Cocaine addiction can be a difficult and devastating condition to overcome, but with the right help and support, it is possible to maintain a long-lasting, sustainable recovery. One of the most effective ways to do this is by entering a private residential rehab programme.
In this article, we’re going to be explaining how you can beat a cocaine addiction with the help of private rehab at Acquiesce and what you can expect from the programme.
What is a Private Cocaine Rehab Programme?
A private residential drug rehabilitation programme offers a safe, isolated environment where individuals can focus solely on their recovery without the distractions and triggers of their everyday lives.
How Does Rehab Treat a Cocaine Addiction?
Cocaine Detox
If you’re struggling with a cocaine addiction, you may be wondering whether it is necessary to undergo a detox prior to treatment.
Medical evidence does not support the belief that a cocaine detox is required for recovery. Many medical professionals believe that cocaine detox is not necessary and may even be harmful when completing cocaine addiction treatment.
Cocaine is a stimulant drug which is quickly metabolized by the body. The drug is, therefore, eliminated relatively quickly from the body, so there is no longer a need to undergo a lengthy detoxification. There is also no specific medication or treatment designed to detoxify from cocaine.
Cocaine Addiction Treatment
Lots of people think that if they simply remove the addictive substance from their system that they will be able to quit easily, however, this generally isn’t true for most suffering with an addiction due to the complex nature of the disease.
To understand what is involved in cocaine addiction treatment, you must first understand how an addiction actually works.
How Does A Cocaine Addiction Work?
Addictions often start out with an individual that uses to enjoy themselves, relieve stress or in social situations.
The more regularly the individual takes cocaine, the greater a tolerance they develop, meaning larger amounts of cocaine are required more frequently to feel the same effects it initially produced.
After some time of frequent consumption, the individual may find that they are no longer able to relax, enjoy themselves or destress without consuming high amounts of cocaine due to the way in which the brain’s reward circuit no longer responds in the same way.
This then typically takes a toll on the individual’s mental health even further, resulting in feelings of anxiety and depression, which is often made worse by the crash that follows the comedown from cocaine.
In many instances, they may continue to take even more cocaine in order to avoid these feelings– and the vicious cycle continues.
How Does the Programme Treat Cocaine Addiction?
We will then begin a treatment program tailored to your specific needs. In order to deliver a bespoke treatment plan, it is important for us to understand each individual’s triggers and history, so we can help them to confront them and develop the necessary skills and knowledge to cope in a healthier way.
At Acquiesce, we offer a combination package including a wide variety of therapies, including:
Individual Intervention
Individual intervention is a one-on-one treatment focused on addressing an individual’s specific mental health, triggers, and history. It aims to uncover the underlying cause of addiction and provide the individual with a deeper understanding of their thoughts and feelings.
Group Therapy
Group therapy is a form of treatment that brings together several other peers from the rehab centre who are facing similar issues and promotes healthy positive changes to tackle negative thoughts. The group is led by professionally trained staff and is a great opportunity to support and learn from each other.
12-Steps
The 12-step programme is a highly effective code of behaviour for individuals to live by in order to aid their recovery.
The 12 steps support the individual in accepting that they have a problem and to recognise that there is a solution. It also looks at mistakes individuals have made in the past and how they can make amends.
Motivational Conversations
Help motivate individuals with their recovery, both in centre and aftercare.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy supports an individual in gaining skills, tools and resources to manage their addiction on a day-to-day basis.
It lets them look at the psychological reasons behind their actions and behaviours, and at the relationship between the way they think and their problems with cocaine.
This supports the individual to break the cycle of destructive behaviours and actions and form new healthier habits.
As part of the spiritual and social aspects of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, we offer a wide range of exercises and worships such as yoga and meditation.
Family Support
At Acquiesce, we understand that addiction often has a widespread and rippling effect, impacting those closest to the individual at the centre of the addiction.
The effects of addiction on family and friends can be devastating and lead to a lifetime of hurt and trust issues.
That’s why at Acquiesce, we work alongside families, providing the necessary family support to help rebuild relationships and trust, which in turn gives an individual greater purpose for recovery.
We aim to provide all concerned with a greater understanding of addiction and recovery, helping to demystify any confusion and offer clarity within the process.
Aftercare
As part of our standard aftercare package, you will receive ongoing help and support after completing the inpatient cocaine rehab program at Acquiesce.
During this time, we will keep in close contact with you for the first three months after leaving rehab to help support you with your progress. Additionally, you are welcome to attend our aftercare groups on a weekly basis for as long as you wish.
The above therapies can help individuals understand the underlying causes of their addiction, learn coping mechanisms to deal with triggers and cravings, and develop strategies for long-term recovery.
After the individual completes the residential rehab program, it is recommended that they continue with outpatient therapy, attend support groups, and continue to work with a therapist or counsellor to ensure long-term success.
How to Get the Right Help
It is recommended by the NHS that you seek professional help from a treatment centre when attempting to overcome an addiction to a substance such as cocaine.
That is why our bespoke treatment helps to target the physical, psychological, spiritual and social sides of your addiction using the latest evidence-based interventions, alternative therapies and activities mentioned above, delivered by our highly trained and experienced team.
