Whatever your addictive substance, intravenous BR+NAD detox can help.

Alcohol

Doctor doing paperwork with patientAccording to the 2021 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 28.6 million adults ages 18 and older (11.3% in this age group) had Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) in 2021. AUD is a medical condition characterized by an impaired ability to stop or control alcohol use despite adverse social, occupational, or health consequences.

Alcohol use disorder can be mild, moderate, or severe, based on the number of symptoms you experience. The Mayo Clinic lists the following signs and symptoms of AUD:

  • Being unable to limit the amount of alcohol you drink
  • Wanting to cut down on how much you drink or making unsuccessful attempts to do so
  • Spending a lot of time drinking, getting alcohol or recovering from alcohol use
  • Feeling a strong craving or urge to drink alcohol
  • Failing to fulfill major obligations at work, school, or home due to repeated alcohol use
  • Continuing to drink alcohol even though you know it’s causing physical, social, work, or relationship problems
  • Giving up or reducing social and work activities and hobbies to use alcohol
  • Using alcohol in situations where it’s not safe, such as when driving or swimming
  • Developing a tolerance to alcohol so you need more to feel its effect or you have a reduced effect from the same amount
  • Experiencing withdrawal symptoms — such as nausea, sweating, and shaking — when you don’t drink, or drinking to avoid these symptoms

Considered a brain disorder, AUD can cause lasting changes in the brain. Alcohol abuse leads to a buildup of neurotoxic compounds and depletes our brains of the essential coenzyme Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+), which is important for cognitive functioning, DNA repair, cell signaling, fighting inflammation, and other critical physiological functions. At Springfield Wellness Center, we use a proprietary detoxification regimen called BR+ NAD™, which replenishes NAD+ and helps to restore the brain. (That’s what BR+ stands for, “Brain Restoration.”) Our detox process eases you through alcohol withdrawal with minimal discomfort while reducing or even eliminating cravings.

Our natural detox method lays the groundwork for sobriety and helps you to start a healthy and active lifestyle. Some of our patients get “the eraser effect,” and never think about drinking alcohol again. Others learn to avoid situations that “trigger” them, and also know that they can return for a booster any time they feel in danger of a relapse. In addition, our caring and compassionate therapists will also assist you in addressing any of the emotional or psychological issues that might have led to alcohol use in the past and will help you develop more effective strategies for managing life stresses. Together with BR+ NAD™, this holistic treatment of body, mind, and spirit can set you on the path to a lifetime of clarity and purpose. If you or a loved one need help in overcoming alcohol, call us at 844.334.4727. We’re here to help. 

Opioids

Man and doctor on park bench at a drug detox centerOpioids are often prescribed for pain management. Unfortunately, the compounds are highly addictive, and, as a result, users often become dependent in a short amount of time. Opioids alter brain chemistry and then reduce the body’s production of natural endorphins. This damages the brain over time and leads to both physical and psychological dependence. Detoxifying the body through conventional (“medically assisted”) detox programs and re-establishing its natural endorphin production system can take up to several weeks and be accompanied by difficult withdrawal symptoms. That’s why conventional detox programs often use replacement drugs, such as Methadone or Suboxone, both of which are long-acting opioids. Unfortunately, these drugs also cause physical dependence, delay natural endorphin production, and result in a longer period of withdrawal post-use.

In recent years, synthetic opioids, including fentanyl and isotonitazene, also known as “ISO,” have increased the addictive potential and lethality of street drugs. Both synthetics are 10 times more powerful than morphine, and when combined with heroin, become even more devastating. The drugs’ rapid potency induces such a powerful euphoria that users can forget to breathe. Emergency room physicians report patients unconscious with the needle still in their arm.

In contrast, our intravenous BR+ NAD™ detox program has the unique ability to assist individuals in their detoxification process in only 10 days–with minimal withdrawal symptoms or cravings. In addition, by giving the brain what it needs to heal, BR+NAD helps facilitate the restoration of the brain and body on a cellular level. That’s because your body uses NAD+ in hundreds of different processes, including cellular energy production, DNA repair, neuron protection and revitalization, and promotion of normal circadian rhythm for sleep. It serves a vital role in reducing inflammation and combating stress, which, unaddressed, plays an important role in perpetuating addiction.

