Walk-in, 7 days a week
A focused medical treatment, delivered the way the body actually absorbs it.
IV Hydration Therapy delivers fluids, electrolytes, and key nutrients directly into your bloodstream through an IV. Unlike drinking water, which has to pass through your digestive system before your body can use it, IV fluids bypass that process entirely and go straight where your body needs them most.
When you are seriously dehydrated, whether from illness, heat, alcohol, or intense exertion, your body cannot rehydrate fast enough on its own. The digestive system slows down, you may struggle to keep fluids down, and recovery drags out for days. IV hydration restores your fluid balance in about an hour, which is why hospitals and athletic training facilities have used the same technique for decades.
At Urgent Care of Oconee, IV Hydration Therapy is one clinical service with one clear purpose. You walk in, complete a brief clinical consult, sit comfortably while our clinical team places your IV, and walk out about an hour later feeling rehydrated. No menu of upgrade bags, no add-ons. Just real hydration care, delivered in a medical setting at all three of our locations across Athens, Watkinsville, and Madison.

IV Hydration Therapy FAQs
How long does an IV hydration session take?
About 1 hour from check-in to walking out. That includes a quick consult with our clinical team, drip setup, and the drip itself. You are welcome to relax, read, or quietly get some work done while the session runs.
How much does IV hydration cost at UCO?
IV Hydration Therapy at UCO is $250 cash. Insurance is not billed for this service. The same price applies at all three of our locations across Athens and Oconee County.
What is in the IV bag?
Lactated Ringer’s hydration fluid, vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin), magnesium (Magnesium Sulfate), and anti-nausea medication (Ondansetron). No add-ons, no supplement variants.
Do I need an appointment, or can I walk in?
UCO is walk-in friendly at all three locations (Athens, Watkinsville, and Madison), subject to the daily IV cut-off of 5pm on weekdays and 4pm on weekends. Booking online is the fastest way to lock in a slot.
Why does UCO have an earlier cut-off for IV hydration?
Each session takes about an hour. We have an earlier cut-off so every IV patient can finish before we close.
Will my insurance cover this?
No. IV Hydration Therapy at UCO is a cash service at $250. If you need care for a separate condition during your visit, we will start a new visit and may bill your insurance for that care.
Is IV hydration therapy safe?
Yes, when it is delivered by a clinical team. Our team reviews your health history and current medications before every session, and drips are prepared using clinical-grade supplies and sterile technique.
Will it help with a hangover, the flu, or heat exhaustion?
IV hydration is a hydration treatment, not a cure. It can help relieve symptoms tied to dehydration so you feel better faster while your body recovers from the underlying condition.
What if I am pregnant or on medications?
Always tell our clinical team about any medications, supplements, or conditions, including pregnancy. We will review everything before your session and recommend against IV hydration if it is not appropriate for your situation.
Rehydrate, recover, and get
back to your week.
