Understanding Cocaine Addiction Treatment
Cocaine is an illegal drug made from the coca plant and classified as a stimulant. Dopamine [1], known as the feel-good neurotransmitter, is released in the brain at unhealthy levels with the ingestion of cocaine. Initially, it creates an energy boost. Eventually, the body adapts to the increase, and a user’s body will need increased dosages to reach the desired effect. It is very addictive and leads to serious medical problems and severe emotional dysfunction. Cocaine has contributed significantly to the drug epidemic in the US and has claimed countless lives due to overdose and other chronic diseases.
Avenues Recovery is a center that provides drug detox rehab and a residential treatment program to those suffering from cocaine addiction. Treatment plans are tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual and overcome cocaine side effects. A great effort is made to create a warm and welcoming community. Instead of being judged and put down, Avenues’ clients will rediscover the power of their potential and develop the tools needed for real-life success. Our staff is chosen carefully for their ability to blend experience, expertise, and unending empathy and compassion. Cocaine addiction is an illness that can be managed with the proper tools and skills. At Avenues Recovery we show you how.
Why Choose Cocaine Rehab at Avenues?
Getting treatment for cocaine addiction is the most important step toward lasting recovery. Ignoring cocaine's effects can be fatal.

Treatment is absolutely imperative.
Choosing a Cocaine Treatment Facility
Discovering a cocaine addiction treatment provider that will recognize each specific client’s needs and understand the individual’s struggle is the key to affecting real change. If you or your loved one is fighting cocaine addiction, the first step is the positive decision to take on the underlying factors contributing to addiction. A commitment to substance use treatment will provide the tools and skills to achieve tangible success and lasting sobriety.
Avenues Recovery Centers, located around the United States, has developed an all-encompassing treatment program to help our clients unlock their potential. Treatment at Avenues begins with 24-hour care while undergoing detox and moves to residential programming once cocaine has left the system and the initial withdrawal is safely completed. We are guided by the unmovable principle that everybody is capable of living a meaningful and productive life, their past challenges notwithstanding.

Hearing Your Voice, Understanding your Personal Struggle
From the moment clients join the Avenues family, we strive to foster an environment where they are unafraid to share their struggles. Hearing the individual voices of the person we are committed to serving, and genuinely understanding their personal battlefield, are perhaps the most important elements of designing a treatment for cocaine addiction that will give them the absolute best chance at a sustained positive outcome.
Cocaine Treatment Planning
Every piece of information handed to our intake professionals is included in a personalized plan for our clients. But we don't stop at intake! As our client progresses through the phases of treatment, our staff is constantly observing what components of treatment are making an impact and what needs to be adjusted. Close collaboration from the clinical director, with therapy group leaders and individual counselors, allows real-time analysis of client progression or regression and the appropriate countermeasures. Nothing is left to chance and great effort is expended to make sure no element of treatment falls through the cracks. We are completely invested in our clients' recovery and well-being.
Involving Family In Cocaine Abuse Treatment
Involving family in their loved ones' cocaine addiction treatment is a core principle of Avenues philosophy. The unconditional love and encouragement that family members and close friends can provide must be utilized to motivate clients. We reach out to those closest to the people in our care for their invaluable insight into the best way to reach clients. Family counseling and therapy sessions are available completely free of charge and we greatly encourage involvement. A path to long-lasting sober living is possible only with a full partnership of family and clinical staff.
