IV NAD Therapy

How Does NAD Help Ease Withdrawal?

Chronic use of addictive substances depletes the body’s stores of NAD and impairs its production. This slows the activity of all brain cells, making them less able to send and receive signals from each other. Poor NAD levels are associated with brain fog, poor concentration, impaired memory, and poor mental focus. Low NAD is also correlated with several neurodegenerative disorders and dementia, such as Alzheimer’s.

NAD infusion therapy from Kinkaid Private Care improves a client’s levels of NAD. Increased NAD helps a person going through withdrawal in two ways: it restores a person’s energy levels to a more normal state on a cellular level, and it helps the brain return to its healthy, proper functioning. A person’s nervous system is heavily affected by addiction and withdrawal. All substances of abuse make harmful, persistent changes throughout the entire nervous system, particularly in the brain, but that’s not all. The brain demands more energy than any other organ system in the body, and if NAD levels are low, the effects on a person’s nervous system are severe.

Getting enough NAD is required for the production of dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine, neurotransmitters that are necessary for a stable mood, our ability to feel pleasure and manage pain, as well as creating memories and retrieving them. These neurotransmitters also control our circadian rhythm, our ability to focus and concentrate, as well as dozens of other critical body functions.

This means that aches, pains, and physical discomfort become more intense than they would at other times when the brain is full of NAD and can control perceptions correctly.

This means low NAD levels affect you in two ways: your cells have trouble carrying out the required chemical processes for survival, and your brain cells become much less capable of adjusting to the strain of withdrawal when NAD levels are low,

Withdrawal is a physical syndrome of symptoms that occurs when a person starts detoxification, commonly called detox. This is the process by which drugs of abuse leave a person’s body completely. When a person with addiction problems stops using a substance, their bodies, particularly their nervous systems react strongly. These reactions are part of withdrawal, and the most commonly abused substances produce the most pronounced symptoms.

Alcohol, opioid painkillers, heroin, and the benzodiazepine family of anti-anxiety medications, are all well-known for producing an uncomfortable, sometimes painful withdrawal.

Common withdrawal symptoms include:

Alcohol, painkillers, heroin, and benzodiazepines like alprazolam and diazepam will almost always produce some degree of withdrawal.

Why Do NAD Infusions Work?

Because IV NAD goes right into your bloodstream, you get 100% of the treatment with no waste. It all goes directly to your cells for maximum benefit, working faster and more effectively. Oral NAD pills or tablets must be digested and partially metabolized by your liver before it gets to your tissues, losing potency during the process.
