Recovery from addiction is a physically and psychologically brutal process, partly because drug and alcohol abuse has been shown to deplete NAD+ levels. Inadequate amounts of NAD+ make it harder to convert energy broken down from food. There has even been speculation that people who naturally produce less NAD+ may be more likely to develop substance abuse disorders. Although NAD+ Therapy is by no means a cure for addiction, it can assist with a number of the processes involved in addiction recovery. It can help flush remaining drugs from the system, mitigate the painful effects of withdrawals, and reduce cravings for alcohol and drugs. NAD+ Therapy can even help the body produce more energy naturally, but without the negative side effects of substances like caffeine or sugar. If you’re interested in exploring NAD+ Therapy as part of a holistic addiction recovery program, talk with your doctor. It can be a useful addition to a complete program of recovery.
