What is Nad+ therapy
NAD+ (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) therapy has gained popularity in recent years. Aside from the benefits it offers as an anti-ageing therapy for maintaining optimal health, it also offers plenty of benefits for people in rehab and recovery.
NAD is a coenzyme that is present in all living cells. It plays a crucial role in energy production, DNA repair and cell signalling in the body. However, the ageing process causes a fall in NAD+ levels, which ultimately leads to cellular dysfunction and a range of potential health issues. The main purpose of NAD+ IV (intravenous) therapy is to replenish NAD levels and boost well-being.
InnerLife Recovery has recognised that this form of therapy can have very real benefits in supporting individuals in recovery. NAD+ IV therapy can help those in addiction recovery and those receiving mental health treatment. As part of our various treatment options, we administer NAD+ directly into the bloodstream to ensure maximum efficacy.
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 InnerLifeA 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 and replenishes the body’s essential nutrients 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?
NAD therapy varies in cost and is influenced by several factors, including the quality of ingredients, the location of the clinic and the personalised nature of the treatment.
NAD+ Costs in the UK & Spain
Prices for the therapy in the UK can range from around £250 to £1,000 per session. This price differential is accounted for by factors including the dosage (which can vary from 100mg to 1000mg), the inclusion of other beneficial nutrients like glutathione, plus the overall quality and personalisation of the therapy.
Costs are likely to be pretty similar in Spain based on location, clinic, and the treatment specifics. Treatments would be likely to range from a few hundred to over a thousand euros per session, depending on the complexity and duration of the therapy.
At InnerLife Recovery Nad+ IV Therapy is offered as part of a tailored treatment programme and is included in the residential treatment costs, so there will be no unexpected charges for you.
How is NAD+ administered at InnerLife Recovery Clinics
NAD+ injections and IV drips
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. A typical session would be expected to last between 30-40 minutes, with a dose of NAD+ slowly administered to the patient during the session.
Injections and drips are effective for delivery as the product goes straight into the bloodstream to make the dose immediately available to the cells. This gives these methods an advantage over oral supplements which lose a significant portion of their effectiveness as they are broken down in the digestive system..
The difference between NAD+ injections and IV drips
NAD+ IM (intramuscular) shots provide a more gradual increase in NAD+ levels and are a much more convenient way of administering the therapy. A NAD IV drip is a more invasive and slightly more time consuming option for those looking to benefit from NAD+ supplementation.
Are there any risks with NAD+ therapies?
While NAD+ IV therapy is generally considered safe, some individuals may experience mild side effects including:
- headaches
- nausea
- skin flushing
These side effects are usually short-lived and will subside as the body adjusts to the treatment. However, as with any medical treatment, it is essential for individuals to consult healthcare providers before starting therapy.
NAD+ therapy can be adopted as part of a complementary holistic health approach that includes a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management, all of which can bring health benefits and promote overall well-being and aid physical and mental performance. By supporting cellular repair, boosting normal metabolic function, and improving healthy brain function, NAD therapy holds potential for individuals looking to help their body maintain optimal performance or recover following an addiction.
