Cocaine Addiction
Cocaine is a highly addictive stimulant with terrible consequences for users and those closest to them. We provide comprehensive, evidence-based care that addresses addiction's physical, emotional, and psychological aspects.
What are the dangers of being addicted to cocaine?
Legal consequences: Involvement in drug-related activities, such as possession or distribution, can lead to legal troubles, criminal charges, and potential incarceration.
Impact on career and education: Cocaine addiction can negatively impact work performance, academic achievements, and career prospects, potentially leading to job loss, academic failure, and reduced opportunities.
Social stigma and isolation: The social stigma associated with cocaine addiction can lead to isolation, shame, and difficulties in seeking support and treatment.
Escalating tolerance and dependence: Over time, individuals may develop a tolerance to cocaine, requiring larger amounts to achieve the desired effects. This can lead to increased drug use, dependence, and difficulty in quitting.
Relationship problems: Cocaine addiction can strain relationships with family, friends, and partners, resulting in broken trust, conflict, and social isolation.
Health consequences: Cocaine addiction can lead to severe health issues, including cardiovascular problems, respiratory complications, strokes, seizures, and neurological damage.
Mental health deterioration: Prolonged cocaine use can result in the development or worsening of mental health conditions such as anxiety disorders, depression, paranoia, and psychosis.
Increased risk of overdose: Cocaine overdose can occur, leading to life-threatening symptoms like heart attacks, seizures, respiratory failure, and even death.
Financial strain: Maintaining a cocaine addiction can be financially devastating, as individuals may spend significant amounts of money on acquiring the drug, often leading to financial difficulties, debt, and financial dependency.
Impaired judgment and risky behavior: Cocaine addiction can impair decision-making abilities, leading to engaging in risky behaviors, such as reckless driving, unprotected sex, or involvement in criminal activities.
What are the signs and symptoms of cocaine addiction?
Behavioral changes: You might notice abrupt and unexplained shifts in your behavior, such as increased restlessness, impulsivity, or secretive actions.
Physical effects: Cocaine can cause noticeable physical changes, such as weight loss, dilated pupils, runny nose, or nosebleeds. You may also experience increased energy and decreased appetite, leading to changes in your appearance and overall health.
Financial difficulties: Addiction can be financially demanding, leading to unexplained financial strain, borrowing money, or selling personal belongings to sustain the habit.
Neglecting responsibilities: Individuals battling cocaine addiction often neglect their responsibilities at home, work, or school. Your performance may decline, and you may show a lack of interest or commitment.
Relationship strain: Addiction can strain relationships, causing conflicts, broken trust, and communication breakdowns. You might become distant, irritable, or unreliable, leading to strained interactions and emotional distress.
Legal troubles: Involvement in illicit drug activities can expose you to legal consequences. Legal troubles may arise due to possession, distribution, or engaging in risky behaviors associated with drug use.

Our Approach to Cocaine Addiction Treatment
We understand that every individual is different, so we ensure each program is individually developed to meet your needs. At the core of our treatment is a supportive community that will be there for you throughout the recovery process. We’ve learned individuals thrive by participating in group therapy, team-building activities, and open communication.
We go beyond the residential program, committing to support each individual before, during, and after treatment. We understand that recovery is a continuous journey, and we provide ongoing assistance. This includes connecting each individual with local resources for community reintegration, facilitating access to supportive meetings, and arranging outpatient treatment for sustained progress. Our unwavering dedication ensures we are by your side every step of the way.
What to Expect During Treatment
Initial Contact
The hardest part of overcoming your addiction is admitting you have a problem. Sometimes, that admission can come internally during a candid moment. Other times, you can tell that your addiction or abuse affects your marriage, job, or something else dear to you.
That’s why we’re available to answer questions about the process, services, and more. We can understand what kind of care you need and what you’re looking for.
Detox
After admission to our facility, you might be going through withdrawal symptoms. We’ll be there the whole way, with close medical monitoring and specialized medication, exercise, and nutrition change.
Rehabilitation
As your time at our facility progresses, withdrawal symptoms may lessen, but that doesn’t mean we can relax. This is the time to build you up and set physical and mental health goals. Through our programs and specialized treatment programs, we can help you move along.
Post-treatment Support & Outpatient
Just because you walk out the door doesn’t mean our work is finished. Once you’re nearing the end of treatment, we’ll build a discharge plan for you. You’ll know all the medications you need, what doctor’s appointments to expect, and everything you need afterward.
Length of Cocaine Treatment
Our cocaine treatment program is designed to be eight weeks. That is the average time that individuals stay, but the time may vary depending on you and your progress.
Some people stay shorter, and others stay longer. It varies on a person-by-person basis. Our goal is to help you become and STAY clean when you leave our center.
The Family Program for individuals in residential treatment is two days during the middle of your treatment stay and will be scheduled by the counselor based on your individualized needs. Family members to attend is defined by the client and can include other people that are their sober support. The Family Program is a counselor-facilitated program that provides families an opportunity to communicate and begin the healing process with education lectures and group counseling for the family and the client.
The Family Program is in addition to family visitation, which occurs during the eight weeks treatment stay. Family and other support people will be able to visit each Sunday afternoon for connection time.
Cost of Cocaine Treatment
Treatment cost varies based on length of treatment stay, whether an individual needs withdrawal management (detoxification) and cost of medications.
We work with most insurance providers in the US to provide you with the necessary support and tools to recover.
We can refer you to options for Idaho residence to cover the cost of treatment based on eligibility.

Do you or someone you know need help?
Addiction is a chronic disease, much like asthma, hypertension, diabetes, cancer, and many others. If you were diagnosed with stage 1 cancer, would you not seek some form of treatment to prevent it from getting worse? You don’t have to be at rock bottom to need treatment. Get help before it gets out of hand. If you are at rock bottom or have a severe diagnosis, it’s never too late to get the help you need.
