At The Sanctuary at Sedona, we work to create the optimal treatment experience for our clients. By blending science-based methods with holistic integrative therapies, we help you heal — body, mind, soul and spirit. IV drip therapies are a recent addition to the field of mental and emotional health issues as well as addiction recovery.
NAD+ therapy is an innovative treatment that helps prepare your body for the recovery process by supplementing this naturally produced enzyme directly into your bloodstream, thus boosting its naturally restorative properties. All NAD+ therapy treatments are offered through our licensed on-campus medical clinic.
At the heart of our clinical approach is NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide), a naturally occurring coenzyme essential for cellular energy and brain health. While addiction, trauma, and chronic stress physically deplete these vital stores, our targeted IV protocols rapidly replenish them to prepare your body and mind for deep healing.
By delivering high-quality NAD+ intravenously at our licensed on-campus clinic, we bypass the digestive system for maximum absorption. This specialized therapy acts as a biological catalyst to:
Reduce Acute Symptoms: Gently ease post-acute withdrawal, cravings, and the “fog” of depression or PTSD.
Restore Cognitive Clarity: Sharpen mental focus and repair DNA to improve communication between brain cells.
Regulate the Nervous System: Stabilize sleep patterns and natural energy levels, providing a grounded physical foundation.
Deepen the Treatment Experience: By feeling better physically and mentally, you are empowered to engage more deeply with your clinical and spiritual work.
NAD+ IV therapy is an optional IV therapy and is an add on to the 30-day residential program. We use only the highest-grade NAD+ sourced from pioneering pharmacies to ensure your recovery is supported by the most effective neuro-metabolic tools available.
The NAD+ Therapy process is very simple, and many clients find it relaxing. When you undergo NAD+ Therapy at The Sanctuary, it will involve the following steps:
Your experience begins with a conversation about your current recovery goals and symptoms. We discuss how NAD+ works within your unique biological framework to restore cognitive function and emotional balance.
To ensure the highest standard of care, our medical staff reviews your health history and treatment needs.
A qualified member of our clinical team will administer the treatment in a relaxing environment. Because NAD+ is most effective when delivered at a personalized pace, we monitor your comfort throughout the slow-drip process, allowing you to rest as the molecule begins its work of neuro-restoration and DNA repair.
NAD+ is growing in popularity and becoming increasingly available. Taking NAD+ intravenously is ideal, as this is the most efficient way for your body to absorb it. We offer this in our licensed on campus clinic. The delivery system and optimal dosage of NAD+ is vital for its efficacy. We use the highest quality NAD+ sourced from the compound pharmacy recommended by one of the pioneers of NAD+ therapy in the United States, Dr. Richard Mestayer.
What makes NAD+ therapy at The Sanctuary different is the way it’s integrated into our holistic treatment program. Our clients benefit from:
The transformative power of our program comes from how NAD+ works in harmony with our other clinical and holistic pillars to support neuroplasticity and cellular repair:
Our program is designed to be synergistic. NAD+ therapy is the tool that “primes” your brain, clearing the mental fog and stabilizing your physical energy. This creates the necessary clarity for you to progress deeply through the mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of your journey, allowing for a level of healing that lasts long after you leave the Sanctuary.
The coenzyme contained in the NAD+ IV therapy drip is central to your body’s metabolic processes, making it a key player in the work to help repair and regulate other cellular functions. Our IV NAD+ treatments deliver these incredible benefits directly into your bloodstream. Unlike oral supplements, which aren’t always fully absorbed, NAD+ IV therapy bypasses your digestive system. That means complete absorption and optimal effectiveness.
Whether you’re struggling with addiction and going through detox or you want to improve your emotional outlook and find relief from mental health symptoms, here are some NAD+ therapies available at The Sanctuary.
Drug and alcohol use depletes your body’s natural NAD+ supply. And as a result, it’s not able to convert food into energy as efficiently, making you feel fatigued and undernourished. Supplementing your NAD+ levels helps reduce withdrawal symptoms and eases pain and inflammation from substance abuse. This both aids your initial detox process and helps restore you to optimum health.
Detox can make you feel like your body is fighting itself. The initial process of getting drugs or alcohol out of your system is characterized by extreme discomfort and often overwhelming withdrawal symptoms. NAD+ therapy can help see you through the detox process in a few ways.
These include:
It’s important to note that NAD+ is meant to complement the detox process and is not a stand-alone detox method. And with or without NAD+, detox is only a preliminary step. This should be followed up with comprehensive addiction treatment for full and lasting recovery.
Many people with alcohol addiction find NAD+ to be very helpful in curbing their cravings. There’s also a link between lower NAD+ levels and the development of alcohol addiction. Research shows that people with less naturally occurring NAD+ may be more likely to experience addictions and co-occurring mental health disorders.
NAD+ improves symptoms of depression. That’s because it reduces the cellular damage caused by free radicals in your body, which contributes to depressive symptoms. It also aids the removal of toxic metals from your body, which are linked to depression. And in addition to relieving your symptoms, it helps your body heal from the long-term effects of depression, which can include pain sensitivity, digestive issues and cardiovascular risks.
Trauma and PTSD force us into a constant state of fight-or-flight. When we’re in this state, our body is unable to fully absorb nutrients and new information. NAD+ helps with:
Anxiety also depletes your body’s natural stores of NAD+. Replenishing them intravenously supports your nervous system during treatment and promotes healthy brain function. It also helps repair the cellular damage caused by being in a constant state of stress. NAD+ therapy works in conjunction with other clinical and holistic therapies offered at The Sanctuary to restore your entire system to balance.
NAD+ Therapy
Your body produces NAD+ on its own, and NAD+ IV therapy is considered safe for regular use. Many people take NAD+ for its natural health benefits, even when they’re not treating an addiction or mental health issue.
As with all therapies offered at The Sanctuary, our IV drips are conducted under rigorous clinical supervision. Our program undergoes frequent quality assurance reviews and complies with the guidelines of our governing health authorities.
