Cocaine Use and Addiction
Cocaine is a stimulant drug available in powder or rock form (crack cocaine) that is typically snorted in powder form and smoked when crack. Stimulants like cocaine quickly heighten a sense of well-being, euphoria, alertness, and excitement and increase motor activity.
Other adverse effects of the drug include reduced appetite and an inability to have a healthy sleep regimen. Cocaine is highly addictive, but crack cocaine is more powerful and leads to a heightened vulnerability for addiction.
The National Drug Intelligence Center refers to data in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse to report individuals of all ages are using cocaine, with 27,788,000 U.S. residents over 12 years old using the drug at least once in their lifetime. Of those, just over 6 million of the individuals report crack cocaine use. Cocaine Rehab Nashville recognizes the alarming concern that 7% of high school seniors in the U.S. have tried the drug at least once.
To answer the demand for those who seek recovery options for cocaine addiction, we have developed a comprehensive detox and rehab program that addresses every aspect of the addiction. To offer the best chance of a successful recovery, a combination of medical detox, evidence-based therapy, medication, and life skills training is beneficial.
Cocaine rehab relies on a 3 pronged approach to answer the challenges of ending cocaine addiction. Keeping an eye on the goal of thriving in recovery physically, socially, spiritually, and mentally, the treatment team provides continuous support to assist with the ongoing challenges. Individuals move through the process of detox, rehab, and ongoing support, living a sober lifestyle and enjoying continual personal growth.
It is equally essential for individuals to have a robust support system to encourage and reinforce their goals for the future. At Cocaine Rehab Nashville, TN we understand the importance of a supportive environment in the recovery journey, and we are committed to providing that for our clients.
Medical Detox
After deciding to seek help to end cocaine addiction, enrolling in a medical detox program begins with an assessment to design the treatment plan. At Cocaine Rehab Nashville, we understand that each individual’s journey to recovery is unique, and we take a personalized approach to treatment. A healthcare professional must determine several factors in the evaluation to determine the specific needs of each individual.
Physical health factors must be a consideration, as well as the length of cocaine use, the type and administration method of cocaine, and if any mental health conditions are present. Cocaine Rehab Nashville designs a comprehensive plan to introduce the first step of treatment with medical detox, tailored to each individual’s needs.
Challenging physical and mental withdrawal symptoms from cocaine abuse can include:
- Severe craving for cocaine
- Sleep disturbances and nightmares
- Agitation and irritability
- Chronic fatigue
- Anxiety and depression
Residential Cocaine Treatment
Residential cocaine treatment is an option once the medical detox is complete and the body is free of the substance. Completion of detox is a significant accomplishment, but an intensive rehab program must immediately follow. Residential treatment offers the highest level of protection through 24/7 supervision at a level of structure that meets the client’s goals. Residential cocaine treatment builds a strong foundation for a healthy and productive future free from cocaine.
The highlights of residential treatment are:
- 24/7 access to the treatment team, mental and physical healthcare providers
- Safety and security away from temptations and stressful factors
- Peer-to-peer support from others with the same challenges and goals
- Evidence-based therapies and medication-assisted treatment options
- Life skills education for sober living
- Relationship rebuilding options for the support system
Ongoing Care and Support
The time frame for residential treatment differs depending on personal needs, but ongoing support once rehab ends is imperative for continuing recovery. Establishing a transition method is beneficial to maintain momentum in recovery. Several options are available to meet individual needs.
Step-down programs include outpatient options, sober living, and 12-step support groups. Cocaine Rehab Nashville recommends working closely with the treatment team to determine the personal level of care requirements for this crucial transition.
Evidence-based therapies provide the best outcomes for recovery in cocaine rehab treatments. Fortunately, researchers continue to recommend new innovative treatments to add to the base programs.
Holistic therapies are beneficial for building skills to add to coping methodologies and relaxation and breathing techniques to address daily stressors. Options for maintaining ongoing support with 12-step programs, relapse prevention plans, and life skill building are just as crucial for long-term sobriety.
- Individual therapy provides in-depth personal discovery and strategies for healthy and positive coping mechanisms for a sober lifestyle. Highly personal, individual therapy is the first trust-building relationship treatment offers. Working closely to understand why addiction occurs, personal and family dysfunctions, and how to overcome the effects of trauma, individual therapy includes cognitive-behavioral therapy and other types of behavior-driven therapies depending on personal need.
Group therapy allows for building trust and confidence in sharing and communicating personal experiences, weaknesses, and strengths in recovery. Group therapy is often the setting for learning to become vulnerable and start to take down self-protective walls to invite healing and growth.
Family therapy offers relationship education, support for rebuilding damaged relationships, and a sounding board to clear and resolve negativities from addiction. Understanding that addiction is a disease and continuing support is essential for longevity in sobriety builds compassion, empathy, and knowledge within the family.
Aftercare prepares individuals with a relapse prevention plan and expounds upon the benefits of understanding how relapse happens. Preparation is beneficial for recognizing triggers that could initiate thoughts of relapse and bracing for what a high percentage of those in recovery experience.
Sober Living Environments
Sober living environments are a consideration for the initial transition from rehab leading to the goal of independent living. Sober living homes offer a lower level of supervision but continue with the support of peers who experience life early on in sobriety.
Requirements include work, education, continuing therapy, and sometimes outpatient care. Recovery is a process that presents different challenges for each individual. Remaining cautious and using the tools available to maintain sobriety can lead to a lower risk of relapse and the opportunity to build personal growth and meet specific goals.
Many sober living have a connection to the community with beneficial opportunities for educational classes, volunteering opportunities, and occupational openings. These benefits may get lost when individuals move straight into independent living and appear more difficult to identify.
Taking advantage of programs that lead to personal accomplishments is not a show of weakness. Instead, it is a sign of personal growth and initiative in learning to accept help and the support of those who understand the recovery process.
