IV (intravenous) therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, and fluids directly into the bloodstream through a vein, bypassing the digestive system entirely. Because nutrients skip digestion, absorption is immediate rather than gradual — which is why IV therapy is often used for hydration, fatigue, immune support, and recovery when oral supplementation isn’t enough or isn’t practical. At Proactive Choice in Bend, OR, IV therapy is offered under the direction of Dr. Drew Collins, ND, a licensed naturopathic physician (Oregon license 1332) trained at Bastyr University.
IV therapy uses a thin catheter placed in a vein, usually in the arm, to deliver a sterile solution of fluids, vitamins, minerals, or amino acids directly into circulation. Because the digestive system is bypassed, the body doesn't have to break down and absorb the nutrients the way it would with a pill or capsule — a meaningful difference for anyone dealing with gut absorption issues, or who simply wants a more direct, faster-acting option than oral supplements typically provide.
The idea itself isn't new — hospitals have used IV fluids and nutrients for decades. What's changed is that naturopathic and integrative clinics now offer it as a proactive wellness and recovery tool, not just an emergency intervention.
People typically look into IV therapy for a few common reasons:
This isn't an exhaustive list, and IV therapy isn't the right fit for everyone — a real health history review with Dr. Collins is the actual starting point, not a self-diagnosis based on a website.
A typical visit starts with a brief health history review to confirm IV therapy is an appropriate fit and to rule out any contraindications. From there, the IV is placed and you're free to relax, read, or just sit quietly while it finishes. Most people tolerate the process well; mild bruising at the injection site is the most common minor side effect, similar to a standard blood draw.
The Available Treatments section above lists the infusions offered here, including the Myers' Cocktail, IV glutathione, IV NAD+ and IV chelation. Which one fits you depends on your health history.
IV therapy works best as part of a broader, individualized plan — not a one-time fix disconnected from the rest of your health picture. Dr. Collins reviews your history and goals before recommending a specific approach, which is the naturopathic model this practice is built around: treating the underlying picture, not just administering a generic protocol.
How long does an IV therapy session take?
It depends on the formulation and the infusion rate. Dr. Collins will tell you how long your specific protocol usually runs when you book.
Is IV therapy safe?
As with any medical procedure, IV therapy carries some risk. Bruising at the needle site is the most common problem, and infection, vitamin toxicity and medication interactions are less common but real. A health history review before treatment is standard practice specifically to screen for contraindications. This isn't a substitute for a real conversation with Dr. Collins about your specific health history.
How is IV therapy different from taking oral supplements?
Oral supplements pass through digestion, where absorption varies significantly by individual and by nutrient. IV therapy bypasses digestion entirely, delivering nutrients straight into circulation.
Do I need an appointment?
Yes — IV therapy at Proactive Choice starts with a consultation to confirm it's an appropriate fit for your specific health situation.
Is IV therapy covered by insurance?
Proactive Choice operates on a self-pay basis rather than billing through insurance. Book an appointment or call (858) 333-5196 to discuss pricing directly.
IV therapy has become widely available — spa chains and stand-alone "IV bars" now offer it in most cities, often as a walk-in, one-size-fits-all service. The naturopathic approach at Proactive Choice works differently: Dr. Collins reviews your actual health history before recommending anything, rather than offering the same standard formulation to everyone who walks in. That distinction matters because IV therapy isn't risk-free for every person or every health situation — certain conditions and medications can make specific formulations inappropriate, which is exactly why a physician-directed intake process exists in the first place, not as an extra step but as the actual point of the service.
"IV therapy replaces a healthy diet." It doesn't, and shouldn't be treated as a substitute for one. It's a tool for specific situations — acute fatigue, recovery, absorption issues — not a replacement for the basics of nutrition, sleep, and hydration.
"More vitamins is always better." Even water-soluble vitamins that the body excretes easily aren't automatically harmless in unlimited amounts, and some formulations genuinely aren't appropriate for certain health conditions. This is another reason the intake conversation with Dr. Collins matters before treatment, not after.
If you're considering IV therapy in Bend, OR, the first step is a conversation with Dr. Drew Collins, ND, about your health history and goals. Book an appointment or call (858) 333-5196 to get started.
