It works by targeting specific brain receptors and raising levels of glutamate, a chemical that helps with brain function and mood. In small doses, ketamine provides quick relief from PTSD symptoms like flashbacks, nightmares, and emotional numbness. It’s especially helpful for those who haven’t found success with other treatments. Many people feel calmer and more in control after just one session, and the positive effects can last for up to two weeks. Benefits Ketamine does more than just treat PTSD. It helps with depression, anxiety, and even bipolar disorder. By reducing inflammation in the brain and increasing serotonin levels, ketamine improves mood, reduces panic attacks, and helps people feel less trapped by fear and distress. The therapy even supports the repair of damaged brain pathways, making it easier for the brain to communicate effectively. This means fewer episodes of intense emotions and more stability in daily life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621816e088c2871cc2a09808/0109989c-09c4-41e6-acb9-f5aa9bd6ba68/Untitled+design+-+2024-11-08T033745.691.png Anxiety/PTSD - Understanding PTSD and Trauma PTSD is more common than many people realize: approximately 5% of adults in the United States, or approximately 13 million people, live with it as of 2023. And women are more likely to develop this disorder than men. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) occurs in people after experiencing something shocking, frightening, or dangerous. Although it is normal to feel afraid or stressed during and after a traumatic event, PTSD occurs when these feelings do not fade and interfere with daily life. Common Symptoms of PTSD Flashbacks of nightmares of the accident Avoiding places/things/situations that remind of trauma Having negative mood and thoughts Nervousness Trauma doesn’t just affect someone mentally—it impacts physical and emotional health, too. Many people with PTSD feel tense, struggle with anger or irritability, and find it difficult to go to work, maintain relationships, or even get a good night's sleep. Emotionally, trauma can cause feelings of isolation, fear, or guilt, making it tough to connect with others even with spouses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621816e088c2871cc2a09808/f75b126b-629f-4acf-9a4b-ee54e4962e0a/Untitled+design+-+2024-11-08T034149.053.png Anxiety/PTSD - Personalized Treatment Plans Individualized care is important because mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, or PTSD affect people in different ways.

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has also dramatically increased the rate of anxiety among people. Anxiety can have a profound effect on a person’s daily life and overall mood. Often this is due to an overactive "fight-flight" response from the nervous system, designed to help us deal with danger. However, when this response is too strong or too weak, a lot of problems can be triggered. People with anxiety always have a high fight-and-flight mode, even in resting situations. This state of continuous alertness causes a lot of issues like a racing heart, shortness of breath, and digestive issues, all of which significantly affect the person's quality of life https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621816e088c2871cc2a09808/2e0c5d52-4331-43f3-b3eb-16b7990793d7/Untitled+design+-+2024-12-11T013547.609.png Stellate Ganglion Block Anxiety - Anxiety symptoms can vary, but typically include: • Fear of getting hurt • Confusion • Fast heartbeat • Shortness of breath • Chest pain • Sweating • Nausea • Trembling • Pacing • Hyperventilating • Nervousness • Frustration https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621816e088c2871cc2a09808/1bbeac8f-c790-40ce-b277-8a9d211da777/Untitled+design+%2830%29.jpg Stellate Ganglion Block Anxiety - What is Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB)? Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) is a treatment method in which specific nerves in the lower part of your neck are numbed. These nerves, called the stellate ganglion nerves, play an important role in transmitting stress signals to the brain and body and controlling many automatic body functions like heart rate, breathing, and sweating. When you have anxiety, your nerves become locked in a constant "fight-or-flight" mode, generating distress signals even when there is no real threat. SGB works by temporarily blocking and restoring these nerves. This reduces chronic stress symptoms and provides long-term relief from symptoms of anxiety and PTSD. Research has proved that SGB is a safe and effective approach for treating anxiety. Many patients in clinical trials receiving SGB injections significantly improved their anxiety levels, as measured by the GAD-7 score, a tool commonly used to measure the severity of generalized anxiety disorder. Also, their therapeutic benefit lasted at least one month after the injection. In addition, studies have shown that injections on both sides of the stellate duct nerve are more effective than injections on only one side. This approach has shown great promise in anxiety disorders, including phobias, panic attacks, and social anxiety. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621816e088c2871cc2a09808/798887a3-39ab-4176-a680-095533d2455b/Untitled+design+%2829%29.jpg Stellate Ganglion Block Anxiety - Traditional Treatment Options for Anxiety Anxiety is treated through a combination of therapies and medication. One of the most common therapies is cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps people to understand and positively modify their patterns and behaviors. On the other hand, common medications used are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). Many people benefit from these treatments, while others experience no reduction in anxiety symptoms or severe side effects. For such people, new treatments such as Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) for anxiety are showing promising results. This technique involves relaxing specific muscles to restore the nervous system and alleviate symptoms of anxiety so they can regain normalcy in their lives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621816e088c2871cc2a09808/11f0389e-322c-4b63-b925-ad7b2ac1de8d/Untitled+design+%289%29.png Stellate Ganglion Block Anxiety - Who Can Benefit from SGB for Anxiety?

