Cocaine Addiction Treatment | Cocaine Rehab and Cocaine Detox

Recognising the need for help and seeking it is the first step towards cocaine recovery. However, this is often the most difficult part, especially if you’re struggling with denial about the gravity of your situation. To help overcome this denial, ask yourself the following questions that could point to your need for cocaine rehab:

• Are my relationships strained or damaged due to my cocaine use?
• Has my physical or mental health deteriorated because of cocaine?
• Have my attempts to quit using cocaine been unsuccessful?
• Is my job performance or educational attainment suffering due to cocaine use?
• Do I experience cocaine withdrawal symptoms or intense cravings when I stop using the drug?
• Have I neglected important areas of my life in order to use cocaine?

If you answered ‘yes’ to these questions, it’s time to consider getting professional help at a cocaine rehab centre.

As your body begins to adjust to the absence of cocaine, you may experience a range of cocaine withdrawal symptoms. These are your body’s response to the sudden discontinuation of the drug, and while they can be uncomfortable, they are a normal part of the detox process. Common cocaine withdrawal symptoms include:

• Agitation and restlessness: One of the first cocaine withdrawal symptoms you might experience is a sense of restlessness or agitation. This can present as unease, irritability, or an inability to relax or sit still.
• Depression and anxiety: The abrupt discontinuation of cocaine can often lead to feelings of sadness, depression and anxiety. These mood changes are due to the chemical imbalance in your brain as it adjusts to the absence of cocaine.
• Fatigue or extreme tiredness: As your body recuperates from the exertion of cocaine use, you may feel excessively tired or fatigued.
• Increased appetite: A common symptom of cocaine withdrawal is an increase in appetite. This happens as your body attempts to restore itself to a healthier state.
• Low energy: You may also notice a marked decrease in your energy levels and physical activity as you go through cocaine withdrawal.
• Unpleasant dreams: Vivid or distressing dreams or nightmares are also common during the cocaine withdrawal process.
• Difficulty concentrating: As your brain adjusts to the lack of cocaine, you may have trouble focusing or thinking clearly.
• Cravings for cocaine: Perhaps one of the most challenging cocaine withdrawal symptoms is an intense desire to use cocaine again. These cravings can occur randomly and may be triggered by certain situations or emotions.

Throughout your cocaine detox process at Recovery Lighthouse, our medical professionals will be available round the clock to manage these symptoms effectively and ensure your comfort and safety.

Recovery Lighthouse’s inpatient rehab treatment programme is designed to provide you with a safe, structured and highly supportive recovery environment. Inpatient cocaine rehab offers several advantages, including:

Round-the-clock medical support

During the initial stages of drug rehab, particularly the cocaine detox phase, you may experience withdrawal symptoms that can be challenging and, in some cases, dangerous to manage alone. Our team of dedicated healthcare professionals is available 24/7 to monitor your condition, manage any complications and ensure you remain as comfortable and safe as possible throughout your recovery. This continuous support can be immensely reassuring during this difficult time.

Removal from triggers

Cocaine use often involves triggers in your environment or daily routine that can prompt drug-seeking behaviour. In an inpatient cocaine rehab setting, you are removed from these triggers, helping reduce cravings and the risk of relapse. This gives you the opportunity to focus entirely on your recovery journey, without the temptations or distractions of everyday life.

A structured routine

Inpatient cocaine rehab provides a structured daily routine, complete with therapy sessions, meal times, recreational activities and rest periods. This helps restore a sense of order and normalcy to your life, something that is often disrupted by cocaine dependency. It also keeps you engaged and focused, leaving little time for thoughts of cocaine use.

Peer support

Group therapy sessions provide a platform to share experiences, exchange coping strategies and offer mutual support. This sense of community can foster understanding, reduce feelings of isolation and motivate you to remain committed to your cocaine recovery journey.

Access to a range of therapies

Our comprehensive rehab treatment programme provides access to a wide range of proven therapies. From one-on-one therapy sessions to group therapy, from evidence-based practices from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to holistic therapies like yoga and mindfulness—these diverse therapies work together to address the multifaceted nature of your condition and enhance your chances of long-term sobriety.

At Recovery Lighthouse, we are dedicated to illuminating your path to a sober future. Our cocaine rehab programmes can help you put cocaine use behind you and get you started on your journey towards a healthier, happier life.
