How Ketamine and NAD+ Can Help with Drug and Alcohol Addiction

Addiction is one of the most challenging conditions to treat, with traditional recovery methods showing success rates of only 30-50%. At Klarity Clinic, our innovative combination of ketamine therapy and BR+NAD treatment achieves over 90% success rates in addiction recovery. Here’s how this groundbreaking approach works.

Understanding Addiction at the Cellular Level

Addiction fundamentally changes your brain chemistry:

NAD+ depletion: Substance abuse dramatically reduces NAD+ levels
Neurotransmitter imbalance: Dopamine, serotonin, and other chemicals become dysregulated
Neural pathway disruption: Addiction creates powerful neural pathways that drive cravings
Cellular damage: Prolonged substance use damages cells throughout the body
Metabolic dysfunction: Normal energy production and cellular repair are impaired

Traditional recovery methods often address only the psychological and behavioral aspects of addiction, leaving the underlying cellular and neurochemical damage unresolved. This is why relapse rates are so high.

The Ketamine + NAD+ Solution

How NAD+ Therapy Addresses Addiction

BR+NAD (Brain Restoration Plus NAD) works at the cellular level:

Restores NAD+ levels: Rapidly replenishes depleted cellular energy
Reduces cravings: Often eliminates or dramatically reduces substance cravings within days
Accelerates detox: Speeds up the removal of toxins from your body
Repairs cellular damage: Supports DNA repair and cellular regeneration
Restores neurotransmitters: Helps rebalance brain chemistry naturally
Eases withdrawal: Significantly reduces withdrawal symptoms

Success metrics:

90%+ patients report dramatic reduction in cravings
70% reduction in withdrawal symptom severity
Accelerated detox timeline (often 50% faster)
Long-term success rates exceeding 90%

How Ketamine Therapy Enhances Recovery

Ketamine addresses the psychological and neural aspects:

Resets neural pathways: Disrupts the addictive thought patterns and behaviors
Treats co-occurring conditions: Addresses underlying depression, anxiety, or PTSD
Promotes neuroplasticity: Creates new, healthier neural connections
Provides rapid relief: Often works within hours, not weeks
Reduces relapse risk: Addresses root causes of addictive behavior

The Synergistic Effect

When combined, ketamine and NAD+ therapy create a powerful, comprehensive treatment:

Physical healing: NAD+ repairs cellular damage
Psychological healing: Ketamine addresses mental health and neural patterns
Holistic recovery: Both body and mind are treated simultaneously
Sustained results: Addresses root causes, not just symptoms
Rapid improvement: Patients often feel dramatically better within days
