Cocaine Addiction Treatment
Cocaine dependence changes how the brain handles reward, motivation, and stress, which is why stopping on your own is so difficult. At Merritt Recovery, treatment moves from safe medical detox through structured therapy and into long-term aftercare, giving you or your loved one steady support at each stage of recovery.
How Merritt Recovery Treats Cocaine Addiction
Cocaine withdrawal looks different from what many people expect. The body does not always produce the dramatic physical symptoms seen with alcohol or opioids, but the crash can bring heavy fatigue, low mood, poor sleep, and strong cravings that pull you or your loved one back toward use.
Treatment starts with a clinical assessment that determines the right level of care. When withdrawal needs medical oversight, supervised detox comes first. From there, care continues through residential programming or an intensive outpatient program, depending on your needs and daily responsibilities.
Cocaine use often runs alongside depression, anxiety, or trauma. We treat those conditions together with the addiction, not one after the other, because lasting recovery depends on addressing both at once.
Therapies We Use
No two people arrive with the same history, so each care plan is built from the therapies that fit the diagnosis in front of us. That usually means individual sessions grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy, the shared accountability of group therapy, and family support for the people closest to you. When it is clinically appropriate, medication-assisted treatment is added to steady the process.
