Cocaine Rehab in Atlanta

Cocaine addiction robs people of their ability to excel at work, and in school, and enjoy healthy relationships with others. It also keeps them from enjoying a future that includes reaching new goals. It also causes tremendous physical and mental health damage. 

Retreat of Atlanta created our Atlanta cocaine rehab to help people overcome the power this drug has over them. Our powerful detox program sets the stage for learning to conquer triggers to use cocaine and begin to put a person’s life back together. We also provide residential treatment that begins right after detox concludes. Both levels of care offer comprehensive care from skilled and dedicated addiction specialists.

We also provide prescription medications to help alleviate withdrawal symptoms. Retreat of Atlanta helps people leave cocaine addiction in the past and embrace a sober new life.  

What is Cocaine Addiction?

Cocaine is a powerful drug that can cause a person to begin an addiction to it from the first time they use it. Cocaine is made from the leaves of the coca bush that come from South America. It comes in many forms, including ones you can snort, smoke, or inject.

Under the Controlled Substances Act, cocaine is classified as a Schedule II drug. This means it has a high potential for abuse. 

When someone uses cocaine, it triggers the release of a feel-good chemical called dopamine. A high is produced that is short-term and leads to the individual wanting more and more of it. Thus begins the cycle of doing coke repetitively in pursuit of always staying high. Once addiction sets in, the person will need to attend a quality Atlanta cocaine rehab.

Our Atlanta Cocaine Rehab Programs

When someone needs Atlanta cocaine rehab, they start by attending a cocaine detox program. This lasts about five to seven days and provides the all-important support necessary during the challenging first days of not using coke. During detox, medical support is provided to ensure the person’s safety. Medications can be supplied to help minimize medical withdrawal symptoms, as well as psychological ones like anxiety and depression.

Following detox, the person enrolls in a residential program. This immediate transition often takes place under the same roof, making it easy to continue the valued help begun during detox. The individual attends different types of therapy designed to help them understand the origin of their addiction and how to overcome it. Any necessary prescription medications can be continued to help alleviate withdrawal symptoms that still occur.

Signs and Symptoms of Cocaine Addiction

  • Withdrawal symptoms when not using the drug
  • Trying to quit using cocaine but not being able to do it

How Addictive Is Cocaine?

A reliance on cocaine can start from the very time a person uses it. A newcomer will feel intense feelings of pleasure and euphoria, vigorous energy, and often an increase in sex drive. All of these prove tempting to experience again. Tolerance to cocaine occurs quickly, causing a person to think they can control their usage without realizing when it spirals out of control.

Cocaine dealers often mix it with dangerous items like household cleaners. They also frequently add other types of drugs that are also addictive, which causes an increased chance of the person developing another substance use disorder.

How Long Does Cocaine Addiction Treatment Last?
