What is 5NP?

Included in SAMHSA’s National Registry of Evidence Based Programs and Practices, 5NP complements — rather than replaces — counseling, medication, and other treatment modalities. Five small, sterile needles — or ear seeds/beads — are placed into specific auricular points while clients sit quietly in a group setting for 30-45 minutes. Documented client benefits include better sleep, reduced anxiety & stress, relief from trauma & emotional dysregulation, and reduced cravings.
