Detox is the first step when taking back control of your health from alcohol, drugs, or other substances. For many, the detox process is the most essential part of overcoming a dependence on substances that jeopardizes your current and long-term wellness.
At Revolution Psychiatric and Addiction Treatment, we specialize in a BR+NAD™ detox program that helps diminish your cravings and prevents uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms.
Addiction medicine specialist Richard E. Repass, MD, uses specially formulated BR+NAD infusions that make your recovery more efficient.
Dr. Repass also includes BR+NAD as part of your treatment plan for neuropsychiatric disorders like anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and depression.
Why detox is important for long-term sobriety
Detox is a process of eliminating substances from your body. When you use alcohol or drugs excessively, it causes changes in your brain that makes your body think it needs the substance to survive.
As a result, you might experience a range of uncomfortable drug or alcohol withdrawal symptoms like:
- Sweating
- Irritability
- Anxiousness
- Mood swings
- Digestive upset
- Increased heart rate
- Shaking and muscle tremors
These symptoms can be severe enough to trigger a relapse of drug or alcohol use when a person can’t manage them effectively.
Under the supervision of Dr. Repass, you receive infusions of BR+NAD that restores your cognitive function, corrects chemical imbalances, and reduces intense urges to use substances, so you can achieve successful and long-term sobriety.
We also offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) plans to support your recovery from alcohol and drugs.
How BR+NAD plays a role in addiction recovery
BR+NAD (brain restoration plus nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) contains NAD, which is found in every one of your cells. It plays a key role in energy production and optimizes the function of your brain, organs, and nerves.
As you age, the levels of NAD in your cells decline. NAD also becomes significantly depleted if you have a substance abuse disorder or mental health issues. Excessive stress and physical illness can also reduce NAD in your cells.
To reverse the negative impact drugs and alcohol have on your brain, we use infusions of BR+NAD as part of your initial detox process and your ongoing treatment.
What to expect during BR+NAD infusion therapy
At Revolution Psychiatric and Addiction Treatment, we provide detox services on an outpatient basis, so you can safely stop using drugs and alcohol while still keeping up with your job and other responsibilities.
Dr. Repass customizes a detox plan to your specific needs. Treatment typically involves daily infusions for 10-15 consecutive days. Your first two infusions take 8-10 hours, and additional infusions require less time.
Many of our patients experience a noticeable change in their mental clarity and energy levels before their infusions are complete. Because BR+NAD works directly on your brain and other essential organs, it provides lasting results that benefit your overall health.
Dr. Repass also provides general psychiatry services to address anxiety, depression, and other mental and emotional health challenges that can occur with substance use disorder. In addition to therapy, Dr. Repass can prescribe medications to relieve symptoms that might interfere with your recovery.
