Cocaine, a recreational drug, is a physically addictive substance when used regularly. The high achieved during initial usage quickly turns to agitation, insomnia, paranoia and malnutrition. The extreme change in personality makes a cocaine addiction treatment immediately necessary, and cocaine treatment starts with cocaine detox.
Cocaine detox is the first step in any efficient cocaine treatment program. It takes time for the body to rid itself of the cocaine and its residual toxins. Its dependence upon the drug will take time to readjust to life without it as well. During this time-called detox-it can be difficult physically as the body often responds with withdrawal symptoms. Without a solid cocaine detox program environment to back you up with medical, emotional and physical support, the withdrawal symptoms can keep you from wanting to follow through with your recovery. It is for this reason that The Canyon provides a safe cocaine detox program for all those who come to us for cocaine addiction treatment.
A good cocaine detox program provides personal, 24-hour support. At The Canyon, we provide a residential detox, so there is someone there to help you through the rough part any time of the day or night. From the moment you walk through the doors and begin the admission process until long after your last withdrawal symptom has dissipated, you will have the staff support you need.
Secondly, we go to great lengths to make your detox as comfortable as possible. We know how difficult withdrawal symptoms can be and we don't want them to deter you from your goal of living a drug-free life. To this end, we make sure that you have a healthy, nutritious diet and enjoy gentle stretching exercises and long walks to keep as fit as possible. Long-term drug use wreaks havoc on your body and the initial effects of stopping use does not feel good, but by taking care of yourself, you can make it that much easier.
Your mental state is another high priority focus at a cocaine detox program with merit. At The Canyon, there are both group and individual therapy sessions for you to attend if you feel up to it. A strong peer support group and educated staff help you through your detox and your treatment for cocaine addiction.
The Canyon is different from most rehabilitation centers in that our focus are those who are classified as "dual diagnosis." Almost 70 percent of all persons with drug addiction problems have psychological issues as well. Whether it's mild depression or full-blown schizophrenia, any mental issue compounds drug addiction exponentially, making its treatment especially challenging. Go to a treatment center that does not understand dual diagnosis and you risk wasting your money and your time on an incomplete treatment that is sure to fail. At The Canyon, we treat both disorders simultaneously, a treatment philosophy that is clinically-based.
