Cocaine addiction is a complex, debilitating illness that can leave you without a social network, financial security, or the ability to function in day-to-day activities. Many individuals addicted to cocaine fail to seek treatment due to the stigma, the worry of being seen as weak, and fear of negative judgment from others. Despite failed attempts, many people feel they can get sober on their own. Inpatient detox and treatment for cocaine addiction is one of the most effective ways to get and stay sober.

Types of Therapy Used to Treat Cocaine Abuse at Abilene
The best approach for treatment of a substance abuse is a combination of medication management and therapies to overcome the behavioral challenges of addiction. We have a number of specialized treatment options for substance abuse and addiction.
When you come to us, you’ll be carefully assessed to determine your needs. This will include a psychological assessment to determine the presence of co-occurring mental disorders as well as a physical assessment to determine the levels of drugs in your system. We will also determine if you are suffering from health-related concerns. If necessary, we will completely detox you in a safe environment under the supervision of our medical team. We will provide medical management for any health problems you’re experiencing.
Our dual diagnosis program is perfect for many people who are addicted to cocaine and is based on the 12-step model for addiction. We encourage continued participation in A.A. or N.A. as you continue your recovery journey.
Medication may be used when you are actively detoxing from cocaine to reduce the severity of withdrawal symptoms and allow you to focus on your recovery. Some individuals may require longer term medication management to manage any co-occurring disorders.
Individual therapy is used as a time for you to meet with a therapist to discuss your cocaine addiction and the problems it has caused in your life. You will work to identify solutions to your problems as well as learn more effective coping skills. Individual therapy is often a combination of CBT and REBT. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify, evaluate, and replace maladaptive substance use related beliefs.
Rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT) focuses upon on eliminating the maladaptive beliefs behind cocaine abuse through developing insight. You will learn to accept your addiction as it is without attributing it to a permanent problem. The goal of REBT is to eradicate rid of the beliefs that lead to cocaine addiction.
Group therapy is an important part of the recovery process at Abilene. Process groups allow you to work through your issues with the support of others who have similar issues. Psychoeducational groups focus upon teaching relevant information such as how substances affects the brain and relapse prevention.
In addition to standard therapy approaches, we offer several experiential programs. These include:
- Recreational programs
- Spiritual counseling
- Art therapy
- Music therapy
- Yoga
