The good news is that there are a range of effective treatments available! In today's blog, we will take a look into cocaine withdrawal symptoms, the cocaine addiction treatment options available and where you should go to seek help.

The Signs and Symptoms of Cocaine Addiction

Want to Stop But Don’t Know Where to Start?

We understand that Cocaine addictions are complex and can be hard to deal with and control. Having the willpower to decide that enough is enough is a strong step in the right direction towards lifelong sobriety.

But how do you actually stop your cocaine dependence and start your journey? Let's take a look at some of the effective treatments that you can go for:

Cocaine Detoxification

Detoxification is the first step in the journey toward recovery. Cocaine detox involves clearing your body of the drug and finding effective ways to manage your withdrawal symptoms.

As stated, withdrawal symptoms can be different for everybody and everyone experiences them in different ways.

Some people experience sleep disturbances, including insomnia or oversleeping – as well as strong cravings for cocaine. Finding ways you can manage these symptoms will help you a lot on your recovery journey.

A detox works by stopping cocaine use and attending therapy, counselling and support groups to develop ways to cope with your withdrawal symptoms and cravings.

While withdrawal symptoms generally peak within the first week, some emotional challenges may persist longer. The process can be challenging, and that’s why it’s so important to seek professional support.

This stage of the process focuses on the physical dependence on cocaine, whether it be cocaine in powder form or crack cocaine.

Medical Detox

A medical detox is where you are given certain detox medications that can ease cocaine withdrawal symptoms, helping you on your journey to sobriety. These science-backed detox medications will help you to taper off cocaine safely and manageable.

For many, a medically supervised detox is the best option – this is when you detox under the guidance and support of experienced healthcare professionals.

The main goal of a medical detox is to detox safely and minimise the risks and discomfort associated with withdrawal. You can then seek therapy and attend support groups such as cocaine anonymous, to help manage your cravings and hold you accountable to stay on track of your recovery.

Therapy can help you to address the underlying problems that could have ultimately caused your addiction to spiral in the first place, addressing these issues will help you to recover from them and prevent relapse.

Inpatient and Outpatient Rehab for Cocaine Addiction

When it comes to rehab for cocaine addiction, there are two main types of drug rehab programs available: inpatient cocaine rehab and outpatient cocaine rehab.

Everybody’s recovery journey is unique – some people prefer to recover from addiction at a residential clinic, whereas others prefer to recover as an outpatient.

Inpatient rehab provides a structured environment with 24/7 support, making it ideal if you have a history of severe addiction. Outpatient rehab, on the other hand, allows you to receive treatment while maintaining your daily routines. This is ideal if you’re looking for a little more flexibility.

Support Groups for Cocaine Addiction

Mutual Support groups like cocaine anonymous can be helpful when you complete your treatment plan. It’s important to note that recovery can be difficult without support. Support groups can connect you with other people with similar experiences and challenges as yourself.

Having family and friends around you for support is great and a strong support system in recovery is so important, but they may not relate to you and understand deeply what you're going through, as the people in support groups do.

Cocaine Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous are two popular groups among those in cocaine addiction recovery.

During these support groups, you can share your stories, exchange experiences, and provide/receive encouragement on the path to sobriety.

These support groups are safe spaces where you can deeply open up about your struggles with addiction and come to terms with your feelings.

Therapeutic Support

Psychiatric support plays a huge role in addressing the underlying mental health issues associated with cocaine addiction.

In talking therapies, you will work closely with psychiatrists and addiction counsellors. They can help to treat any co-occurring mental health conditions/ disorders such as depression or anxiety, work on relapse prevention, and teach you effective coping strategies.

Counselling can also help you to understand your addiction triggers, and the root causes of your addiction, and help to build your confidence.

There is a range of therapies used in rehab, such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT), interpersonal therapy, group therapy and one-to-one counselling.

Therapy can vary in cost depending on the nature of the therapy. Our program at Rehubs costs £2795 for a month of intensive online treatment.

You should start by reaching out to your doctor - they can check if there is a serious problem with your health as a result of cocaine use, they will then be able to refer you to the relevant mental health service.
