Does mobile IV therapy cost more than in-office?

Mobile IV service includes a travel fee on top of the drip price. The fee varies based on location — closer to Centennial or Alamosa is less expensive, outlying areas more. Group bookings of 3 or more people at one location significantly reduce the per-person travel cost.

Who administers the IV at Defiance Health?

Every IV at Defiance Health is administered by a licensed medical professional (RN, NP, or PA) under physician oversight. Pharmaceutical-grade compounds from licensed pharmacies are used along with sterile protocols. This is medical IV therapy, not a spa service.

Are there side effects from IV therapy?

Most patients tolerate IV therapy well with no side effects. Occasionally, patients report a vitamin taste in the mouth, cold sensation at the IV site, or mild bruising at the injection site. NAD+ specifically can cause temporary chest pressure or flushing during infusion, which is why it is infused slowly.

Can I book mobile IV therapy for an event or party?

Yes. Defiance Health books mobile IV therapy for bachelorette parties, wedding days, corporate wellness events, athletic events, retreats, and private gatherings. Group bookings of 3 or more people at one location reduce the per-person travel cost. Contact Defiance Health at (719) 480-2400 for event scheduling.

Why IV Therapy

100% Absorption. Noticeable in Minutes.

When nutrients and hydration are delivered orally, only a fraction — often 20–50% — are absorbed by the body. IV therapy bypasses the digestive system entirely, delivering vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and hydration directly into your bloodstream at 100% bioavailability.

That's why people feel the difference. Most patients notice improved energy, clarity, and recovery before they leave the chair — effects that continue for days afterward.

At Defiance Health, every IV is administered by a licensed medical professional using pharmaceutical-grade compounds and sterile protocols. This isn't a wellness spa — it's medical IV therapy, prescribed and monitored by your provider.

"Oral supplements have to survive your gut. An IV skips all that — full dose, fast effect, every time."

Frequently Asked Questions

IV Therapy Questions, Answered

How long does an IV drip take?

Most drips take 30-60 minutes depending on volume and formula. Hydration, Myers, Immune Boost, Glutathione, and Lipo-Mino typically run 30-45 minutes. NAD+ is longer — usually 1-2 hours — because it's infused more slowly for patient comfort.

When will I feel the effects?

Most patients notice improved energy, clarity, or hydration before they leave the chair. Full effects typically appear within a few hours and continue for 24-72 hours depending on the formula. Regular maintenance sessions produce more sustained benefits than one-off drips.

Is mobile IV therapy available?

Mobile IV service is available on request for select bookings. Please call (719) 480-2400 or mention it when you book to discuss availability. Group bookings of 3 or more people at one location are preferred and reduce the per-person travel cost. A travel fee applies based on your distance from our Centennial or Alamosa locations.

Who administers the IV?

Every IV at Defiance Health is administered by a licensed medical professional (RN, NP, or PA) under physician oversight. We use pharmaceutical-grade compounds from licensed pharmacies and sterile protocols. This is medical IV therapy, not a spa service.

How often can I get IV therapy?

For most formulas, weekly or every-other-week sessions are safe and effective for sustained benefits. NAD+ is typically done as an intensive loading series (multiple sessions close together) followed by monthly maintenance. Hydration and Hangover drips can be done as-needed. Your provider will recommend a cadence based on your goals.

Are there side effects?

Most patients tolerate IV therapy well with no side effects. Occasionally, patients report a vitamin taste in the mouth, cold sensation at the IV site, or mild bruising where the needle was placed. NAD+ specifically can cause temporary chest pressure or flushing during infusion, which is why it's infused slowly. We review your history before every session to minimize any risk.

Who should NOT get IV therapy?

IV therapy is not recommended for patients with heart failure, advanced kidney disease, G6PD deficiency (for high-dose vitamin C drips), certain medication interactions, or during active serious illness without medical clearance. We review your health history before every first-time session. If you take medications or have chronic conditions, let us know at intake.

Can I combine IV therapy with my weight loss or hormone program?

Absolutely — in fact, many patients do. The Lipo-Mino drip pairs well with GLP-1 weight loss programs. Myers and Glutathione IVs can support hormone therapy patients, especially during protocol optimization. Talk to your provider about integrating IV therapy into your broader care plan.

Does insurance cover IV therapy?

IV therapy is generally considered elective and is not typically covered by insurance. Defiance Health operates on a direct-pay model. HSA and FSA cards are accepted. Financing through CareCredit and Cherry is available for larger packages. Corporate wellness accounts are also available for companies that want to offer IV therapy as a workplace benefit.

Can I book mobile IV therapy for a party or event?

Mobile IV service for private events is available on request. We take these on a case-by-case basis depending on date, location, and group size. Group bookings of 3+ people at one location are preferred. Call (719) 480-2400 to discuss your event, availability, and pricing.
