IV Therapy
Rapidly replenish essential nutrients to ease withdrawal and accelerate your body's recovery.
Intravenous Nutrient Therapy for Addiction Recovery
IV therapy is one of the most effective tools in early addiction recovery. Years of substance use often deplete the body of essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that are critical for physical and mental health. At RECO Island, our IV therapy program delivers these nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for immediate absorption and faster results. This approach helps ease withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, restore energy levels, and support the body's natural detoxification processes.
How It Works
During your stay at RECO Island, our medical team will assess your nutritional status through comprehensive blood work and design a customized IV therapy protocol tailored to your specific deficiencies. Treatment sessions typically last 30 to 60 minutes and are administered in a comfortable, relaxing setting by trained medical professionals. Common formulations include high-dose vitamin C, B-complex vitamins, magnesium, glutathione, and amino acid blends. The frequency and composition of your IV treatments are adjusted throughout your stay based on your body's response and ongoing lab results.
