Cocaine and Meth (Methamphetamine) Addiction Treatment Recovery Center

Inpatient (Residential) Treatment – Inpatient treatment, sometimes called residential treatment, requires patients to stay in a facility for long-term support. Inpatient facilities sometimes include Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) which are most often equipped to provide medically-assisted detoxification or to provide detox support for those who are just beginning their recovery journey. If you’re looking for cocaine rehab, PHP is probably a good place to start.

Treatment of this intensity is designed for people who are just beginning their recovery. Perhaps they have no coping skills, are suffering from mental health conditions that make them more likely to abuse drugs, or are recovering from an overdose. Inpatient treatment centers are the most intense level of care.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) – Usually a person who graduates from a residential treatment program will continue their treatment in intensive outpatient therapy. IOP still gives patients a great deal of oversight and support to help them begin transitioning back into normal life. Patients may continue to attend therapy and meetings every day while still living at home.

A person doesn’t have to begin in residential treatment to enter an IOP. Residential treatment isn’t feasible for everyone due to work or family obligations, so someone who still needs intensive support or who doesn’t have a strong support network at home could benefit from this level of care.

Outpatient Program (OP) – If a person is not in need of intensive care any longer and has a support system at home, they can continue treatment and recovery through outpatient care. This may require a few visits a week or less. This is a transition step to help those in recovery settle back into their normal lives.

A person who isn’t moving from another level of care into outpatient care may just be looking for additional support that their primary therapist cannot provide. Outpatient programs can be a great way to learn skills and form connections to aid in recovery.

Counseling/Therapy – A person who is doing well with their recovery will still need regular contact with a counselor or therapist to hold them accountable and provide them with support on their journey. Hopefully, their therapist has been with them through every stage of treatment and can be a rock that stays with them through each challenge of recovery.

In more than 9 million US adults, addiction is accompanied by other mental health or substance use problems, or multiple mental health problems overlap. This is called a co-occurring disorder. Whether a person turns to substance use because of their mental health problems or they develop mental health problems because of substance abuse, statistically, they go hand-in-hand. 

Regular visits to a counselor or therapist can help a person struggling with addiction to manage their mental health. If mental health problems trigger addiction, then a therapist can help reduce triggers that may lead to relapse and teach coping skills for difficult days.

Medication – Not everyone who decides to stop using cocaine will use medication to assist in their detoxification, but medication is an option to lessen the symptoms of withdrawal and keep them in recovery for longer. 

If not for detoxification, a person may be prescribed medication for their secondary mental health condition to help them avoid triggers and stay in recovery.

12 Step Cocaine Anonymous – A 12 Step program for those suffering from cocaine addiction can provide tangible steps toward recovery and a community of individuals to give life-long support in sobriety. Every US state has a 12-step program and many treatment centers offer 12-step resources for those who ask.
