A Wellness/Stress Relief/PTSD/Sobriety Support clinic specifi cally for:

• Those who are CURRENTLY ENROLLED in an ADDICTION RECOVERY program The Sunshine Factory is a new and


very unique studio, the only one in the area, offering classes and events that combine yoga and meditation with Eastern Medicine. They are now offering a Free/Donation Based Acupuncture Clinic for Veterans, Active Military Personnel and those who are currently enrolled in an Addiction Recovery Program on Wednesdays from 5:30-7:00pm (must arrive by 5:45pm to receive treatment).


They chose to offer this clinic for this particular group of people for the following reasons:


STRESS RELIEF: Acupuncture acts like physical therapy for the


nervous system. That is why such a large majority of patients expe- rience stress relief after each and every treatment.


PTSD: Acupuncture can treat PTSD by harmonizing the under- lying energetic imbalances that cause the condition. Acupuncture works by regulating the fl ow of Qi or life force in the body. In the case of PTSD, one’s life force/vital energy have become chaotic, disturbed, or grossly inconsistent. Acupuncture is a powerful way to settle such energetic disturbances and return the body and mind to a state of balance and peace.


ADDICTION RECOVERY: When combined with other forms of treatment, such as individual therapy, group counseling, and support groups, it can benefi t those suffering from a substance ad- diction.
