What is Nad+ therapy
NAD+ (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) therapy has gained popularity. It offers plenty of benefits for people in rehab and recovery which we will explore on this page.
NAD is a coenzyme that is present in all living cells. It plays a very crucial role in bodily energy production, DNA repair and cell signalling. However, as we age, NAD+ levels within the body begin to decrease, which ultimately leads to cellular dysfunction and a range of health issues. The main goal of NAD+ IV (intravenous) therapy, then, is to replenish these levels and boost well-being.
InnerLife Recovery has recognised the benefits of this form of therapy in supporting individuals in recovery. NAD+ IV therapy is particularly beneficial in addiction recovery and mental health treatment. As part of our various treatment options, we administer NAD+ directly into the bloodstream to ensure maximum efficacy. If this is a form of therapy that intrigues you, feel free to take a look at the methods of administration section below.
What are the primary benefits of NAD+ therapy
The reason NAD+ is such a helpful tool in addiction recovery, is because it is very efficient in detoxifying the body from substances. It is also very powerful when it comes to reducing withdrawal symptoms and helping in the recovery of brain function after being damaged by substance use. Ultimately though, it enhances energy levels, improves mood and reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety. This makes it a great option for individuals looking to improve their health on multiple levels.
What sets InnerLife Recovery apart, is our use of this form of therapy alongside other treatment programs. We combine NAD+ with nutrition plans, meditation, yoga, cold water therapy and others, to support neuroplasticity and overall brain health. We want to address the mental and emotional parts of the individual, not just the physical.
Summary of primary benefits:
- Detoxifies harmful substances
- Extremely efficient at reducing withdrawal symptoms
- Recovers damaged brain function
- Enhances general energy levels
- Improves mood
- Reduces anxiety and depression symptoms
A statement from InnerLife Recovery about why we use NAD+ therapy
Biochemical restoration
At InnerLife Recovery, restoration is a very important word. We want our clients to understand that addiction is not just about behaviour. It also involves biochemical and neurochemical imbalances within the brain and body, which come from substance abuse. Our NAD+ therapy completely re-establishes this balance. It involves replenishing the body’s essential nutrients to be taken as part of a well-rounded therapy package.
Dopamine imbalance
When life gets a bit tough, our emotional well-being takes a toll. As a result, we’re often left a little restless, irritable, and easily distracted. During these periods, certain activities and substances become quite alluring. For some, this could be as simple as video games or shopping. For others though, darker things such as porn, hard drugs or alcohol abuse can become serious dangers. These things all contain dopamine – the neurotransmitter linked to pleasure and reward.
Ultimately, though, addiction is a lot more complex than this. We’ve created a page explaining why people get addicted to certain things.
Dopamine imbalances are something we are all susceptible to. For instance, another example of dopamine in everyday life is sugary foods. Plenty of otherwise healthy people find themselves drawn to these foods as a means of seeking relief from hard (or boring) days.
These choices often come with a cost. That cost could be:
- Destabilised blood sugar levels
- Heightened inflammation
- Turning to stronger substances
The reason people turn to stronger substances is because the initial high no longer does the trick, so people often seek out something with an extra “kick” to fulfil their now desensitised dopamine urges. It is a completely natural biological response.
So now, as a result of these cravings, we often have:
- Escalated cravings
- Enhanced anxiety levels
- Potentially deepened depression
- Disrupted sleep patterns
Each of these are a serious threat to general well-being. It can also be very difficult for individuals to get rid of these symptoms without help.
For that very reason, our team at InnerLife Recovery includes experienced professionals who specialise in NAD+ therapy among other types of therapies. We ensure safe and effective administration of these substances to get you back on your feet; healthy and clean.
How much does NAD+ IV therapy cost in the UK and Spain?
The administration of this therapy does vary in cost across the world. The cost is influenced by several factors, including the quality of ingredients, the location of the clinic and the personalised approach to treatment.
Costs in the UK and Spain
Prices in the UK can range from £250 to £1,000 per session. This range accounts for factors like the dosage of NAD+ administered (which can vary from 100mg to 1000mg), the inclusion of other nutrients like glutathione, and the overall quality of care and personalization of the therapy.
In Spain, the scenario is similar, with costs also varying based on location, clinic, and treatment specifics. The general trend in the European market for wellness and anti-ageing treatments suggests a range that could be comparable to that of the UK. Typically, in Spain, health and wellness treatments can range from a few hundred to over a thousand euros per session, depending on the complexity and duration of the therapy.
We strongly advise that you do your own research using the resources we provide at InnerLife Recovery.com before settling. However, do not hesitate to reach out to a member of the team and consult with us directly for accurate information on treatment options. We want you to make informed decisions based on your specific health and financial needs. At InnerLife Recovery Nad+ IV Therapy is offered as part of a tailored treatment program and is included in the residential treatment costs.
Methods of administration at InnerLife Recovery
NAD+ injections and IV drip
The process of NAD+ injection (Intramuscular shots) and IV drips can vary in duration and dosage depending on the individual’s health status and the specific goals of the treatment. Typically, a session may last between 30-40 minutes, during which a high dose of NAD+ is slowly administered to the patient.
The reason injections and drips are so beneficial is because injecting directly into the bloodstream bypasses the digestive system and makes the dose immediately available to the cells. It is far more efficient than oral supplements, which lose a big chunk of their potency through digestion.
The difference between injections and the IV drip
NAD+ IM (intramuscular) shots provide a more gradual increase in NAD+ levels. Compared to IV drips, IM shots may offer a convenient and less invasive option for those looking to benefit from NAD+ supplementation.
Safety and considerations
While NAD+ IV therapy is generally considered safe, some individuals may experience mild side effects such as headaches, nausea, and skin flushing. These effects usually subside as the body adjusts to the treatment.
However, as with any medical treatment, there are potential interactions with medications, making it essential for individuals to consult healthcare providers before starting therapy.
Adopting a holistic health approach that includes NAD+ therapy alongside a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management can optimise health benefits and promote overall well-being.
In conclusion, NAD+ IV drip therapy offers a fantastic complementary approach to enhancing health. By supporting cellular repair, boosting metabolic function, and improving brain health, this therapy holds potential for individuals looking to improve their quality of life.