This innovative therapy involves the administration of a low dose of ketamine through an intravenous infusion. Ketamine, originally developed as an anesthetic, has shown promising results in the treatment of various mental health disorders, providing new hope for individuals seeking effective solutions. Unlike traditional psychiatric medications that can take weeks or even months to show results, ketamine infusion therapy is known for its rapid and transformative effects. It works by targeting specific receptors in the brain, helping to alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other mental health conditions, making it one of the reasons ketamine is one of the most talked-about treatments in psychiatric care. Individuals in Los Angeles seeking mental health treatment can benefit from ketamine infusion therapy, both as a stand-alone treatment option or as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. This therapy not only provides relief from debilitating symptoms but also offers the potential for long-lasting improvements in mental wellness - being especially effective for patients who have not responded to other treatments. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621816e088c2871cc2a09808/387bb8e2-4801-4fdd-949e-4d36d18be68d/jared-rice-NTyBbu66_SI-unsplash.jpeg A Guide to Transformative Care - The Benefits of Ketamine Infusion Therapy Ketamine infusion therapy offers a range of potential benefits for individuals seeking mental health treatment in Los Angeles, especially when integrated with personalized treatment approaches like TMS. As a rapidly emerging treatment option, ketamine infusion therapy has gained recognition for its effectiveness in providing relief for a variety of mental health conditions. One of the primary advantages of ketamine infusion therapy is its fast-acting nature, offering hope to patients who have not responded to other treatments. Unlike traditional antidepressant medications that can take weeks to show results, ketamine infusion therapy often produces noticeable improvements within hours or days. This quick response time can be particularly beneficial for individuals struggling with severe depression, anxiety, or other mental health conditions that require immediate relief. “The speed at which ketamine infusion therapy can alleviate symptoms is truly remarkable. I've seen patients who have struggled for years find relief within just a few treatment sessions. It's like a ray of hope in their darkest moments.” - Dr. Devin Tang, MD Another significant benefit of ketamine infusion therapy is its efficacy in treating treatment-resistant depression. Approximately one-third of individuals with depression do not respond to traditional antidepressant medications. Ketamine infusion therapy offers a promising alternative for these individuals, providing them with a renewed chance for recovery. Relief from severe depression symptoms is possible through a single treatment session with ketamine. Reduction in anxiety and panic attacks Improved mood and overall sense of well-being as reported by patients receiving IV ketamine infusion treatment for depression at our clinic. Enhanced cognitive function and mental clarity Decreased suicidal thoughts Moreover, ketamine infusion therapy has shown promise in addressing other mental health conditions, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), bipolar disorder, and chronic pain. It is important to note that while ketamine infusion therapy offers significant benefits, it should always be administered under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional in a reputable clinic. A skilled medical team can tailor the treatment to each individual's specific needs, ensuring safety and optimal results. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621816e088c2871cc2a09808/e020829c-84f1-4548-a6f9-20984c74f8be/The-best-ketamine-infusion-clinic.jpeg A Guide to Transformative Care - How Does Ketamine Infusion Therapy Work? Ketamine, when administered through an intravenous (iv) infusion, interacts with certain receptors in the brain, such as the NMDA receptor, suggesting its utility in treatments like ketamine for depression. This interaction leads to molecular and cellular changes that have a positive impact on the brain's neural circuits. It helps restore proper functioning, rebalancing neurotransmitters and promoting the growth of new nerve connections, effectively treating the whole person. Furthermore, ketamine infusion therapy has been found to activate the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein crucial for the growth and maintenance of neurons. The increase in BDNF levels can enhance neuroplasticity, allowing the brain to adapt and rewire itself, leading to improved mood, cognitive function, and overall mental well-being, effectively treating patients who have not responded to standard treatments. The length and dosage of ketamine infusion therapy sessions in Los Angeles may vary depending on individual needs and the severity of the condition being treated, with some requiring weeks of treatment.

