Treatment+Options

It is highly difficult to stop using cocaine without professional help. For those who seek cocaine addiction treatment, promising treatments are used, including cognitive behavioral therapy, a collaborative treatment for cocaine addiction involving a close partnership between therapists and addicted individuals. Residential and outpatient treatment programs cover many aspects of addiction.

These programs may include;


 *  medically supervised cocaine detoxification (detox)
 * group and individual counselling


 * family therapy


 * 12-step program meetings


 * relapse prevention


 * after-care  programs.

Medical researchers are also currently working to develop pharmacological options for cocaine addiction treatment. People who don’t voluntarily seek cocaine addiction treatment can still be helped with their drug addiction. Often intervention is a useful part of chemical dependency treatment, especially with a highly addictive drug such as cocaine. Intervention by friends and family can help addicts face their drug addiction while giving them the encouragement they need to stop using drugs. Often, when an individual seeks treatment for addiction, family members can also benefit from programs offered in an addiction treatment center. When family members understand how to help their loved one, the addicted person’s chances of recovery increase.
