While adapted to Western attitudes and conditions, the NADA method derives directly from Chinese medicine theory of detoxification. Public education about acupuncture as a recovery tool. Training and certification of professionals in use of the technique. Consultation with local organizations in setting up treatment sites. Distribution of NADA-approved literature, audiotapes and videotapes.
NADA is a nonprofit organization which relies primarily on volunteers.
NADA is a catalyst for social development. After NADA comes in and provides training and consultation, the acupuncture treatment programs are run by local agencies. Acupuncture detoxification is inexpensive, drug-free and popular in most cultural circumstances. A clinic can be established in any location where people being treated can sit in a group. Upon completion of training, your name is submitted to NADA for final approval.