A specialized ketamine infusion specialist will guide you through the entire procedure, ensuring your safety and comfort every step of the way. The ketamine infusion therapy process typically involves the following steps, incorporating medication management and transcranial magnetic stimulation as part of a holistic treatment plan. Initial Consultation: Before starting the treatment, you will have an initial consultation with a ketamine infusion specialist at our Los Angeles clinic to discuss the potential benefits of an initial infusion series for patients with depression. They will review your medical history and assess your suitability for ketamine infusion therapy, with a focus on how it can aid patients with depression. This consultation is an opportunity for you to ask questions and discuss any concerns you may have. Preparation: On the day of your infusion session, you will be asked to arrive well-rested and avoid consuming any solid food for at least six hours beforehand. You may be advised to continue taking any prescribed medications as usual, unless instructed otherwise by your healthcare provider, especially in the context of IV ketamine infusion treatment. Treatment Session: Once you are ready, a ketamine infusion specialist will administer the medication intravenously. The infusion is typically done in a relaxing and comfortable environment, where you can sit or lie down during the session. The duration of each infusion session may vary, but it typically lasts around 40 minutes to one hour. Monitoring: Throughout the one infusion session, the ketamine infusion specialist will closely monitor your vital signs, including heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels. This continuous monitoring ensures your safety and allows for immediate intervention if necessary. Recovery: After the completion of the infusion, you will be observed in a recovery area for a short period. This allows the ketamine infusion specialist to ensure that you are stable and ready to leave the clinic, marking you as a good candidate for ketamine treatment, with each infusion tailored for patient safety and comfort. The recovery time may vary depending on individual response and the specific protocol used by the clinic, including factors like whether it's given intravenously or delivered through an IV. "The ketamine infusion therapy process involves an initial consultation, preparation, the treatment session itself, continuous monitoring, and a short recovery period." - Dr. Henry Liang, DO It's important to note that the number of treatment sessions required may vary depending on your specific condition and response to ketamine infusion therapy. Your ketamine infusion specialist will determine the appropriate treatment plan to meet your individual needs. Overall, ketamine infusion therapy offers a promising and innovative approach to mental health treatment. By understanding the process and having the guidance of a skilled ketamine infusion specialist, you can embark on a journey toward improved well-being and a brighter future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621816e088c2871cc2a09808/756218bd-7f14-499b-a8bb-acee79b73cfd/anthony-tran-vXymirxr5ac-unsplash.jpeg A Guide to Transformative Care - Psychological Side Effects Ketamine infusion therapy, including receiving ketamine intravenously, can sometimes lead to temporary psychological side effects.

Some individuals may experience feelings of confusion or disorientation during or after the ketamine infusion. Hallucinations: In some cases, individuals may have visual or auditory hallucinations during the treatment. These hallucinations are typically short-lived.

This is closely monitored during the treatment sessions to ensure safety. Dizziness or lightheadedness: a common side effect that patients should be aware of during every infusion. It is common for individuals to experience feelings of dizziness or lightheadedness after the infusion. This typically resolves on its own. It is important to note that these side effects are generally temporary and well-managed by healthcare professionals who specialize in ketamine infusion therapy. The side effects typically subside as the medication leaves the system. "While ketamine infusion therapy can have side effects, it's important to weigh these against the potential benefits and consult with a knowledgeable healthcare professional to determine if this treatment is right for you." - Dr. Devin Tang, MD By closely monitoring patients and adjusting the dosage as needed, healthcare providers can help mitigate and manage any side effects that may arise during ketamine infusion therapy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621816e088c2871cc2a09808/4f517ade-d8a7-46cd-9d27-3f9be9cc0e35/nik-shuliahin-BuNWp1bL0nc-unsplash.jpeg A Guide to Transformative Care - Who Can Benefit from Ketamine Infusion Therapy?

Affordability should not be a barrier to accessing the potential benefits of ketamine infusion therapy. With careful research and consideration, individuals in Los Angeles can find cost-effective solutions that meet their needs.

