Cocaine addiction treatment at The Hope Institute is an outpatient program for adults with stimulant use disorder. Because no medication is FDA approved for cocaine, treatment is behavioral: cognitive behavioral therapy, contingency management, and counseling across partial care, intensive outpatient, and outpatient levels. We treat co-occurring conditions and work with most major insurance plans.
If you’re struggling, we’re here to help, and reaching out is the first step toward a life that feels lighter and more your own. Call (855) 659-2310 today and take that first step with a team that listens without judgment.
Signs and Symptoms of Cocaine Addiction
Cocaine addiction is a stimulant use disorder marked by compulsive use despite harm, driven by the drug’s short, intense high and the crash that follows. Because the high is brief, use often comes in binges, which accelerates dependence.
Common signs include using more than intended, intense cravings, money or work problems tied to use, secrecy, and mood swings between euphoria and low mood. Physical signs can include restlessness, reduced appetite, and disrupted sleep. Cocaine use frequently occurs alongside alcohol use and conditions such as depression and anxiety, which is why treatment addresses both together.
Understanding Cocaine Withdrawal and Detox
Cocaine withdrawal is primarily psychological rather than physically dangerous, which sets it apart from alcohol or benzodiazepine withdrawal. Symptoms center on a crash: fatigue, heavy sleep, increased appetite, low mood, and strong cravings, and in some cases depression severe enough to bring suicidal thoughts that need clinical attention.
No medication reverses cocaine or treats its withdrawal directly. Care during this phase is supportive: monitoring mood and safety, treating co-occurring depression or anxiety, and stabilizing sleep and nutrition while cravings ease. The highest relapse risk is during the crash, when cravings peak.
Detox services are not offered at our facility. When detox is necessary, we refer you to a reliable detox partner, then deliver the outpatient care that guides you from withdrawal toward long-term recovery. Starting structured treatment promptly, while support systems are active, is what truly makes the difference.
Cocaine Addiction Treatment Options
Cocaine addiction is treated with behavioral therapy, because no medication is FDA approved for stimulant use disorder. The strongest evidence supports contingency management, which reinforces drug free milestones, alongside cognitive behavioral therapy. Medication has a role only in treating co-occurring conditions like depression or anxiety, not cocaine use itself.
Treatment combines cognitive behavioral therapy, group therapy, and individual therapy. CBT identifies the people, places, and feelings that trigger use and builds skills to manage cravings without relapse. Group and individual sessions reinforce accountability and address the patterns underneath compulsive use.
Our Cocaine Treatment Programs
For cocaine addiction, The Hope Institute offers a continuum of outpatient levels, so care matches clinical need at each stage. Treatment is delivered while you live at home, not as an inpatient stay.
The levels of care for cocaine recovery are:
- Partial Care (PHP), structured daytime treatment for people who need intensive support but return home each evening
- Intensive Outpatient (IOP), several clinical sessions a week built around work, school, or family
- Outpatient (OP), ongoing counseling at a lighter weekly schedule as recovery stabilizes
- Aftercare and 12-step support, continued groups and planning after structured treatment ends
Most people begin at the level that matches the severity of their use and step down as they stabilize.
Cocaine Use Treatment for Co Occurring Conditions
Cocaine addiction often occurs alongside other conditions, and treating them together produces better outcomes than treating either alone. Many people who use cocaine also use alcohol, and many live with depression, anxiety, or trauma that use both masks and worsens.
Our dual diagnosis care treats mental health and substance use in the same plan, with the clinical team coordinating therapy and any psychiatric care. Addressing the underlying condition lowers the cravings and relapse pressure that come from self-medicating.
Admissions Process and Insurance
Most major insurance plans cover outpatient cocaine addiction treatment, and we verify your benefits before you start so you know your coverage up front. Coverage and out of pocket cost vary by plan, and our team confirms the details directly with your insurer.
To get started, submit the insurance verification form on this page or call us. Private-pay options are available for people without coverage or who prefer not to use insurance. We keep the process straightforward and confidential.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a medication for cocaine addiction?
No. There is no FDA approved medication for cocaine or stimulant use disorder. Treatment is behavioral, using cognitive behavioral therapy, contingency management, and counseling, with medication used only to treat co-occurring conditions like depression or anxiety.
How is cocaine use disorder treated?
Cocaine use disorder is treated with structured behavioral therapy across outpatient levels of care. Treatment combines CBT, group and individual therapy, and relapse prevention, delivered through partial care, intensive outpatient, or outpatient programs based on severity.
Is cocaine withdrawal dangerous?
Cocaine withdrawal is mainly psychological rather than physically life-threatening, but it can bring severe depression and cravings that need clinical support. The crash phase is when relapse risk is highest, so beginning treatment with support in place matters.
How long does cocaine treatment take?
It varies based on severity and the level of care, and is set by clinical recommendation rather than a fixed calendar. Outpatient programs are structured around daily life, so treatment continues while you keep up with work or family.
Does insurance cover cocaine rehab?
In most cases, yes. Most commercial plans cover outpatient addiction treatment, though coverage varies by plan. We work with most major insurance plans and verify your benefits before you start, free and confidentially.
Do you treat cocaine and alcohol use together?
Yes. Many people who use cocaine also use alcohol, and we treat both in one plan alongside any co-occurring depression or anxiety through dual diagnosis care.
