Cocaine Addiction Hotline

Cocaine is a powerful stimulant drug that is highly addictive. It is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance by the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), meaning that while it has some legitimate medical uses, there is a high potential for abuse and addiction.

People obtain cocaine from street dealers and use it for its euphoric effects. Drug dealers often “cut” cocaine, meaning they add other substances like talcum powder, baking soda, and corn starch to cocaine to increase profits. Other adulterants in cocaine can also put drug users at risk. Repeated use of cocaine can lead to a host of physical and mental health problems due to alterations in the structure and function of the brain and body. ^[1]

In 2021, 1.7% of Americans (approximately 4.8 million people) reported using cocaine within the past year. Approximately 1.4 million Americans were diagnosed with a cocaine use disorder in the preceding 12 months. ^[2] Particularly concerning is cocaine use by school students. In 2022, past-year cocaine use was reported by 0.5% of 8th graders, 0.3% of 10th graders, and 1.5% of 12th graders. Cocaine overdoses claimed more than 24,000 lives in 2021.

These worrisome statistics highlight the need for obtaining timely help for problematic cocaine use. If you or someone you love has a problem with cocaine abuse, calling a cocaine helpline can be an important first step towards recovery.

Insurance: Most health insurance plans cover at least part of the cost of cocaine rehab. Call the National Drug Helpline on (844) 289-0879^ℹ to find out more about coverage for cocaine rehab under your insurance policy, including deductibles, co-pay, and out-of-pocket costs.

Call the National Drug Helpline on (844) 289-0879^ℹ if you are feeling alone in your struggle with cocaine addiction.

Cocaine Addiction Treatment Options

There are several steps in cocaine addiction recovery. The first step is usually a medically supervised detoxification (detox), during which a team of healthcare providers helps you safely come off cocaine use. At present, there are no specific FDA-approved medications for cocaine addiction treatment. However, during the detox phase of treatment, medical personnel can prescribe medications to provide relief from withdrawal symptoms. They can also offer emotional support while you overcome cocaine cravings. This high level of care is necessary for your safety and greatly reduces the risk of relapse.

Once the detox is completed, your body is rid of cocaine, and you are stabilized, you’ll start the main phase of recovery, which consists of behavioral therapies. Various modalities like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and contingency management are effective in helping to modify drug-seeking behaviors.

Once inpatient or outpatient cocaine rehab has been completed, there are several aftercare programs available to provide continuing support, for example, support groups. These groups help you maintain abstinence from cocaine. Our cocaine hotline is a great source of support and guidance for people recovering from a cocaine addiction who are seeking advice about aftercare programs.
