IV Treatments

Overview

Hydrate Medical delivers safe, supervised IV care with a quick screening and clear guidance, so you can choose the option that fits your goals. Visits are relaxed and efficient, and your provider helps you understand what to expect.

First Time Drip

You never forget your first IV drip. Now only $99. This starter includes 1 liter of IV fluids, B12, B Complex, glutathione, and one booster of your choice: anti-inflammatory, anti-nausea, or antacid. It is a great fit for athletes, frequent travelers, busy parents, immune support seekers, people with frequent headaches or anxiety, and anyone bouncing back after overindulgence. A brief screening comes first, then you settle in and relax.

Hydration Drips

Choose from targeted hydration options that support recovery after hard efforts, long travel days, immune goals, and a general reset. Your provider will recommend a drip and any add ons based on your needs, then you can unwind while fluids do their work. Most visits take about 45 minutes.

NAD+ Therapy

NAD+ supports cellular energy, DNA repair, cognition, metabolism, and healthy aging. You can receive NAD+ by IV infusion, typically four to six hours, or by quick subQ injections that fit a busy schedule. If you are looking for more steady energy or clearer focus, your provider can help you choose the right approach.

FAQs

What is IV therapy and how does it work?

IV therapy delivers fluids, vitamins, electrolytes, and other nutrients directly into your bloodstream through a small catheter placed in a vein, usually in the arm. Because the nutrients bypass your digestive system entirely, your body receives them at full concentration — faster and more completely than oral supplementation allows. Sessions run about 45 minutes in a comfortable lounge setting, and there’s no recovery time afterward. You can drive yourself home and go on with your day.

What is IV therapy actually used for?

The most common uses are hangover recovery, illness recovery, athletic performance and recovery, jet lag, immune support, energy and fatigue, and general wellness maintenance. Hydrate Medical also offers NAD+ therapy through IV infusion for clients focused on cellular energy, brain function, and anti-aging. Your provider will help you match the right formula to what you’re dealing with.

Who administers the treatments at Hydrate Medical North Carolina and South Carolina Locations?

All treatments are administered by licensed nurses and monitored by our licensed nurse practitioner team with emergency medicine backgrounds. Our founding team has over 30 combined years of ER experience, and more than 90% of our clinical staff comes from emergency medicine settings. That background matters — placing IVs cleanly, managing vitals, and monitoring clients during infusions is second nature for our team in a way it simply isn’t for providers without that training.

How is IV therapy at Hydrate Medical different from getting an IV at a hospital?

The purpose is different. Hospital IVs are used in acute care situations — emergency treatment, surgery prep, medication delivery. Our IV therapy is designed for wellness, recovery, and performance support in a comfortable outpatient setting. The clinical standards — licensed staff, pharmaceutical-grade ingredients, health screening, sterile single-use supplies — are the same. The environment is a lounge, not a treatment room, and you’re there by choice rather than necessity.

How much does IV therapy cost in North Carolina and South Carolina?

Our drip menu starts at $99 for a First Time Drip (new clients only) and ranges from $109 to $199 for standard formulas. B12 injections are $40. NAD+ subcutaneous injections are $125, and NAD+ IV infusions are part of our Performance & Longevity protocols starting at $299. No insurance is accepted for IV drips or B12 — these are self-pay wellness services. Some HSA/FSA accounts may cover medically supervised weight loss services; check with your plan provider.

Is IV therapy safe?

Yes, when administered by qualified providers following proper clinical protocols. Before every session, our team conducts a brief health screening to confirm that IV therapy is appropriate for you that day. Some health conditions and medications are contraindications — your provider will advise you honestly if that applies. All supplies are sterile and single-use. Results vary by individual, and your provider will discuss what to realistically expect before you start.

Do you offer mobile IV therapy in North Carolina and South Carolina?

Yes. Hydrate Medical offers mobile IV therapy — a licensed nurse comes to your home, office, or hotel and administers the same drip formulas available in-clinic. The mobile service fee is $200 during business hours or $300 after hours, added to the cost of your selected drip or injection. Members receive a $100 discount on mobile visits. For first-time clients, we generally recommend an in-clinic visit first so you can meet the team and have the full setup around you. After that, mobile is a natural extension.

What's the difference between IV drips and NAD+ therapy?

Standard IV drips focus on hydration, vitamins, and electrolytes — they’re typically 45-minute sessions built around a specific wellness goal. NAD+ therapy uses nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a coenzyme your cells use for energy production, DNA repair, and metabolic function. IV NAD+ infusions take four to six hours per session because the molecule needs to be administered slowly to be well-tolerated. Subcutaneous NAD+ injections are a faster option for maintenance and routine use. Both are offered at Hydrate Medical and your provider can help you figure out which approach fits your goals and schedule.
