NAD+ therapy is an intravenous (IV) treatment that was originally popularized for its anti-aging benefits, but it has rapidly emerged as a highly effective and natural support option during drug and alcohol detox. This innovative therapy reduces withdrawal symptoms, eases drug cravings, boosts mental clarity, and restores energy by healing the body at the cellular level.
Detoxing from drugs and alcohol can be one of the most physically and mentally challenging stages of recovery. For many, the fear of painful or distressing withdrawal is enough to delay getting help. While traditional medications can assist during detox, they often carry risks or side effects. NAD+ therapy offers a natural, low-risk alternative that supports your brain and body through withdrawal—and beyond.
What Is NAD+?
NAD stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a coenzyme your body naturally produces. Its main job is to convert the energy from food and drinks into the cellular energy your body and brain need to function at their best.
NAD+ and its partner compound NADP are involved in over 400 enzymatic reactions in the body, many of which are crucial to neurological and cellular health. When administered intravenously, NAD+ can help restore healthy brain function, repair DNA, and strengthen neurological signaling.
What Happens During NAD+ Therapy?
NAD+ therapy involves a slow-drip IV infusion administered by a medical professional. During the session—usually lasting between 30 and 45 minutes—you’ll receive a concentrated dose of NAD+ directly into your bloodstream.
This therapy has shown promising results in addressing a wide variety of issues, including:
-
Substance use disorders (alcohol, opioids, and other drugs)
-
PTSD and trauma
-
Depression and anxiety
-
Neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s
-
Chronic fatigue
-
Age-related cognitive decline
Substance abuse significantly depletes your body’s natural stores of vitamins, minerals, and coenzymes like NAD+. By replenishing these stores through IV infusions, NAD+ therapy supports cell repair, neuron regeneration, and total-body healing.
Key Benefits of NAD+ Therapy During Detox
1. Reduces Withdrawal Symptoms
Withdrawal symptoms vary depending on the substance used and the severity of the addiction. They can include anything from mild flu-like symptoms to seizures, hallucinations, and suicidal thoughts.
Studies suggest that NAD+ therapy can significantly reduce the intensity of opioid and alcohol withdrawal symptoms without the adverse effects that often accompany pharmaceutical detox aids.
2. Promotes Natural Cell Regeneration
When your NAD+ levels are low, your cells struggle to convert food into usable energy. This results in fatigue, low mood, and brain fog. NAD+ infusions help restart your cells’ ability to generate energy and repair themselves. This speeds up your body’s healing during detox and helps flush substances from your system more efficiently.
3. Clears Brain Fog and Improves Cognitive Function
Brain fog—a common side effect of addiction and early recovery—can make it difficult to concentrate, remember things, or think clearly. NAD+ therapy improves mental clarity by stimulating brain cell regeneration and enhancing communication between neurons.
It’s even being explored as a cognitive support tool for individuals with Alzheimer’s and other forms of cognitive decline.
4. Boosts Natural Energy Levels
Fatigue is one of the most common and persistent symptoms during and after detox. NAD+ helps your body transform food into energy. Restoring your NAD+ levels can leave you feeling more alert, focused, and physically energized, making the early stages of recovery more manageable.
