IV Therapy
Targeted treatments, delivered directly. Every IV protocol at Progressive Medical Center in Atlanta is selected based on your diagnostics and built to support the broader treatment plan your doctors have designed for you.
When chronic illness compromises the digestive system, oral supplements lose much of their potency before they ever reach the bloodstream. IV therapy bypasses the gut entirely, delivering nutrients directly into your body at concentrations oral supplementation cannot match. Call (770) 676-6000 to schedule a consultation.
More Than a Drip Bar
Medical-Grade IV Therapy, Guided by Diagnostics
When illness compromises the digestive system, oral supplements lose much of their potency before they ever reach the bloodstream. IV therapy bypasses the gut entirely, delivering vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and natural medicines directly into your body at therapeutic concentrations that oral supplementation cannot achieve.
At Progressive Medical Center, IV therapy is not a standalone wellness service. Every protocol is selected based on your diagnostic results, health history, and treatment goals. Your care team determines exactly what your body needs, in what concentration, and in what sequence, so each IV session supports the broader treatment plan your doctors have designed for you.
With 24 specialized IV protocols and a dedicated IV department led by experienced nurses, PMC delivers one of the most comprehensive IV therapy programs in the Southeast.
Why Intravenous Delivery
Full Absorption, Faster Results
The digestive system is often one of the first systems affected by chronic illness. Dietary sensitivities, medications, inflammation, and gut dysfunction all reduce the body's ability to absorb nutrients from food and supplements. When the GI system is compromised, healing stalls.
IV therapy solves this problem directly. Nutrients are delivered at 100% bioavailability, reaching therapeutic levels in the bloodstream within minutes rather than hours. This allows your body to begin using those nutrients immediately for immune support, cellular repair, energy production, and detoxification.
For patients dealing with chronic conditions, recovering from illness, or preparing for and recovering from other treatments, IV therapy provides the nutritional foundation that makes everything else work better.

Featured Protocol
NAD IV Therapy
NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell in the body. It fuels metabolic reactions, assists mitochondria in converting food into energy, and plays a critical role in DNA repair. NAD levels decline dramatically with age. By age 50, most people have roughly half the NAD they had in their youth. By 80, levels can drop to as low as 1 to 10 percent.
NAD IV therapy restores cellular NAD to higher ranges, supporting energy production, cognitive function, healthy aging, and cellular repair. For patients seeking anti-aging support, NAD is one of the most direct ways to rebuild what the body loses with time.
A typical course of NAD IV runs 4 to 10 sessions within a 4 to 12 day span, followed by monthly maintenance. Your provider designs the schedule based on your goals and clinical picture.

Your IV Therapy Experience
What to Expect
From initial consultation through your treatment sessions, here is what the process looks like at Progressive Medical Center.
Consultation and Diagnostics
Every patient starts with a consultation ($250 standard, $450 for cancer patients). Your provider reviews your health history, symptoms, and goals. Advanced diagnostic testing identifies the specific deficiencies, toxic burdens, and imbalances your body is dealing with. These results determine which IV protocols will be most effective for your situation, in what concentrations, and how frequently they should be administered.
Your Treatment Plan
Based on your diagnostics, your care team builds a personalized IV therapy plan. This may include a single protocol or a combination of treatments scheduled over days or weeks. If you are receiving other therapies at PMC, your IV sessions are coordinated with those treatments so they complement each other. Your provider explains exactly what each IV does, why it was chosen, and what to expect.
The IV Session
Sessions take place in a comfortable recliner setting in our dedicated IV therapy room. A trained nurse places a small IV line, and the infusion begins. Session length varies by protocol, from 30 minutes for simpler drips to 2 or more hours for high-dose protocols like Vitamin C or NAD. Most patients relax during their infusion, reading, working on their phone, or simply resting. You are monitored throughout by our IV department team.
Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustment
After each session, your team tracks your response and adjusts your protocol as needed. Follow-up lab work measures progress objectively so your treatment plan evolves with your health. Many patients incorporate regular IV therapy as part of their ongoing wellness strategy at PMC, with frequency decreasing as their health stabilizes.
Your IV Team
A Dedicated IV Department
PMC's IV therapy program is led by Sarah Jeffries, RN, our IV Department Supervisor. Sarah and her team of trained nurses administer every IV session, monitoring patients throughout and adjusting flow rates and protocols as needed. This is not a self-serve drip bar. Every infusion is medically supervised, clinically intentional, and coordinated with your broader treatment plan.
Your IV department team works directly with your physician and naturopath to ensure that what is being delivered intravenously aligns with what your diagnostics revealed and what your other treatments require.

IV Therapy as Part of a Bigger Plan
IV drip bars have made intravenous therapy widely available, but availability and clinical expertise are two different things. At Progressive Medical Center, IV therapy is not a menu you order from. It is a medically guided intervention chosen based on advanced diagnostics and administered within a coordinated treatment model.
Your IV protocols are selected by physicians and naturopaths who understand your full clinical picture. They are timed to work with your other treatments, whether that is EBOO for detoxification, hormone therapy for optimization, or diagnostic testing to identify what your body actually needs. The result is a treatment plan where each therapy supports and amplifies the others.
With 24 specialized protocols, a dedicated IV department, and 27 years of treating complex chronic conditions, PMC delivers IV therapy as part of a coordinated medical practice rather than a standalone service.

We offer 24 specialized IV protocols, including High-Dose Vitamin C, NAD, Myers Cocktail, Glutathione, Chelation Therapy, Amino Acid, Cancer Immunotherapy, Athletic Performance, Detox, and many more. Your medical team selects the right protocol based on your diagnostics and treatment goals, not from a general menu.

Is IV therapy safe?
Yes. All IV sessions at PMC are administered by trained nurses in our dedicated IV therapy room and monitored throughout. Protocols are prescribed by your physician or naturopath based on your lab work and medical history. Side effects are rare and typically limited to minor discomfort at the IV site or mild fatigue during detox protocols.
What is NAD IV therapy?
NAD is a coenzyme that supports mitochondrial energy production, cognitive function, and DNA repair. NAD levels decline with age, and IV delivery is the most direct way to restore them. NAD IV protocols are commonly used for healthy aging support, cognitive clarity, and cellular recovery. Your provider determines the right course based on your goals.
How much does IV therapy cost?
IV therapy pricing varies by protocol, concentration, and frequency. Your provider will discuss costs during your consultation ($250 standard, $450 for cancer patients). PMC is out-of-network, but we provide superbills for insurance reimbursement. Cherry Financing and CareCredit are available. Visit our Insurance and Financing page for details.
How often will I need IV therapy?
Frequency depends on your condition and treatment goals. Some patients benefit from a series of sessions over several weeks during an intensive treatment phase. Others maintain with monthly or quarterly sessions as part of ongoing wellness support. Your care team adjusts the schedule based on how your body responds and what your follow-up lab work shows.
Do I need a consultation before starting IV therapy?
Yes. IV therapy at PMC is not a walk-in service. Your first step is a consultation where a provider reviews your health history and orders the diagnostic testing needed to build your protocol. This ensures that what goes into your IV is exactly what your body needs. Call (770) 676-6000 or book online to schedule.
Can IV therapy help with cancer treatment side effects?
