Warning signs
Signs that use has taken over
Tolerance builds over time, so people often need more to get the same effect. These signs point to a need for assessment.
Overdose risk
Mixing cocaine with other drugs
Combining cocaine with alcohol, marijuana or opioids raises overdose risk, and the mix is hard to predict. If someone is unresponsive or struggling to breathe, call 911.
How treatment works
Therapy first, with care for the whole person
Withdrawal from cocaine brings low mood, anxiety, irritability, fatigue and strong cravings. These can last for weeks or longer, which is why steady support matters.
Cognitive behavioral therapy
Builds skills to spot and interrupt triggers and cravings.
Motivational interviewing
Helps clarify personal goals and the reasons for change.
Contingency management
Uses structured rewards to reinforce progress.
Dual diagnosis care
Treats depression, anxiety or PTSD alongside the substance use.
Options include residential treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient and outpatient care, with group counseling and holistic support such as mindfulness, yoga and nutrition. The level of care is chosen at intake.
