What is NAD+?

When someone begins the journey of recovery, their body is often depleted—physically, emotionally, and neurologically. That’s where NAD+ therapy comes in. At The Runway Recovery, we offer NAD+ as a supportive, restorative option to help clients feel clearer, stronger, and more grounded as they move through detox and early healing.

What Is NAD+?

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell of the body. It plays a key role in energy production, cellular repair, and brain function. Think of it as a kind of fuel—one that helps your body rebuild from the inside out.

During addiction, NAD+ levels can drop significantly. Substance use, stress, and poor nutrition all take a toll. Replenishing NAD+ helps restore balance, especially during detox when the body is working hard to heal.

How NAD+ Therapy Supports Recovery

At The Runway, NAD+ therapy is offered as part of a holistic, emotionally attuned treatment plan. Here’s how it helps:

  • Boosts Energy and Reduces Fatigue

  • Early recovery often comes with deep exhaustion. NAD+ helps recharge the body’s energy systems, making it easier to stay present and engaged in the healing process.

  • Supports Brain Function and Clarity

  • NAD+ plays a key role in cognitive health. It helps reduce brain fog, improve focus, and support emotional regulation—especially important during withdrawal and early therapy.

  • Aids in Detox and Cellular Repair

  • NAD+ helps flush out toxins and repair damaged cells. It’s a gentle way to support the body’s natural detox process without overwhelming it.

  • Eases Anxiety and Mood Swings

  • By supporting neurotransmitter function, NAD+ can help stabilize mood and reduce anxiety—creating a more emotionally steady foundation for recovery.

What NAD+ Therapy Looks Like at The Runway Recovery

  • Administered via IV in a calm, supportive setting

  • Sessions last 2–4 hours, depending on individual needs

  • Supervised by licensed medical staff

  • Paired with emotional support and hydration

Clients often describe NAD+ therapy as restorative—a quiet moment to reconnect with their body and begin feeling like themselves again.

Is NAD+ Right for You?

NAD+ isn’t a cure-all, but it’s a powerful tool for clients who feel depleted, foggy, or emotionally unstable during detox. At The Runway Recovery, we tailor every treatment to the person—not just the symptoms.

If you or someone you love is navigating addiction recovery, NAD+ may offer the boost you need to feel clearer, stronger, and more supported.
