Lee Weiss is not only the CEO of Elev8 Centers but is also a long-time contributor to the field of substance abuse. He completely understands the fact that a large number of people lose their lives to drug overdose and alcohol abuse every year, that is exactly why he is strongly committed to doing something for their welfare. Having been in this domain for years now, he also gets that attempting to recover without professional support and advice can risk a patient’s life as much as an overdose.
Lee Weiss of New York explains medical detox treatment as a process that requires prescription of certain drugs under strict medical surveillance for easing withdrawal symptoms and the most appropriate type of treatment for opioid addiction. The experts at Elev8 Centers combine medical detox with psychological therapy and several other therapeutic activities to increase patients’ self-awareness as well as their overall well-being. Explaining the reason behind drug addiction being treated with more drugs, Lee highlights that medications stimulate the brain receptors for pleasure by releasing dopamine. Some medications used at his facilities during this process are naltrexone, buprenorphine, and methadone.
Talking about the duration of this treatment procedure, a successful medically-assisted detox process at Elev8 Centers typically may take one week or even a few months in extreme cases, depending on the individual being treated and the severity of their addiction. Lee Weiss and his team at Elev8 Centers’ have helped hundreds of people overcome addictions and lead happier, healthier lives.