While the process itself is straightforward, taking some steps beforehand can help ensure a positive and effective experience, especially for patients undergoing infusions for mood disorders.

This knowledge will help you mentally prepare and minimize any anxiety or apprehension you may have, ensuring you feel very comfortable throughout the process. Arranging Transportation and Support Ketamine infusion therapy can cause drowsiness and mild disorientation. It is advisable to arrange transportation to and from the clinic on treatment days, as driving may not be safe immediately after a session. Additionally, having a trusted friend or family member accompany you during the treatment can provide comfort and support. Managing Your Schedule Ketamine infusion therapy typically requires a series of sessions over a designated period. It is essential to plan your schedule accordingly and make necessary adjustments to accommodate the treatment sessions.

While ketamine infusion therapy remains the most widely recognized form, there are additional modalities worth exploring, such as at-home ketamine and ketamine nasal spray. One such option is intranasal ketamine, where a nasal spray is administered under the supervision of a healthcare professional. This method allows for self-administration, providing convenience for patients who prefer a less invasive approach. Intranasal ketamine has shown promise in treating depression and acute pain, offering an alternative to infusion therapy. Another form of ketamine treatment is oral ketamine, where the medication is ingested in pill or capsule form. This method is often used for longer-term maintenance as it can be taken at home, reducing the need for frequent clinic visits. Oral ketamine may be an ideal option for individuals looking for a more self-managed treatment approach. Apart from intranasal and oral administration, ketamine can also be administered intramuscularly. This method involves injecting the medication directly into the muscle tissue and has been shown to have similar efficacy to infusion therapy. Intramuscular ketamine may be recommended when infusion therapy is not feasible or preferred. Expert Insight: "Having alternative ketamine treatment options allows the individual preferences to choose a modality best suited for their unique needs. Not everyone may be suitable for infusion therapy, so it's crucial to have an initial consultation first to ensure appropriate care is provided." - Dr. Henry Liang, Ketamine Treatment Specialist at Klarity Clinic and a leading provider of ketamine infusions nationwide. It's essential to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine the most suitable ketamine treatment option for your specific needs. They can evaluate your medical history, symptoms, and treatment goals to guide you toward the right approach. By considering these alternative options, individuals in Southern California can access a comprehensive range of ketamine treatments to address their mental health concerns effectively. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621816e088c2871cc2a09808/66424c62-ca6f-4c05-a204-f69de3f98bb8/fabrizio-chiagano-rDwIXsgb2LY-unsplash.jpeg A Guide to Transformative Care - Integrative Approaches to Mental Health Treatment When it comes to mental health treatment in Los Angeles, a holistic approach that combines different therapies and modalities can often yield the best results. Ketamine infusion therapy is one such treatment option that can be effectively integrated with other approaches to enhance its benefits and promote comprehensive healing. Ketamine infusion therapy can be combined with various psychotherapeutic techniques to address different aspects of mental health conditions. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) are commonly used in conjunction with ketamine infusion therapy to help individuals develop coping mechanisms, improve emotional regulation, and enhance their overall well-being. By combining ketamine infusion therapy with traditional talk therapy, individuals in Los Angeles can experience a more comprehensive treatment that addresses not only the physiological aspects but also the psychological and emotional components of their mental health challenges. "The integration of ketamine infusion therapy with other evidence-based treatments offers a synergistic approach that can lead to long-lasting recovery," says Dr. Tang, co-founder of Klarity Clinic, specializing in ketamine therapy. Furthermore, incorporating alternative healing practices such as mindfulness meditation, yoga, and acupuncture can complement ketamine infusion therapy by promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and aiding in the integration of the treatment's transformative effects. Dr. Henry Liang, fellow co-founder of Klarity Clinic, emphasizes the importance of an individualized approach to treatment: "Each person is unique, and their mental health journey requires a tailored treatment plan. Integrative approaches allow us to customize treatment based on an individual's specific needs, enhancing the potential for positive outcomes."

