At New Life Recovery Center, we treat patients for addiction with a proprietary IV formula of amino acids in a base of NAD+ developed by Dr. Hitt and Dr. Humiston, with extraordinary success. The combination therapy works synergistically and is crucial to achieving maximum benefit.

NAD+ Therapy can be used to treat the following addictions:

*Opiate and Synthetic Opiate Patients may also inquire about the NSS-2 Bridge device. The NSS-2 Bridge is worn behind the ear, and over the course of five days, it sends signals to the brain. It’s the first FDA-approved device for use in helping to reduce the symptoms of opioid withdrawal.

What can I expect during my NAD+ Infusion Therapy?

Each patient receiving treatment at New Life Recovery Center for NAD+ infusion therapy will first come for a complimentary evaluation by one of our highly trained clinicians. At this initial visit, we will gain insight into the patient’s condition. Next, we will build a patient-based treatment plan. NAD+ formula is customized to that treatment plan. Therapy needs to begin on a Monday and proceed for at least 5 consecutive days before any interruption. It is very important that patient does not interrupt treatment. An IV will be started early in the morning by one of our nursing staff. You will then be given a cocktail of IV fluids and vitamins prior to your therapy. This process takes about an hour. Once this is complete, the NAD IV has begun, it is slowly administered over the course of 6-8hrs. The prolonged exposure to specific amino acids combined with NAD+ bathes the damaged nervous system in an abundance of repair materials. The brain is then able to rapidly employ these natural materials to speed up healing, repair damaged neurons, and replenish depleted neurotransmitters. The total treatment time varies for each patient. A general course of addiction treatment is approximately 10 days (administered over 2 weeks). Longer treatments are sometimes required for more severe patients.

What results Can I expect?

NAD+ Infusion therapy assists neurological repair of the addicted brain. It is designed to rapidly assist the addicted brain in restoring neuro receptor function to normal levels. The patient’s cravings, anxiety, and depression are reduced or eliminated, once the body’s neuro receptor functions have been healed. This allows the physician to remediate any underlying conditions that may have led to the substance abuse to begin with. Mind, Mood, or Sleep altering substances damage the nervous system by artificially stimulating the neurotransmitter receptors. Constant stimulation will dull the receptors and cause a need to maintain the use of substances in order to feel normal. When one tapers off from a substance or stops completely, the receptors may heal with time, but that is often not the case. This may lead to symptoms such as anxiety, emptiness, brain fog, physical pain, depression, lack of motivation and/or insomnia. After completing NAD+ infusion therapy, patients report improved sleep, increased mental clarity, little to no cravings, elevated mood and boosted energy levels.

Brief NAD+ Infusion Therapy History

NAD+ infusion therapy was pioneered by Dr. William Hitt in the 1980s with 20 years of intensive research with thousands of patients. Dr. Humiston was trained by Dr. Hitt and has been treating patients with NAD+ since 2003. Dr. Humiston is an authority on NAD+ infusion therapy and has published the Clinicians’ Manual used to train other physicians on NAD+ therapy and continues to train other physicians on its use. We are proud to be personally trained and mentored by Dr. Humiston, a leader in the field.  

Research has been done using NAD+ and has been shown on SPECT brain scans performed at the Dr. Daniel Amen Clinics, in images taken before and after treatment, to bring about significant improvement in function in the damaged brain.
