Addiction & Recovery

The NADA protocol was born in addiction care. Acudetox offers gentle, judgement-free support through withdrawal and recovery, always alongside your own journey and care team.

Steady support through the hardest parts.

The five-point protocol Leonie uses was developed in the 1970s specifically to support people through addiction and withdrawal. It’s used in rehabilitation programmes worldwide because it’s calming, non-invasive, and asks nothing of you but to sit and rest.

It isn’t a treatment for addiction on its own, and it doesn’t replace counselling, medical care or a recovery programme. It sits alongside them, helping ease the restlessness, cravings and overwhelm that make recovery so hard.

Common questions.

No, it’s a complementary support. It works alongside counselling, medical care and recovery programmes, not instead of them.

No, but acudetox is most helpful as one part of a wider recovery plan. Leonie is happy to talk about how it fits.

Absolutely. Sessions are private, calm and free of any judgement.

A calmer way through recovery.
