Cocaine is a powerful stimulant drug with a wide range of euphoric and damaging effects. It is also highly addictive, making stopping the use of cocaine difficult without proper, educated support, both from caring family members and trained professionals. There is nothing easy about overcoming substance abuse or cocaine addiction or its effects on your or your loved one’s mental health, physical health, or daily life. However, treatment is always possible. We at Thrive Treatment can help you take your first step toward effective, comprehensive healing, whether you are overcoming the effects of cocaine addiction yourself or supporting effective treatment for your loved one.
Cocaine addiction comes with a myriad of health risks, damaging the body and brain and impacting daily life and behaviors. However, you do not have to directly observe a loved one using cocaine to see signs of potential cocaine addiction, with the drug having both intense short and long-term effects of its use. Identifying the signs and symptoms of cocaine addiction, either in yourself or a loved one, can be the first step in taking action to overcome substance abuse and pursue a healthy, sober life.
Some of these short-term effects of cocaine use include:
Those under the effects of cocaine may also engage in increasingly risky behaviors or experience compromised decision-making strategies, leading to dangerous situations like unsafe sexual practices or injuries, to legal consequences if driving under the influence of cocaine.
However, the effects of cocaine addiction do not stop when the immediate effects of the drug wear off. Rather, cocaine can continue to impact the brain, body, and daily life. Compromised relationships with family members and loved ones, difficulty tending to responsibilities, decreased workplace performance or attendance, and sudden financial issues are all also common in those living with cocaine addiction.
Likewise, persistent urges, cravings, and mental health disorders can also affect regular sleep patterns, further disrupting daily life. Overcoming these effects of cocaine addiction is challenging, and even those who recognize the need for professional treatment to address their use of cocaine can have difficulty reaching out for help with these challenges. However, overcoming cocaine addiction without educated, professional support can be exceptionally difficult, and Thrive Treatment can provide the resources you need for an effective approach to substance abuse treatment.
Cocaine addiction can continue to affect your health, daily life, and relationships until addressed. Addiction is not a disease that will simply “go away” with time. Committing to treatment and working with a dedicated addiction treatment facility to explore effective methods of support are necessary to treat cocaine addiction and maintain healthy, sober change.
Long-term use of cocaine can lead to a myriad of unique challenges and needs throughout the recovery process. For many, relationships with friends, family, and loved ones can all take a long time to heal. However, there are also many long-term health risks associated with persistent cocaine use. These include:
Mental health disorders can also develop as a result of long-term cocaine use. Anxiety, depression, paranoia, or even psychosis are all possible, depending on the length and frequency of cocaine use and each person’s unique history with the drug.
However, experiencing these long-term effects of cocaine addiction doesn’t mean that anybody is “too addicted” for effective care. Treatment, recovery, and sobriety are always possible with the right support and hard work to overcome cocaine addiction.

There is nothing easy about overcoming cocaine addiction. Finding the right support and treatment program is part of your unique healing journey. Thrive Treatment offers comprehensive, personalized care to meet you where you are in your healing journey, whether you are just beginning to overcome cocaine addiction or looking to further your sober goals as an alumnus. Thrive Treatment is also committed to the entire continuum of care, supporting your sober change from detox and residential care through partial hospitalization programs, sober living, and outpatient care options, each personalized to fit your needs, goals, and personal milestones in a cocaine-free life.
Thrive Treatment has been serving the communities of Los Angeles and the surrounding area of California with high-quality and compassionate care, creating a community that celebrates change, acceptance, and personal healing that goes beyond our walls, with professionals and peers alike available to help support your sober change across Los Angeles.
Thrive Treatment is committed to a holistic approach to care and substance abuse treatment. We combined proven, evidence-based therapy with holistic healing options to treat more than a collection of symptoms but address your personal needs for genuine change. Addiction recovery is a comprehensive effort, treating physical needs, emotional needs, mental health care, and even embracing new life skills, relapse prevention, and tending to social needs for a truly transformative recovery effort. Cocaine addiction is a comprehensive disease, and your treatment should be equally as comprehensive for effective change.
Our residential care program is a curated sober space for you to begin your personalized recovery program. We combine a myriad of amenities and comfort options with 24/7 supervised care to help you understand and overcome the unique effects of cocaine addiction treatment. This safe, sober space also houses a community of like-minded peers and professionals, all working to deconstruct barriers and stigmas and promote a culture of healing, change, and acceptance in sobriety.
Our residential care option also allows you to personalize your treatment by blending experiential therapy and holistic care options with a structured sober routine and daily life, empowering you to focus wholly on your recovery, personal needs, and goals during your stay. You will also live with professionals and sober peers to develop a culture and community that celebrates sober change. While residential care typically lasts about a month, there is no specific “end”
We also offer both partial hospitalization programs (PHP) and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) for even more options in your recovery journey, ensuring that you always have access to professional care at any stage of treatment. These programs are less intense than residential care but still provide support and access to a community of peers to continue navigating your sober journey. Both PHP and IOP can be great options for those who have navigated the challenges of residential treatment and are continuing to manage their daily sober lives, balancing their ongoing recovery with personal goals, life, and professional schedules.
Our PHPs meet five days a week, for about six hours a day, with meeting times that can be scheduled around your working life and personal routine. Joining our intensive outpatient programs allows for even more freedom, meeting at least three times a week for three hours a meeting to continue providing effective support while balancing your daily life in sobriety with responsibilities and personal and professional obligations.
