How Does Treatment Work?
Most treatment plans start with one or two sessions per week for two weeks. At that point we reassess and see if you can spread your treatments out. Many people are advised to try at least six to eight sessions before deciding whether it helps enough to continue.

Join The People's Organization of community acupuncture
(POCA) is a member-run non-profit organization whose mission is to work cooperatively to increase accessibility to and availability of affordable group acupuncture treatments. We envision a world in which every community has access to local, affordable acupuncture to reduce collective and individual suffering and to nurture resilience.
We acknowledge the debt we owe, as community acupuncturists, to the Young Lords and the Black Panthers, two groups challenging racism and oppression in the 1970’s who fought to bring affordable group acupuncture into their communities to address the scourge of addiction.