However, researchers in the past few years have successfully studied the effects of Stellate Ganglion Block in the treatment of PTSD, and it has been the talk of the town since then. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621816e088c2871cc2a09808/b2dfddda-81b3-47bd-82e5-30522fa2a440/Untitled+design+%2818%29.png Stellate Ganglion Block PTSD Treatment - What is Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB)? Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) is a treatment that involves local anesthesia of the Stellate Ganglion, a group of nerves in the neck. These nerves help control involuntary body functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, and sweating. While SGB has long been used to reduce pain, it is now also used to treat symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression by calming overactive sympathetic systems and helping to restore the "fight-or-flight" mechanism. Research on the effectiveness of Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) for PTSD has shown promising results. A 2017 clinical trial by the US Department of Veterans Affairs showed significant reductions in PTSD symptoms, particularly for severe cases. A 2023 review by Jama Psychiatry also highlighted positive outcomes. A 2014 RTI randomized controlled trial confirmed SGB's effectiveness in alleviating PTSD symptoms and suggested it might help with generalized anxiety and major depressive disorder. SGB works by calming the amygdala, the part of the brain involved in fear and emotional responses. It reduces the levels of norepinephrine, a hormone that's part of the body's "fight or flight" response, which is overactive in people with PTSD. By lowering norepinephrine levels, SGB reduces feelings of hyper-arousal and stress and provides a calming effect. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621816e088c2871cc2a09808/f214898e-259e-4a4c-8d52-92eecda94da2/ch3.jpeg Stellate Ganglion Block PTSD Treatment Our Approach at Klarity Clinic Personalized patient care Klarity Clinic believes in serving you with satisfaction.

The doctor will clean and disinfect your neck. The first injection of local anesthesia near your voice box is given. This might sting or burn a little, but it numbs the area to reduce pain. If you're feeling anxious, they might offer mild sedation to help you relax. Using ultrasound or X-ray guidance, the doctor will insert a second thin needle to accurately place the stellate ganglion block. The entire process usually takes less than 30 minutes. Our team will monitor you for a short period after the procedure to ensure everything is okay, and then you’ll be able to go home. Post-Procedure Care and Recovery Following the injection, you may experience temporary swelling and inflammation at the injection site. This is typically mild and can be treated with over-the-counter pain medicines such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or ice. Most patients report that any post-procedure discomfort resolves within a few hours to a day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621816e088c2871cc2a09808/c3ea08f2-2372-48ea-a66c-8211a260e25c/Untitled+design+%2820%29.png Stellate Ganglion Block PTSD Treatment - Safety and Risks Common side effects do occur after the procedure, but they usually go away within a few hours and can include: Bruising or soreness: Slight bruising or soreness, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen and by applying ice to the area. Drooping eyelids or red eyes: For a few hours your eyelids might droop, or your eyes might appear bloodshot. Watery eyes and stuffy nose: It might impact their nasal cavity, but these symptoms typically subside on their own. Hoarse voice and lump in throat: You may feel a scratchy voice or a lump in your throat. These sensations typically disappear within a few minutes. Tingly or warm feeling in arm or hand: You might experience a warm or tingly feeling in your arm or hand, which also goes away within a few hours. Potential Risks and Complications Although serious complications are rare, it’s important to be aware of the potential risks, which include infection at the injection site, bleeding from a punctured blood vessel, damage to nearby nerves, collapsed lungs, and any other kind of allergic reaction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621816e088c2871cc2a09808/19778043-349b-4dc0-a522-5ca4b797257e/an2.jpeg Stellate Ganglion Block PTSD Treatment - How Does Klarity Clinic Ensure Patient Safety?

Ketamine works in a unique way by increasing neural activity in the brain.

This makes it easier for someone with depression to move away from negative thoughts or for someone struggling with substance use to form healthier habits. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621816e088c2871cc2a09808/01901008-6bdd-480e-9ff4-6315d6c167e9/Untitled+design+-+2024-11-07T221646.972.png Best Top Ketamine Therapy Clinic in Orange County CA - Benefits The benefits of ketamine therapy are impressive.

And women are more likely to develop this disorder than men. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) occurs in people after experiencing something shocking, frightening, or dangerous. Although it is normal to feel afraid or stressed during and after a traumatic event, PTSD occurs when these feelings do not fade and interfere with daily life. Common Symptoms of PTSD Flashbacks of nightmares of the accident Avoiding places/things/situations that remind of trauma Having negative mood and thoughts Nervousness Trauma doesn’t just affect someone mentally—it impacts physical and emotional health, too. Many people with PTSD feel tense, struggle with anger or irritability, and find it difficult to go to work, maintain relationships, or even get a good night's sleep. Emotionally, trauma can cause feelings of isolation, fear, or guilt, making it tough to connect with others even with spouses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621816e088c2871cc2a09808/70a5e5d8-4912-4afb-8b1a-00a67ba981ec/Untitled+design+-+2024-11-08T001120.028.png PTSD Therapy San Diego CA - Our Services Stellate Ganglion Block Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) is a treatment that involves local anesthesia of the Stellate Ganglion, a group of nerves in the neck.

