Supplements for Addiction Treatment

B12 Injections ($75 Per Injection)

Vitamin B12 shots or injections are normally administered to treat a vitamin B12 deficiency, especially if a person’s body has trouble absorbing the vitamin. A deficiency in vitamin B12 can lead to various health problems, ranging from fatigue to permanent neurological changes.

B12 is a vitamin found in foods like meat, fish, and dairy products. It can also be made in laboratories and is normally taken to prevent or treat vitamin deficiency. Some conditions that are treated with vitamin B12 include Alzheimer’s, heart disease, diabetes, depression, asthma, osteoporosis, and substance use disorders.

B12 injections also: 

• Slow down memory loss
• Aid in sleep, weight loss, and reduce anxiety
• Improve the appearance of hair, skin, and nails
• Lower the risk of heart disease and other serious health concerns like certain cancers

Drug and alcohol addiction often leads to vitamin deficiencies, including deficiencies in B12. Addicts may eat too much or too little, binge on food late at night, or consume mostly sugars, carbs, and fats. Chronic alcoholism is also a direct cause of B12 deficiency, as gastrointestinal problems associated with heavy drinking make absorbing the vitamin difficult. Administering vitamin B12 shots for addiction treatment can treat anemia, peripheral neuropathy, and other physical ailments that may occur as a result of low B12 levels.

Chiropractic Health Services ($350 Per Session)

Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine centered on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system. In addition to these ailments, more evidence of chiropractic benefits for addiction treatment is coming out. Abnormalities in the spinal column are found to be directly related to unhealthy behaviors within the brain and nervous system, such as drug use. Therefore, a properly aligned spinal column can promote optimal brain function, contributing to a reduction in drug-taking behaviors and supporting recovery.

IV Drip Therapy ($250 Per Bag)

We also utilize IV drip therapy as an effective way to administer nutrients, vitamins, amino acids, and medications to the body. Similar to IVs you’d see in a medical setting – such as a hospital – our Palm Beach rehab offers IV drip therapy that administers supplements directly into the bloodstream, ensuring 100% absorption for maximum effect, minimal waste, and a speedier recovery.

Our IV drip menu offers options for “Immunity & Strength,” “Inner Beauty & Self-Love,” and “Myer’s Mocktail Detox Support.” The IV drip therapy benefits include improved physical and emotional wellness, reduced depression and anxiety, an enhanced immune system, mental clarity, and reduced withdrawal symptoms.

Massage and Acupuncture Therapy ($85 Per Session)

Acupuncture is a Chinese practice that’s been around for thousands of years. This practice controls various points of the body through the use of fine needles. It stabilizes the flow of energy in the body by encouraging systems like the cardiovascular, endocrine, immune, nervous, and digestive, ultimately producing positive effects. Research shows that acupuncture is highly effective in treating opioid use disorders along with other addictions.1 Alongside massage therapy, acupuncture also encourages dopamine production, which helps to reduce cravings in clients recovering from addictions to heroin, fentanyl, cocaine, meth, and other substances.

Other benefits of acupuncture and massage therapy include:  

• Controlled cravings
• Improved flow of chemicals in the body
• Pain relief
• Reduced withdrawal symptoms
• Relaxed mind and body
• Stress reduction

NAD+ IV Therapy ($385 Per Bag)

NAD, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is a naturally occurring coenzyme of niacin that helps cells in our bodies produce energy. It converts the energy we get from food into cellular energy. Administering lab-produced NAD boosts the levels of the chemical in a person’s body, or it may be administered to maintain these levels.

Often, NAD is depleted in people with addiction. This makes it more difficult for them to convert the energy that’s broken down from food and to absorb nutrients. It’s even speculated that people who naturally produce less NAD are more likely to develop a substance use disorder and even a co-occurring disorder. In addition to administering NAD through IV therapy, our facility also helps patients boost their NAD levels naturally through exercise.

In NAD + IV therapy, NAD is placed in an IV and slowly dripped into the bloodstream. This allows the substance to bypass the stomach and travel directly to the brain. This offers the individual a boost of energy, enhancing their mood and awareness.
