The global pandemic from 2019-2022 has affected the lives of humanity in myriad ways. One of the most profound effects has been the impact of mandates and lockdowns on mental health, resulting in a dramatic rise in substance and alcohol abuse.
Statistics from the CDC bear this out:
- From 2019 to 2020, deaths from drug overdose rose by 30%, from 70,630 to 93,665
- From 2020 to 2021, overdose deaths rose another 15%, from 93,665 to 107,622
- The overwhelming majority of overdose deaths were from synthetic opioids (primarily fentanyl), and methamphetamines
Despite the numerous programs and treatment options available to help people overcome their addictions to drugs and alcohol, withdrawal symptoms are often so brutal that patients would rather live with the addiction than undergo the cure.
Recently, numerous studies have confirmed that nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), an important coenzyme involved in multiple cellular processes, can dramatically reduce withdrawal symptoms, giving addicts new hope for full recovery.
NAD+ for Addiction Detox
According to a recent peer-review article, NAD+ IV therapy has been used for decades as an “off the record” treatment for various types of addiction. As a natural substance made by your own body, NAD+ does not have the negative side effects of therapeutics commonly used to treat addiction, many of which are addictive substances themselves.
NAD+ infusion therapy has been shown to promote complete withdrawal from addictive drugs, without the brutal side effects of substance withdrawal, including:

Although symptoms reach their worst peak within 36 to 72 hours, they can last for up to 10 days. Addicts often make multiple attempts to get clean, but are unable to weather the early symptoms of withdrawal.
NAD Alcohol Withdrawal
People often turn to alcohol as a form of self-treatment to cope with stress and anxiety. With global anxiety levels at all time highs during the pandemic, alcohol became a convenient, legal and accessible go-to for stress management. Statistics show that Americans increased their alcohol consumption by 60% during the pandemic lockdowns. In April 2020, in the first weeks of the lockdowns, alcohol sales increased by 234%.
More than 250 Americans die daily from excessive alcohol abuse, and among all drinking adults, 7% are classified as having alcohol use disorder (AUD). People with severe alcohol addiction struggle to stop or even slow down their drinking habits.
Withdrawal symptoms from alcohol abuse include
-
Severe headaches
-
Anxiety and mood swings
-
Shakes and tremors
-
Insomnia
-
Nausea
-
Racing pulse
-
Elevated blood pressure
-
Hyperthermia
-
Abnormal breathing
-
Seizures
-
Hallucinations
Symptoms can appear within hours of taking your last drink, and can last up to eight weeks, according to American Addiction Centers. Alcohol withdrawal symptoms can be just as severe as drug withdrawal. The most severe symptoms occur within the first three days.
NAD+ IV therapy can help ease alcohol withdrawal symptoms, to help you get past the harsh early stages of withdrawal. You may even want to kick off your NAD detox with an IV hangover cure cocktail, to diminish the severity of early withdrawal symptoms.

FDA Approved NAD Infusion Therapy
According to the FDA, IV NAD infusion therapy is the best solution currently available for drug treatment, especially heroin, prescription drugs, and post-acute withdrawal syndrome (PAWS).
FDA guidelines for NAD detox are as follows:
- NAD+ is considered inherently safe at doses up to 2 gm per day
- Treatment should be administered for 7-16 consecutive days, depending on patient history
- NAD+ is also effective for benzodiazepine withdrawal
The FDA notes that, when combined with amino acid complex IV therapy, NAD for addiction withdrawal is even more effective in suppressing withdrawal symptoms.
