IV Therapy
At RECO Immersive, IV therapy delivers psychiatric-grade infusion blends — high-dose NAD+, B-complex, magnesium glycinate, glutathione, and targeted amino acids — directly to the bloodstream where they reach the brain at clinical concentrations the gut cannot match. We design the protocol from your bloodwork and qEEG findings, not a generic vitamin drip.
Treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and trauma symptoms often correlate with measurable methylation defects, mitochondrial dysfunction, and depleted neurotransmitter precursors. IV therapy is how we directly correct these biochemical deficits while psychotherapy and TMS work on the cognitive and circuit-level layers — combined, the response rate climbs sharply.
NAD+ infusions in particular have shown clinical benefit for cognitive fog, executive dysfunction, and the lingering anhedonia of unipolar and bipolar depression. Patients typically notice clearer thinking and stabler mood within the first 3-5 sessions, and we re-evaluate alongside qEEG and PHQ-9 every two weeks to titrate the protocol.
IV nutrient therapy questions, answered
What is in a psychiatric IV nutrient infusion?
At RECO Immersive, infusion blends are protocol-driven: high-dose NAD+, methylated B-complex (B1, B6, B9, B12), magnesium glycinate, glutathione, and targeted amino acids (taurine, glutamine, glycine, theanine). The exact formulation is built from your bloodwork and qEEG findings, not a generic vitamin drip.
How is IV nutrient therapy different from oral supplements?
Oral supplements pass through the gut where 30 to 70% of the dose is lost to malabsorption, methylation defects, and first-pass liver metabolism. IV delivery bypasses the gut entirely, putting the active dose directly in circulation at concentrations the brain can use within minutes. For patients with depression or anxiety driven by nutrient deficiency, the difference is meaningful.
Is NAD+ infusion safe? What does it actually do?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme essential to mitochondrial energy production. Levels decline with age, chronic stress, and substance exposure. Replenishing NAD+ via slow IV infusion has been associated with improved cognitive clarity, mood, and energy in patients with treatment-resistant depression and post-acute withdrawal. Safety profile is excellent when delivered at clinical pace under monitoring.
How many IV therapy sessions are needed?
Most psychiatric protocols start with a loading phase: 4 to 6 sessions over 2 weeks, followed by maintenance every 1 to 4 weeks based on response. Patients typically notice clearer thinking and stabler mood within the first 3 to 5 sessions. Re-evaluation with PHQ-9 and qEEG every two weeks guides whether to continue, taper, or switch protocols.
Does insurance cover IV nutrient therapy?
IV nutrient therapy is generally not covered by commercial insurance for psychiatric indications, though some HSA and FSA accounts can be used for the cost. We provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement attempts, and our admissions team will quote a transparent fee schedule before any infusion is scheduled.
Are there side effects from IV nutrient therapy?
Most patients experience nothing beyond mild warmth, taste changes, or transient flushing during the infusion. NAD+ in particular can cause a chest-pressure sensation when infused too quickly — we slow the rate accordingly. All sessions are supervised by an RN, and any adverse response triggers immediate protocol adjustment.
