Cocaine is a powerfully addictive stimulant, an illegal drug frequently abused by people who want to feel the blissful euphoria the drug provides. If you’ve been abusing cocaine, you know how great you feel when you’re high and how dark life feels without the drug. You may realize that you’ve lost contact with friends and loved ones as cocaine overtakes your life. You may feel powerless to stop using and terrified of the consequences of your addiction. You may be a slave to your addiction with room in your life for little else. Life doesn’t have to be this way. You can overcome your cocaine addiction and go on to lead a happy, sober life.

Highland Ridge Hospital has helped many people successfully overcome their addiction to cocaine and maintain a sober lifestyle. You don’t have to be a slave to your addiction any longer— let Highland Ridge Hospital help you reclaim your life.

Helping a loved one or family member get treatment for cocaine addiction

If you’ve been stuck in a holding pattern, watching your loved one spiral downward into coke-fueled binges, you may feel powerless in the face of the addiction. You may want to help your loved one, but are not certain how exactly to go about it. You certainly don’t want to make matters worse. The worst thing that you can do for your loved one is to ignore the problem. Here are some tips for helping guide your loved one into treatment at a center or hospital for cocaine addiction:

Don’t issue ultimatums: While it can be tempting to say “It’s me or the drugs,” in the long run it will not help your loved one, especially if you don’t intend to carry through with the consequences. Recovery from cocaine addiction is not as simple as wanting to stop.

Remind them about sobriety: Remind your loved one about all of the things he or she is missing out on. Talk to them about the things that you miss about them – their art, their music, their love – and remind them that if they get sober, they can have these things back.

Understand addiction: Addiction is a complex disease, not a choice. People who struggle with addiction face much criticism of their disease and you don’t want to play into that. Instead, begin attending N.A. and Nar-Anon meetings so that you’re able to best process what they’re going through as well as your own feelings.

Why seek help for cocaine addiction

If you’ve been struggling with cocaine addiction, you know the toll the drugs have had on your body. You’ve probably developed a tolerance to the coke and need more and greater amounts to feel the same kind of high. You’ve lost many things you once held dear – your relationship with your family, a beloved job, and the relationships that made life worth living. You may be broke, strung out, and miserable, knowing that there’s got to be more to life than this. And there is.

An inpatient program at a treatment center or hospital for cocaine addiction that is based around the 12-step model of addiction recovery is one of the best places to begin your journey. The benefit of an inpatient program at a treatment center or hospital for addiction recovery is the ability to spend time away from the stress, cares, and triggers of everyday life, allowing you to focus on the one thing that matters most – your recovery. Combining inpatient detox and rehab under one roof ensures continuity of care and allows you to focus on the behavioral and other challenges that caused the development of the addiction.

Cocaine abuse treatment options available at Highland Ridge Hospital

When you first come to our treatment center for addiction rehab, you’ll undergo a battery of testing to allow us to best meet and fulfill all of your treatment needs. Our medical evaluation will help us to determine if you are suffering from any medical complications due to your cocaine abuse as well as determine how physically dependent you are on cocaine. The psychological evaluations will let us figure out the emotional component of your addiction and diagnose any co-occurring disorders. The results of your evaluation will allow us to work alongside you at our treatment center to create a treatment plan that works to meet all of your needs.

Detox: If you come to Highland Ridge Hospital addicted to cocaine, the first step in your recovery process will be our humane detox program. Through detox, you’ll rid your body of any drugs or alcohol in your system in a safe, supportive environment. We’ll stabilize you and when you are done with detox at our treatment center, you’ll enter into our addiction recovery program based on the 12-step model for addiction recovery.

Medication may be used at the beginning of your stay at Highland Ridge Hospital to help manage any unpleasant withdrawal symptoms and tapered down as you learn more adaptive coping skills. Other people may require more long-term medication management to help treat co-occurring disorders. Usage of medication while at our center for cocaine addiction will be determined by your treatment team.

Individual therapy is often used to help you work through some of the emotions surrounding your addiction. You’ll work closely with a therapist at our cocaine addiction treatment center to unearth some of the traumas or situations that may have contributed to your addiction.

Group therapy is very important to people who are struggling with getting and staying clean. Through group, you’ll learn from others struggling with addiction and work together to learn, grow, and heal. We offer a variety of addiction-related groups at Highland Ridge Hospital, including A.A. and N.A., as well as process-based and psychoeducational groups.

Family Therapy: As addiction is a family disease, it’s important to include your loved ones in the recovery process. We hold family sessions at our treatment center to allow you to reconnect with your loved ones and allow them to share how your addiction has impacted their life. We’ll also provide your loved ones with referrals to available community resources such as Nar-Anon.

Continuing care at Highland Ridge

As your time at our treatment center draws to a close, you’ll work alongside our discharge planner to create a plan of care for your continued recovery. You may decide that you’d like to continue your care in a similarly structured environment and opt to join a residential treatment program. Others may opt to step down into a structured outpatient program, such as a partial hospitalization program or intensive outpatient program, which will allow for slow integration back into your community. Still others may feel they’ve made enough progress at Highland Ridge Hospital in our treatment program that they’re ready to discharge home with referrals for traditional outpatient therapy and support groups such as N.A.
