Cocaine is a powerfully addictive stimulant drug made from the leaves of the coca plant native to South America. Although health care providers can use it for valid medical purposes, such as local anesthesia for some surgeries, cocaine is an illegal and dangerous drug.
At The Palms Recovery, we are committed to helping people overcome cocaine addiction with an innovative treatment plan and the most compassionate care.
As with other drugs, repeated use of cocaine can cause long-term changes in the brain’s reward circuit and other brain systems, which may lead to addiction.
The reward circuit eventually adapts to the excess dopamine brought on by the drug.
As a result, people take stronger and more frequent doses to achieve the same high and feel relief from initial withdrawal.
Cocaine addiction can lead to overdose. An overdose occurs when a person uses too much of a drug and has a toxic reaction that results in serious, harmful symptoms or death. An overdose can be intentional or unintentional.

Getting treatment for cocaine addiction starts with the courageous step of asking for help. The most effective approach is a comprehensive, personalized plan at a professional rehabilitation center like The Palms Recovery.
Our treatment plan is tailored to each individual and typically begins with a medically supervised detoxification to safely manage the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
Following detox, the core of recovery involves intensive therapy. Evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) are crucial for identifying triggers and developing healthy coping mechanisms, while programs like contingency management provide positive reinforcement for maintaining sobriety.
Depending on individual needs, treatment can take place in a structured residential (inpatient) setting for 24/7 support or through flexible outpatient programs that allow one to maintain daily responsibilities. Lasting recovery is also greatly supported by our support groups and ongoing therapy to build a strong foundation for a sober future.