NAD+ is a critical coenzyme involved in energy production and various cellular processes such as DNA repair, cellular energy, and mitochondria health. However, NAD+ levels decrease over time with age and stressors such as inflammation and alcohol, leading to different health issues. Niagen is a powerful, patented, pharmaceutical-grade form of NR (nicotinamide riboside), and it’s the most efficient and superior precursor to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) available on the market. Niagen IV is a first-of-its-kind pharmaceutical-grade intravenous therapy of nicotinamide riboside chloride (NRCl). Orally supplemented nicotinamide riboside (NR) can boost cellular levels of NAD+, and it is one of the most well-known compounds that act as an NAD+ precursor. Research has shown that NR effectively and safely raises blood NAD+ levels without significant side effects. Recently, studies show that the intravenous formulation supports faster and more efficient delivery of Niagen. A new pilot study with middle-aged adults from this year has added to the evidence base of how intravenous NR boosts NAD+ levels highlighting it's safe to use. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621816e088c2871cc2a09808/829b9648-237e-4480-8a0d-58ca80aa5134/Untitled+design+-+2025-05-07T003642.113.png IV Niagen therapy - Why Niagen therapy and not NAD+? Traditional methods of replenishing NAD+, such as intravenous (IV) infusions, have shown promise but often come with drawbacks like lengthy administration times and uncomfortable side effects because the active form of NAD+ is injected directly into your bloodstream. However, high concentrations of NAD+ are not naturally present in the body, so this may cause adverse experiences, such as headaches and nausea. Recognizing the need for a more efficient and comfortable solution, we are proud to introduce IV Niagen therapy at Klarity Socal. This innovative treatment utilizes Nicotinamide Riboside Chloride (NRCl), a highly bioavailable precursor to NAD+, allowing for faster infusions with minimal discomfort. Patients can experience the rejuvenating benefits of increased NAD+ levels without the extended clinic visits or adverse reactions commonly associated with traditional NAD+ IV therapies. Since NR is the precursor to NAD+ that is converted naturally inside cells, Niagen (NR) has been shown to provide 20% higher levels of NAD+. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621816e088c2871cc2a09808/a22c2812-6b56-4404-a334-bb0bf58a669c/Untitled+design+-+2025-05-07T005828.163.png IV Niagen therapy - Benefits of IV Niagen therapy Faster infusion time As time is our most precious commodity, IV Niagen is preferred because it reduces the overall infusion time by up to 75% compared to NAD+ IV. Fewer side effects Niagen IV has significantly fewer side effects, with the most commonly reported sensation being tingling in the mouth and extremities. Others reported feelings of congestion or “runny nose,” as well as pressure in the head and ears. This is another reason why people don't get afraid of getting therapy again because the side effects of NAD+ are severe like anxiety, headaches, nausea, chest tightness, feeling woozy, hot flashes, stomach cramping, diarrhea, and sudden urges to have a bowel movement. Elevates NAD+ quickly Niagen IV increases NAD+ by an average of 20% three hours after the infusion compared to their baseline levels. Conversely, NAD+ IV does not elevate blood NAD+ until 24 hours later, with only a 2% average increase compared to baseline during this time. Does not promote inflammation NAD+ IV increases the white blood cell count, indicating an inflammatory response. Conversely, Niagen IV safely increases intracellular NAD+ levels without triggering an inflammatory immune response. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621816e088c2871cc2a09808/fe722212-103d-4b8c-aca2-5af1cf54bbb1/Untitled+design+-+2025-05-07T003824.253.png IV Niagen therapy - Our Niagen therapy services IV infusions This treatment introduces a specialized form of vitamin B3 called Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) directly into your bloodstream. Once inside your body, NR is converted into NAD+, effectively boosting its levels. This increase can enhance your energy, support cellular repair, and promote overall vitality. It takes from 10 minutes to three hours to complete one infusion depending on your dosage requirements. Follow-up At Klarity Socal, we go beyond just the infusion itself.

