What is a Cocaine Detox Program

A cocaine detox program refers to the process involved in helping a person become completely substance-free. A cocaine detox program aims to minimise the danger and, where possible, alleviate the unpleasantness by carefully managing the withdrawal symptoms experienced when cocaine use is stopped.

Why attend a professional cocaine detox program?

The process of cessation from cocaine can be extremely uncomfortable. Some cocaine withdrawal symptoms include agitation, depression, intense craving, extreme fatigue, anxiety, angry outbursts, lack of motivation, nausea/vomiting, shaking, irritability, muscle pain and disturbed sleep. There is no formal cocaine detox program, but the person still needs to become substance-free, and so a cocaine detox programme would focus on making the initial period of cessation as comfortable as possible.

A medically supervised detox in a residential cocaine detox program is the safest and most effective way to become substance-free. Admission to a residential cocaine detox programme can also increase the chances of recovery and reduce the likelihood of relapse.

What types of treatment centres run cocaine detox programs

A residential cocaine detox rehab program differs from other treatments in that it is more intensive. The residential aspect of the treatment means that the person is given some time away to really focus on getting themselves better. Another advantage of a cocaine detox rehab programme is that the person is in a therapeutic environment surrounded by professionals that will make the process as easy as possible. Triage Healthcare works with a large number of facilities offering a residential cocaine detox rehab program throughout the UK. All our workers and treatment facilities are registered with the appropriate professional bodies.

It is possible to access private overseas services. This option can be particularly appealing to those individuals who have already accessed help in the UK with limited success. By travelling overseas to access a cocaine detox rehab program, the person is completely removed from their problematic surroundings. Overseas treatment can also represent better value for money in some cases.

It is also possible to access free NHS services. Whilst it would clearly be preferable to receive treatment without having to pay for it, it is important to remember that there is an imbalance between availability of addiction treatment in the NHS and the demand in the community. Therefore, there can often be long waiting lists involved when trying to access the NHS options.

Not everyone will be in a position to access residential treatment privately or be offered it on the NHS. For those in that position it can be easy to lose motivation and become frustrated with the situation. We know the challenges faced when trying to access NHS treatment. We can offer advice on alternative treatment options as well as offer support and encouragement during this time.

How long could treatment at a cocaine detox program take?

The duration of treatment in a cocaine detox rehab program will vary depending on the severity of the situation and the physical well-being of the person with the addiction. The initial detox period for cocaine is typically up to two weeks in length, or more in extreme cases.

Once the person becomes completely free from cocaine, a cocaine detox rehab programme will focus on the psychological side of the dependence. This will usually combine several types of therapy; some examples are group therapy, one-to-one therapy, educational seminars, and personal reflection. It is important that the person learns to understand the addiction and the reasons behind it in order to avoid relapse once they have left treatment. Typically a complete cocaine detox rehab program will take between 6 and 12 weeks.

How much does a private cocaine detox program cost?

Triage Healthcare recognises that there is a deficit in the provision of affordable private treatment for addictions in the UK. High quality free advice and information is provided to all, as well as best-value private treatment to individuals with a limited budget. If you arrange treatment through Triage Healthcare you will never pay more and in some cases you will pay less for residential treatment than by booking direct with a treatment centre.