Treating Opioid Addiction

Our prescribed treatment for opioid detoxification will vary depending on the individual’s health condition and type of opioid dependency. The short-acting opioids, including heroin, oxycodone, and the synthetics fentanyl and ISO, typically take 10 days of intravenous BR+ NAD™. The longer-acting opioids, such as methadone and suboxone, may take up to 10-15 days of treatment.

BR+ NAD™ is not a cure for opiate addiction and is most effective with mental health counseling and support. When searching for an opioid detox, consider us as your #1 natural opioid detox choice with intravenous BR+ NAD™.

Stimulants (Amphetamines, Cocaine, Adderall, Ritalin, etc.)

Doctors speaking at a drug detox centerStimulant drugs are compounds that speed up neuronal activity, or electronic signals in the brain. When abused, stimulant drugs can cause excessive stimulation (excitotoxicity) that leads to damaged nerve cells. Prescribed in low doses, prescription amphetamines are meant to treat ADHD, and sometimes Parkinson’s disease. Illegal, or street amphetamines are often consumed in much larger doses and result in exacerbated symptoms, such as rapid heartbeat, teeth grinding, reduced appetite, and increased energy.

Excessive stimulant use depletes the brain–and the entire body–of energy, and rapidly consumes its stores of NAD+. Our BR+ NAD™ detox increases the available energy in the cell, supports the regeneration of neurons that have been damaged, and aids in the repair of neurons and brain cells damaged from excitotoxicity. Call Springfield Wellness Center to schedule your intravenous BR+NAD™ stimulant detox.

Benzodiazepines

Benzodiazepines, often known as “benzos,” are for conditions such as anxiety, panic attacks, and epileptic seizures. Drugs such as Xanax, Valium, Klonopin, and Ativan bind to GABA receptors within the brain, reducing neuron excitability, or brain activity. Short-term, this can create a reduction in perceived stress, which often results in a euphoric feeling.

Although benzodiazepines are primarily for short-term use, many people develop a long-term dependency. However, due to the high risk of seizure, physicians attempt to taper down the benzodiazepine dose when someone wants to stop taking the drug. This process can take months, and people often complain of insomnia, high anxiety, sweating, muscle pains, and headaches.

Intravenous BR+ NAD™ has the unique ability to revitalize the brain by rebalancing the neurons and supporting cellular regeneration. This facilitates the body’s natural detoxification process and then assists in reducing the withdrawal period from benzodiazepines. BR+ NAD™ is not a cure for benzodiazepine dependencies and is most effective with mental health counseling and support. However, we have treated many patients with benzo dependency who are living healthy, happy, drug-free lives today. Contact a physician at Springfield Wellness Center to schedule you’re own benzo detox utilizing BR+ NAD™.

Psychotropic Substances

According to the National Alliance of Mental Health, millions of Americans deal with mental illness each year. These individuals often receive prescriptions for psychotropic drugs, which include, stimulants, antidepressants, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, and antianxiety agents. This classification includes both legally prescribed drugs, as well as illegal drugs, such as cocaine and MDMA.

Abusing psychotropic drugs or using illegal psychotropic street drugs can damage the brain and body permanently if used in high doses. NAD+ has the unique ability to restore brain healthy brain functioning and support neuronal health. NAD+ helps the cells produce energy and repair DNA. Some studies have suggested that NAD+ may help support stem cells, which facilitate the regeneration of damaged tissue. And the most effective form of NAD+ is intravenous BR+ NAD+™.

Individuals should consult the advice of a physician before discontinuing prescribed psychotropic medication. For those who no longer need their psychotropic medication, or those who use illegal psychotropics, BR+ NAD+™ is a great option to help rebalance the brain and body. BR+ NAD+™ is not a cure for addiction and is most effective with mental health counseling and support. Call Springfield Wellness Center to see how NAD+ therapy can help you.