Substances such as alcohol, marijuana, and nicotine also are considered drugs. When you're addicted, you may continue using the drug despite the harm it causes. This is because substances change how your brain functions over time. They release dopamine, a chemical in your brain that makes you feel good — until the substance wears off. Your brain and body want to continue this good feeling, even if it’s unhealthy. It can significantly impact your emotional well-being, relationships, education, and career. And in many cases, it’s life-threatening. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621816e088c2871cc2a09808/32f03f16-14df-48b8-af69-19ad4e5a8916/Untitled+design+-+2025-05-07T015510.423.png The Drug and Alcohol Detox Service - Common symptoms of substance use disorder Feeling that you have to use the drug regularly — daily or even several times a day Having intense urges for the drug that block out any other thoughts Over time, needing more of the drug to get the same effect Taking larger amounts of the drug over a longer period of time than you intended Making certain that you maintain a supply of the drug Spending money on the drug, even though you can't afford it Not meeting obligations and work responsibilities, or cutting back on social or recreational activities because of drug use Continuing to use the drug, even though you know it's causing problems in your life or causing you physical or psychological harm Doing things to get the drug that you normally wouldn't do, such as stealing Driving or doing other risky activities when you're under the influence of the drug Spending a good deal of time getting the drug, using the drug, or recovering from the effects of the drug Failing in your attempts to stop using the drug Tolerance to or need for increased amounts of the drug to get an effect Withdrawal from social and recreational activities Using drugs or alcohol even with continued relationship problems caused by use. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621816e088c2871cc2a09808/beab7669-5fbe-4524-8011-f20a5035d1cf/Untitled+design+-+2025-05-07T015829.980.png The Drug and Alcohol Detox Service - Benefits of combined IV NAD+ & IV ketamine therapy Alleviation of withdrawal symptoms Withdrawal can be a significant hurdle in the detoxification process. IV NAD+ therapy may help reduce the severity of withdrawal symptoms by replenishing essential coenzymes involved in cellular energy production, potentially easing the detox experience. While ketamine is known for its anesthetic properties, it further assists in managing discomfort associated with withdrawal. Reduction in cravings Persistent cravings often lead to relapse. Ketamine has been observed to disrupt maladaptive neural pathways linked to addiction, which may diminish cravings. NAD+ supports cellular health, potentially aiding in restoring neurological function and further reducing the urge to use substances. Enhanced mood & cognitive function Substance abuse can impair cognitive abilities and contribute to mood disorders such as depression and anxiety. NAD+ plays a role in DNA repair and energy metabolism, which may improve mental clarity and overall brain function. Ketamine has shown rapid antidepressant effects, potentially stabilizing mood during the challenging detox period. Support for neuroplasticity Effective recovery often requires the brain to form new, healthier neural connections. Ketamine has been associated with promoting neuroplasticity, potentially facilitating the development of adaptive behaviors and coping strategies essential for long-term sobriety. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621816e088c2871cc2a09808/d7460b19-e569-4972-bdfc-c7d3447ccb63/Untitled+design+-+2025-05-07T015640.113.png The Drug and Alcohol Detox Service - How can we help? IV NAD+ & IV ketamine detox therapy To support your journey toward recovery, we offer a unique detoxification treatment that combines Intravenous (IV) Nicotinamide, Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+), and IV ketamine therapies. IV NAD+ therapy NAD+ is a vital coenzyme found in every cell of the body, playing a crucial role in energy production, DNA repair, and overall cellular function. Chronic substance abuse can deplete NAD+ levels, leading to diminished physical and mental health. Administering NAD+ intravenously helps replenish these levels, supporting the body's natural healing processes and enhancing brain function. IV ketamine therapy Ketamine is an anesthetic that, at controlled doses, has shown efficacy in treating various conditions, including depression and addiction. In the context of detoxification, ketamine can help manage withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings by modulating neural pathways associated with addiction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621816e088c2871cc2a09808/9b4a9ba0-9b16-45ab-9b66-4b4e21eec826/Untitled+design+-+2025-05-07T015946.745.png The Drug and Alcohol Detox Service - Personalized treatment approach We understand that factors like your health history, the substances involved, and personal experiences all play a role in shaping your path to recovery.