These flexible treatment programs are designed to ensure that you are never left without access to treatment and never feel as if you have to choose between your sobriety and your personal goals.
Drug detox is the first important step toward a cocaine-free life. However, it is also where withdrawal symptoms can be most intense and when relapse is most common. Thrive Treatment offers a comprehensive detox program to overcome this first important stage of treatment, providing emotional support and professional care to begin your journey with the best chances of success possible.
Cocaine detox is difficult, and knowing the challenges ahead is crucial for overcoming them safely and starting your sober journey off right. During cocaine detox, withdrawal symptoms can present immediate difficult challenges to overcome. These withdrawal symptoms include:
Each of these challenges can present intense physical, emotional, and mental strain on your daily life. Having professional support during this time can be necessary to navigate this first important stage of treatment while maintaining a healthy sobriety from cocaine or any other addictive substances for an effective start to your sober journey.
Cocaine withdrawal can be intense. Staying safe and sober during this time is crucial. Thrive Treatment combines proven therapy and support for each of our clients overcoming substance abuse of any kind with professional health care, as well as the use of medications where needed. Medication-assisted treatment, or MAT, in withdrawal and detox, are not replacements for other forms of therapy and support, but they can provide an additional layer of care to navigate this challenging time as you transition from detox to residential treatment and outpatient rehab. Having as many options available during this time can help you navigate this time safely and successfully, starting your journey with the support needed for genuine change.
Cocaine drug withdrawal and detox programs last about two weeks, with medical supervision and care during this time. However, your journey with recovery is not complete at the end of the detox program, and we are available to help you transition to the next stage of treatment for your continued sober journey.
Healing from cocaine addiction is a personal journey, and Thrive Treatment takes a unique approach to your comprehensive healing. Thrive Treatment doesn’t rely on a single modality or approach; instead, we combine various options to empower you to find your unique combination of healing opportunities for effective, sustainable change. Talking to one of our caring professionals about your needs and asking questions about various options and goals for different treatment modalities can empower you to find the strategies that work best for you.
We also focus on the power of a healing community, creating a sober, accepting space that supports Los Angeles and California with understanding and sympathetic care. Thrive Treatments blends individualized personal treatment options with community support and group healing opportunities, from group therapy to experiential therapies, alongside peers and professionals alike, each navigating their own healing journey.
Peers can provide a sense of belonging in your sober journey while providing a wealth of consistent new, effective ideas to help you overcome new stresses and challenges at any stage of your treatment and recovery.
We are also committed to your long-term sobriety both inside and outside of our walls. Thrive Treatment provides ongoing outpatient support while also working closely with The Last House, a sober living community committed to long-term healing and change to ensure that you have the strategies and resources for a sustainable, cocaine-free life. Your time with us is also spent developing personalized and comprehensive life and coping strategies to help you engage in effective mindfulness and grounding techniques and navigate stress for a resilient and effective approach to your continued sobriety.
By combining proven, evidence-based care with personalized healing and self-discovery, you can become your own agent of continued success in sobriety, making long-term, lasting changes for a healthy future.
Healing from cocaine addiction does not begin or end at our walls. Rather, we are committed to your healing and developing a healthy and fulfilling daily life after treatment. Various healing options, alongside an always-available community at Thrive Treatment, ensure that you have the support and care to reach and celebrate new milestones in your sobriety while building new personal, professional, and sober goals in life after treatment.
Thrive Treatment also offers a myriad of events for alumni to support our community across California. Outpatient rehab and dedicated alumni programs help you connect to peers in recovery to share stories and support and continue to build sober relationships in your healing journey. Thrive Treatment approaches healing and sobriety as a team effort, both through our caring professionals and access to peers in recovery.
These alumni events can not just keep you connected to an ongoing and evolving sober community but can also help you continue to develop effective relapse-prevention strategies. While unfortunate, stress, urges, and cravings are common, simply experiencing an urge or cravings does not mean that you have “failed” in your recovery. However, having dedicated strategies to navigate these challenges and focus on sobriety and healing, alongside effective mindfulness strategies, grounding strategies, and support systems, can help you continue to prioritize sobriety and prevent relapse in your healing journey.
We also have a robust aftercare program to address new stresses and develop personal skills for navigating your sober life. Weekly meetings, along with support in life skills like communication, navigating relationships, financial education, and even nutritional guidance, are all part of an effective and sustainable approach to not just overcoming cocaine addiction but creating a truly fulfilling daily life. These can be especially helpful in those continuing to engage in effective family therapy for a holistic approach to change at home, reaching new levels of understanding, sympathy, and forgiveness with family members and support.
You are also never isolated from these resources at any stage of recovery, with in-person and virtual care options available to connect you to the resources and support you need to maintain your healthy transformation. Weekly alumni process groups also help you build resilience while embracing a healthy work-life balance in sobriety, coupled with stress-reduction techniques, yoga, relapse prevention, and more in your journey.
These programs continue to provide comprehensive care in your daily life. Treating the symptoms of cocaine addiction is just part of the journey. Continued individual therapy, group support, and personalized care can be instrumental in continuing to navigate the effects of underlying mental health disorders, emotional needs, stress, and trauma in your daily life.
Overcoming cocaine addiction is a complicated journey, but healing for you and your family is always possible. Call us at Thrive Treatment today to learn how we can support your sober change at (855) 232-1344.
