Cocaine Detox and Drug Addiction Treatment Program
Cocaine addiction is a severe psychological condition that requires comprehensive treatment and support. At Dunwoody Recovery Place, our cocaine detox program is designed to help individuals safely withdraw from cocaine while addressing the underlying factors contributing to their addiction.
What Our Cocaine Detox Consists Of
Our approach to cocaine detoxification includes:
Medical Supervision: Ensuring safety and comfort through 24/7 medical monitoring to manage withdrawal symptoms.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): While there are no FDA-approved medications specifically for cocaine addiction, medications may be used to treat withdrawal symptoms such as depression and anxiety.
Behavioral Therapies: Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and other modalities to help modify the patient’s thinking, behaviors, and emotional responses associated with cocaine use.
Relapse Prevention Education: Skills training and strategies to cope with cravings and avoid triggers.
The Need for Cocaine Detox
Cocaine is a powerful stimulant that affects the central nervous system by increasing levels of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and movement. Regular use can lead to tolerance, dependence, and a strong psychological addiction.
