Treatment approach
How we treat cocaine addiction.
Medical assessment and personalized care
Detox begins with a full medical and psychological evaluation covering history of use, overall health, and co-occurring conditions.

Our medical team monitors continuously and may use sleep aids, antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, and nutritional support to ease discomfort.
Addressing the psychological side

Frequently asked
Questions we hear most often.
Is cocaine withdrawal life-threatening?
Cocaine withdrawal is not usually physically dangerous, but the psychological effects — including depression and, in some cases, suicidal thoughts — can be severe. Medically supervised detox provides safety and support through that period.
How long do cocaine cravings last?
Acute cravings often ease within the first few weeks, but some people experience post-acute withdrawal symptoms — including lingering cravings — for months. Ongoing therapy and support groups help manage this window.
Is there medication for cocaine addiction?
There's no FDA-approved medication specifically for cocaine use disorder. Treatment centers on therapy, structured support, and management of co-occurring depression, anxiety, or other conditions.
