Do NAD+ treatments help with addiction/withdrawal?
Yes! The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reports that NAD+ has been used since the late 1960s to significantly lessen withdrawal from a variety of drugs and alcohol. Additional studies have shown that NAD+ can aid in the regeneration of opiate receptors, reducing cravings and softening the effects of withdrawals. Although NAD+ IV Therapy is NOT a cure for addiction, it is a natural therapy option that helps heal the brain on the cellular level and kickstarts recovery.
As a person abuses drugs and alcohol, their natural amount of NAD+ is depleted which can affect their brain’s addiction receptors. A healthy, properly functioning brain is one of the most important factors on the road to recovery. This can lead to reduced substance dependence and faster addiction recovery. Thus, allowing the person struggling with addiction to have a better chance at succeeding with recovery in the long term. NAD+ is especially useful for patients who want to avoid the side effects of medications undergoing addiction and recovery treatment.
How does it work?
- Flushes out all of the drugs that are still in the system and replaces essential vitamins and nutrients that are typically depleted in individuals who engage in substance abuse
- Reduces withdrawal symptoms, by binding to opiate receptors, which can be extremely difficult and uncomfortable to tolerate, even painful
- Curbs the cravings for alcohol and opioids
- Allows the body to produce energy more naturally without negative effects promoting total body wellness
- Protects the brain and accelerates recovery which can help individuals prevent the risk of relapse
