Our holistic program embodies the legacy and practices of the Lincoln Detox movement in the South Bronx, founded by the Black Panther Party, Young Lords, and Mutulu Shakur with the Republic of New Afrika.
This movement pioneered acupuncture to support recovery and wellness for PWUD. We blend this legacy with the politics and practices of the Act Up movement of the 1980s, out of which grew the first harm reduction agencies.
This “unspoken treatment” as we call it, integrates with our other programs to nurture the mind, body, and spirit. In this calming and aromatic environment, acupuncture, acupressure, aromatherapy, cupping, sound baths, reiki, and meditation are used to address trauma, stress, anxiety, drug use, and overdose.
HOLISTIC SERVICES
