Acudetox Therapy in Denver, CO
Starting with Your Nervous System
Maybe you’re here because you’ve tried different approaches for trauma, anxiety, relationship struggles, or self-esteem—and you still don’t feel the relief you need. You might feel stuck on high alert, easily overwhelmed, or swing into shutdown when things get too much. If talking about what happened feels exhausting (or impossible), you’re not alone.
Acudetox therapy is a body-first, largely nonverbal way to support nervous system regulation. It can help create more calm, steadiness, and tolerance—making somatic therapy and trauma work easier to access.
At Somatic Therapy Partners, Acudetox therapy can be offered as a standalone support or integrated alongside somatic psychotherapy, depending on what you need.

What Is Acudetox Therapy?
Acudetox therapy is a standardized ear acupuncture approach designed to support nervous system regulation. It’s often used as a calming, low-demand experience—especially when you feel overwhelmed, shut down, or too exhausted to “talk it out.” Many clients experience it as a quiet reset that helps the body settle so healing work becomes more accessible.
Why Acudetox Therapy Can Help When You Feel Stuck
When your nervous system has been living in survival mode—whether from trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, or long-term emotional strain—it can be hard to access clarity, connection, or relief through insight alone. You may notice patterns like:
- feeling on edge or easily activated
- going numb, disconnected, or shut down
- struggling to sleep or “come down” after stress
- feeling flooded by emotion with little warning
Acudetox therapy can help create the conditions for more steadiness: calmer baseline, more tolerance for sensation and emotion, and less reactivity.
Acudetox Therapy as a Nonverbal, Nervous-System-Led Option
One of the reasons people are drawn to acudetox therapy is that it can be largely nonverbal. You don’t have to tell your whole story or find the right words for what happened. Instead, the focus is on supporting the body’s natural ability to regulate and restore balance—gently, over time.
What to Expect in an Acudetox Therapy Session
Your session is designed to be simple, supportive, and grounded.
- Brief check-in: we’ll ask what you’re noticing in your body and what support would feel helpful today.
- Comfortable setup: you’ll sit or rest quietly while the protocol is applied.
- Low-demand experience: many clients choose to speak very little (or not at all).
- Time to settle: you’ll have space to rest in stillness as your nervous system downshifts.
- Closing + next steps: we’ll check in again and discuss what support makes sense moving forward.

From Our Clients
“I was given Somatic Therapy Partner’s name by a friend who said she was experiencing rare and permanent shifts in her ability to self-regulate. During the table work I did with my therapist, it felt like I was dropping into depths of relaxation I could not reach on my own. Somehow I was able to let go of the need to monitor and manage.”
Acudetox Therapy FAQs
Many people use acudetox to support calm, stress relief, and nervous system regulation. Results vary by person and goals, and it’s often most effective when used as part of a broader care plan (for example, alongside somatic therapy or other trauma-informed support).
Acudetox treatment is a standardized ear acupuncture protocol where small needles are placed in specific points on each ear. You typically rest quietly during the session, and it can be a largely nonverbal, low-demand experience.
A session commonly lasts 30–45 minutes, though exact timing can vary by provider and setting. Some people feel calmer right away, while others notice benefits build with repeated sessions.
The five ear points commonly used are Sympathetic, Shen Men, Kidney, Liver, and Lung. Each point is traditionally associated with supporting regulation and emotional balance.
It depends on your nervous system, stress level, and goals. Some clients use it as short-term support during a high-stress season, while others benefit from a consistent rhythm alongside therapy for deeper, longer-term healing.
