Addiction recovery is a multi-step process that takes time and patience. IV NAD treatments can help mitigate withdrawal symptoms, promote cell regeneration, and restore brain function along your path to addiction recovery.
What is NAD?
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a coenzyme that your body naturally produces. This coenzyme is associated with restoring muscle function, improving brain regeneration, restoring your energy levels, and boosting your mood, to name a few benefits. The potentials of this coenzyme have barely been scratched. Research has already shown it can promote wellness from a cellular level by reversing mitochondrial damage and encouraging healthy cell growth.
Levels of NAD decline naturally with age, but external factors such as stress, sleep problems, environmental factors, and drug use can accelerate how quickly your body depletes its natural reserves.
NAD counteracts tissue damage, which is an especially valuable asset for individuals who are addicted to drugs because regular use of these substances can cause tissue damage. IV NAD infusions enables your body to restore its reserves of NAD and improve your overall health.
IV NAD is administered intravenously over the course of several weeks. Each treatment takes a minimum of four hours to deliver the benefits of this powerful coenzyme directly into your bloodstream. IV NAD not only flushes out toxins but ensures 100% absorption for maximum effect.
Signs and Symptoms of Drug Addiction
Addiction is a physical dependence on a drug, whether it’s prescription opiates, cigarettes, alcohol, or illicit substances. The signs and symptoms of drug addiction vary depending on the substance used, but certain symptoms do overlap.
If you think a friend or loved one might have an addiction, be aware of any changes in their mood or habits.
Signs and symptoms of drug addiction include:
- Erratic/Violent behavior
- Loss of interest in daily normal activities
- Depression
- Lack of interest in family or friends
- Anxiety
- Inability to control urges to take the drug or drink
- Cravings or preoccupation with the substance
- Mood changes or mood swings
If you or someone you know has an addiction to a drug, you may be wondering to do next. Typically, people who want to kick an addiction will sign up for a drug rehab program.

How IV NAD Treatments Can Help with Successful Addiction Recovery
There are many types of drug rehabilitation programs. Some of these options require you to take several weeks out of your life to attend an off-site location while others can be completed without leaving town.
The first step in any drug rehab is to wean your body off its dependence to the drug in question, whether it’s alcohol, cocaine, opiates, or something else. Delivery IV NAD combats addiction at the cellular level by repairing damaged DNA and blocking opiate receptors, both of which are crucial elements towards getting past the symptoms of withdrawal. IV NAD flushes out the toxins in your body, whether these toxins were caused by environmental factors or drug use, accelerating how quickly your body can start repairing itself.
Navigating the withdrawal stage is a crucial element of the drug rehabilitation process because the symptoms of withdrawal are intense. Many people never make it past this step.
The exact symptoms of withdrawal depend on the individual as well as the type of drug used, but generally include the following:
- Anxiety
- Chills
- Cravings
- Nausea
- Muscle cramps
- Muscle weakness
- Sweating
- Tremors
The symptoms of withdrawal are typically the most intense 72 hours after the last dose or administration of the drug. After that, your body begins to recover from its reliance on the drug. As time goes on, withdrawal symptoms become less intense. The symptoms of withdrawal may take ten or more days to fully subside. That’s why NAD is a valuable asset in your journey to recovery. NAD can mitigate the symptoms of withdrawal and, in some cases, shorten the overall duration of your withdrawal.
Once you have successfully made it past the withdrawal stage, you can fully focus on your drug rehabilitation plan. Continued IV NAD treatments can further detoxify your body, improve your cognition, and restore your brain function to help repair damage caused by drug addiction.
In addition to helping you navigate withdrawals, IV NAD also promotes brain regeneration, repairing damaged neurotransmitters, which can improve both cognition and brain function. NAD treatments can help lift the ‘brain fog’ accompanied by long-term drug use so you can not only feel great, but think clearly too.

Why is Delivery IV NAD Right for Addiction Recovery?
Drug rehabilitation is a journey, not a quick fix. Most drug rehabilitation programs will include therapy and counseling. They will also help identify and recognize your triggers, as well as develop a plan for you to avoid or manage these triggers to prevent relapse.
When you’re going to drug rehab sessions, you’re already busy enough. That’s where delivery IV NAD treatments come in. Drip Hydration brings IV NAD appointments directly to you, offering a discreet and private supplement to your drug rehabilitation program. You will save yourself the time and hassle of traveling to multiple appointments, and you won’t have to compromise the quality or benefits of NAD for drug addiction.
NAD treatments typically take longer than the average IV, usually taking between two to four hours to administer per session. Because a full course of NAD takes several weeks, regular home treatments are an ideal way to integrate IV appointments into your busy schedule.
