Cocaine Addiction Treatment in Florida

Florida’s Cocaine Problem

It is no surprise Florida has a cocaine problem. Cocaine use, sales, and possession carry severe consequences. Cocaine is classified as a schedule II drug and can come with a felony in many situations. Some people in Florida have been charged 20+ years for trafficking cocaine. Cocaine-related offenses are taken seriously in Florida. This is for good reason. Cocaine comes with societal costs that are to big to bare. Families are torn apart, jobs are lost, and people's lives are ruined from cocaine's consequences.

Symptoms of Cocaine Use

There comes a point when a cocaine user develops a cocaine disorder - addiction. A compulsive need develops, and despite the consequences, the drug is used habitually. Cocaine is highly addictive and short-lived. This drives users to use largest quantities with shorter time frames in between each use. Ultimately a user needs more and more of the substance to get high. Cocaine will start to ruin personal relationships, work, and a users health. Physical signs of cocaine use can include dilated pupils, restlessness, and frequent nose bleeds. Emotion symptoms of cocaine use can include anxiety, paranoia, mood swings, and depression.

Withdrawal symptoms are physical and psychological while going through a cocaine withdrawal. Symptoms can include but are not limited to extreme fatigue, increased appetite, insomnia, and nightmares that tend to be vivid. Psychological symptoms such as cravings, anxiety, and irritability can last a couple weeks to a couple months. We recommend a COCAINE DETOX where you know you are in good hands in these difficult early stages of recovery.

Quitting Cocaine

Can You Quit Cocaine Cold Turkey?

The intense cravings and dependence makes quitting cold turkey extremely difficult. Cocaine is a highly addictive drug, but detoxing is different from alcohol or opiates. Cocaine does not typically come with life-threating symptoms, but they are severe. These symptoms include depression, anxiety, irritability, and relapse. The challenge is getting through the withdrawal period while resisting the drug as the drug will end the withdrawal symptoms. We highly recommended detox to help manage withdrawal symptoms and provide you with the support you need.

Can You Quit Cocaine Without Detox?

Technically, yes. Detoxing off cocaine is often not necessary and will put you through needless suffering. MANY INSURANCES cover detox and Florida offers numerous detox programs. Detox is a critical first step in recovery. While cocaine detox is not life threatening it is extremely uncomfortable and comes with some of the most severe psychological challenges cocaine's users have ever faced.

Quitting Cocaine Without Rehab

What about after detox? Is that all that's needed. Maybe.. for some. Not for many though. While some individuals are able to quit cocaine without attending a formal rehab program, this approach proves to unsuccessful in the long term. Long term recovery rates are low for those who don't attend rehab. It's important to note that DETOX IS NOT REHAB. Detox addresses withdrawal symptoms, but the underlying psychological triggers have been untouched. That said, many people who split after detox find themselves relapsing. Florida Treatment Center provides a structured environment for those who are struggling with cocaine. Our programs include therapy, counseling, and support groups that help understand addiction and avoid relapse.

Quitting Cocaine for Good

Once the drug is out of your system you can start your long-term recovery process. This involves addressing root causes for your addiction. It requires a cocaine user to identify triggers, avoid them, and build new habits. Florida Treatment Center offers 30, 60, and 90 DAY treatment programs that help cocaine addicts break free. Our treatment center includes individual and group therapy, CBT, and relapse prevention programs.

How to Help Someone Addicted to Cocaine

When people hide their drug use it can leave us questioning if our loved one is addicted to cocaine and/or other drugs. You may notice your loved one lying, isolating, paranoid, or moody. Physical signs can include weight loss, nosebleeds, and dilatated pupils. If you notice financial problems, legal issues, or school/work challenges it maybe a result of drug use.
