Good luck! I haven't tried for addiction, but tried acupuncture for pain and in the process they helped me with my moods and hormones, too. I was surprised how well it worked. I would say that I have seen three people, and had great success with 2 but not the third, so don't be afraid to try someone else if it doesn't help. If it's a specific treatment it probably won't matter as much, but for me it had to be tailored to multiple issues so I think it mattered what points they chose to put the needles.
