction. Ear acupuncture is administered for 45 minutes in a group, followed by optional counseling for the individual in a group format (12 step recovery meeting). This is an 'open door' program where participation is voluntary, with no set entry criteria and minimal cost (donation). NEAR is currently open 6 days per week, offering 7 treatment sessions.

HISTORY: The NADA treatment protocol has been refined and developed for over 25 years at the Lincoln Hospital in the impoverished South Bronx of New York USA, and has provided morethan half a million treatments. in America many of the courts are referring to the NADA treatment protocol. it is currently being used in 700 treatment programs throughout the USA, Europe, and locations as diverse as Trinidad, saudi arabia and Nepal. the clinical trials have proven that the protocol is an effective treatment for addictions of all types, from prescripton drugs, alcohola nd cigarettes, gambling through to drugs such as heroin, cocaine, speed and marijuana, and is also useful in treating depression and anxiety.
