Introducing Our New IV Hydration Therapist, Kelly Wine

Oasis Recovery Center is proud to offer IV hydration therapy through our new partnership with Kelly Wine at New Leaf Restorative Medicine. We’re always looking to expand our services and provide clients with every possible treatment method they need to succeed. IV hydration therapy aims to ensure clients are comfortable, physically healthy, and energized during recovery. 

What is IV Hydration Therapy?

Typically, IV hydration therapy replenishes lost fluids and nutrients when an individual requires rapid rehydration and cannot hydrate adequately due to a medical condition. However, we’re using it to help clients restore the nutrients, vitamins, and minerals commonly lost during alcohol and drug abuse. 

Our partnership with Kelly at New Leaf excels because of our shared open-mindedness and holistic approach to wellness. Their top-rated hydration formula is different than traditional over-the-counter supplements or medications and was specifically designed to help bodies recover from addiction. 

Each drip contains hydrating fluids, electrolytes, and a unique B vitamin complex that help a wide range of cellular and brain functions. Clients can also add an additional component to make their IV hydration session even more beneficial. 

These include:

• Vitamin C: Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that boosts the immune system, repairs organs and tissues, and helps your body control cortisol levels, which lowers stress and leaves you feeling renewed.
• Magnesium: Magnesium helps relax your nerves and muscles, making the IV therapy process comfortable and stress-free. Magnesium also helps with heart rhythm regulation and contributes to bone health. 
• Vitamin B12: Vitamin B12 increases red blood cell production and boosts energy, mood, and focus. Clients will leave IV therapy feeling refreshed and ready to go. 
• Glutathione: Glutathione is a master antioxidant, helps the liver detox, and defends cells against oxidative stress and damage caused by toxins.   

Why Is IV Hydration Therapy Important? 

Drugs and alcohol can weaken the nutritional stores our brains run and rely on. For example, alcohol disrupts the liver’s ability to convert carbohydrates into energy and competes with folate and vitamin B12 for absorption in the intestines. Additionally, diuretics like alcohol and certain stimulants can increase the amount of water-soluble vitamins and minerals leaving your body. Finally, certain substances can reduce appetite or increase cravings toward unhealthy and fatty foods. 

It can be challenging to make it through addiction and stick with recovery if our bodies are unhealthy, and IV hydration therapy can be the right boost many people need. 

What’s Involved? 

Clients can receive IV hydration therapy once a week, and each session lasts between 30 to 45 minutes. Make sure you have a snack and drink plenty of water before your session so your body isn’t overwhelmed by the fluids. This helps you avoid any nausea or lightheadedness. 

Kelly has been an IV therapist for a long time and knows how to keep clients relaxed throughout the entire session. She might dim the lights, play some soothing music, and engage in conversation to ensure you feel comfortable, trusting, and personally cared for. Wear something that exposes your inner elbow, and consider bringing a blanket, as the fluid might feel cold internally.

Your body can absorb these fluids quickly, so you’ll walk out of your first session feeling immediate positive results. But we always recommend clients take additional sessions to feel long-term changes. Once the IV is removed and the site is healed, you can return to regular activities at the center. 

Benefits of IV Hydration Therapy

• Rapid Nutrient Replenishment: These essential nutrients and vitamins are delivered directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system and quickly distributing throughout the body. 
• Boosted Energy Levels: Sometimes, a bit more energy on any day in addiction treatment makes a big difference. You’ll feel energized and motivated to participate in activities and exercises you may have felt too tired to enjoy or experience. 
• Detox Support: IV therapy, especially during the early stages of recovery, can help your body flush out toxins and reduce cravings and other withdrawal symptoms. 
• Improved Mental Clarity: IV fluids can enhance cognitive function and overall mental focus, making it easier to feel, express, and address the emotions felt during all stages of recovery. A mental boost on the right day can be the key to resisting a sudden and impulsive urge.
