Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, or NAD+, is the active enzyme form of Vitamin B3 (niacin). This is a key enzyme in cell function and energy production as well as a neurotransmitter function and production. There is some evidence it acts directly as a neurotransmitter as well. In the process of addiction, the brain is depleted of neurotransmitters and neuronal dysfunction persists. This leads to the endless cycle of use and deterioration of day-to-day function. At this stage, the brain is largely incapable of participating in recovery or fighting substance abuse and abuse behaviors.
Basically, as we age our NAD levels in the cells drop. Improving this intracellular level of NAD strengthens cells and prevents damage and further deterioration. And according to TIME magazine, we couldn’t get any closer to the fountain of youth.
Much like addiction, the chronic feeling of anxiety, stress from PTSD and burn-out from working long hours day after day affects the brain. This depletes the parts of the brain responsible for regulating emotions and controlling focus. Boosting NAD through IV infusion helps restore these parts of the brain improving focus and aiding in restoring function to the emotional control part of the brain.
NAD Therapy can provide help for:
NAD is given as a high-dose infusion protocol. IV infusion boosts serum levels far above oral supplementation. NAD+ stimulates the part of the brain greatly depressed by addiction and quickly restores function.
This decreases cravings and withdrawal symptoms and boosts brain function to better allow involvement in counseling and other therapies.
NAD+ is best used in conjunction with a comprehensive treatment program and we can refer you if needed.
Our NAD+ compounds come from a highly reputable experienced pharmacy. They are combined with other high dose amino acids in custom packages dependent on the main drug/type of addiction. We will combine this with infusions of our specialized Vitamin infusion, Hydrate Recovery, which contains vitamins, minerals and amino acids to continue to aid brain recovery and boost health and energy in the process.
We offer three types of NAD+ Treatments:
For every type of treatment, we take a personalized approach to help customize your treatment and get the most out of it. NAD+ can also be combined with ketamine therapy to calm the nervous system before starting ketamine infusions.
You’ll be in a comfortable room in our spa-like clinic under the care and supervision of an experienced RN extensively trained in NAD+ administration.
For addiction therapy, treatment will continue for 10 full days and is needed for long-term healing and recovery. Certain clients with Benzo use history may have a particularly bad day around 4 or 5 feeling anxious and that treatment is not working. This is a common part of your brain healing. Hang in there and continue treatment.
