Cocaine addiction can take over your life in ways you never expected. This stimulant creates both physical and psychological dependence, making it feel impossible to stop. Our experienced medical team provides safe, compassionate cocaine detox services designed to help you reclaim your life and begin lasting recovery.
Understanding cocaine addiction
Cocaine rewires the brain’s reward system, driving intense cravings and compulsive use. Whether it’s powder cocaine or crack cocaine, repeated use quickly leads to dependence.
Signs of cocaine addiction include:
- Intense cravings that dominate your thoughts
- Using more than intended or more often than planned
- Inability to quit despite negative consequences
- Neglecting work, relationships, or responsibilities
- Continuing use despite health problems
- Spending large amounts of money on cocaine
- Feeling unable to enjoy life without it
If this sounds familiar, know that cocaine addiction is a medical condition—not a moral failing—and professional care can help you break free.
The risks of quitting without medical support
While cocaine withdrawal is not usually physically life-threatening, the psychological effects can be severe. Without medical detox support, relapse, self-harm, or worsening mental health symptoms are real risks.
Cocaine withdrawal symptoms may include:
- Severe depression or hopelessness
- Extreme fatigue and exhaustion
- Intense cravings
- Anxiety or panic attacks
- Irritability and mood swings
- Disturbed sleep or vivid dreams
- Increased appetite
- Difficulty concentrating
- Suicidal thoughts or behaviors
These symptoms can persist for weeks or months, which is why medically supervised detox is the safest choice.
Cocaine withdrawal timeline
Every person’s detox looks different, but most follow a general pattern:
- First 24–72 hours: Cravings, anxiety, fatigue, and mood swings set in
- Weeks 1–2: Symptoms peak, with sleep issues, appetite changes, and depression (sometimes severe)
- Weeks 2–4: Emotional instability and lingering cravings gradually improve
- Months 2–6: Some may experience post-acute withdrawal symptoms (PAWS), including mood swings, “brain fog,” and sleep problems
Knowing this timeline helps prepare you for the process and highlights the importance of ongoing support.
Our comprehensive detox program
Medical assessment and personalized care
Detox begins with a full medical and psychological evaluation. We consider your history of cocaine use, overall health, co-occurring conditions, and treatment goals to create a plan tailored to your needs.
Inpatient vs. outpatient detox
At Hickory Grove Recovery, inpatient detox provides the highest level of safety and structure. You’ll stay in our Morrilton center with 24/7 care, away from outside triggers.
Outpatient detox may work for those with mild dependence and strong support at home, but relapse risks are higher. For most, residential care is the best way to start recovery.
24/7 support and symptom management
Our medical team monitors you continuously and provides medications when needed to ease discomfort. Supportive care may include:
- Sleep aids for restlessness
- Antidepressants for mood stabilization
- Anti-anxiety medications
- Nutritional support and hydration therapy
We keep you safe, supported, and as comfortable as possible throughout detox.
Addressing the psychological side of cocaine addiction
Cocaine use often overlaps with depression, anxiety, trauma, or other mental health conditions. Our team provides dual diagnosis care with psychiatric evaluations and therapy for co-occurring disorders.
During detox, you’ll begin developing coping strategies through:
- Individual counseling sessions
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Group therapy with peers in recovery
- Stress management and mindfulness practices
- Education about addiction and relapse prevention
These tools form the foundation for long-term recovery.
A healing environment
At Hickory Grove Recovery, you’ll find peace and privacy in a setting surrounded by Arkansas’s natural beauty. Our residential facility offers:
- Comfortable private and shared rooms
- Nutritious meals prepared daily
- Welcoming common areas for connection and support
Isolation is common in cocaine addiction, but here you’ll discover that you’re not alone. Peer connections often become a vital source of encouragement during and after treatment.
Preparing for life after detox
Detox is just the first step. Before discharge, we’ll help you create an aftercare plan, which may include:
- Outpatient counseling
- Participation in support groups like NA or SMART Recovery
- Ongoing medication management for mental health needs
- Regular check-ins with your treatment team
- Relapse prevention planning and trigger management
Family therapy is also encouraged to repair relationships and strengthen your home support system.
Insurance and financial options
Finances shouldn’t stand in the way of care. We work with most major insurance providers, offer flexible payment plans, and may have financial assistance available for those who qualify.
