RISE program brings ear acupuncture as a community support to southern New Mexico
This month, the Lincoln County Detention Center’s new RISE (Reach, Intervene, Support and Engage) program will launch a new group-based ear acupuncture program known as acudetox.
Everyone in the community is invited to come to receive a free demonstration of this type of community support on July 21, 22 and July 23. These types of sessions are very relaxing. After needles are placed, you will be able to rest for 30 minutes alongside others in your community. No appointment is necessary.
We will have licensed acupuncture providers and Doctors available to answer your questions about acupuncture and acudetox.
This form of care is offered as an adjunctive support for stress, addictions care and prevention, and has been well-integrated into correctional settings, drug courts, jails, hospitals and detox/recovery programs. RISE will be working within jails in Carrizozo and Truth or Consequences and in collaboration with local drug courts and Indian Health Services serving RISE clients.
