Cocaine Rehab UK

Cocaine abuse can lead to serious health problems and mental health issues. Here at Action Rehab, we are dedicated to helping people find the best cocaine rehab programme to suit their needs.

We can help you find the best rehab available near your location or arrange a move “out of town” so you can get away from all the local temptations and the network you belong in where cocaine may be easily accessible

Why Is Cocaine Addictive?

Cocaine is a highly addictive substance and one that can have a devastating impact on your life. We

The moment you take cocaine, you experience a sudden rush of adrenalin, causing blood flow to the brain to increase. This makes you feel increased confidence and happiness, but these effects soon wear off as you ‘come down’ from the experienced ‘high’ and buzz of energy.

Cocaine is so addictive exactly because of the feelings of intense excitement and happiness that it gives a user. Some cocaine users report feeling ‘unstoppable’ when they take the drug. It heightens all senses, meaning a user feels more active and alert. The drug changes dopamine levels in the brain, and you feel good about yourself for a period of time.

Dopamine is a hormone that regulates your sense of happiness and well-being. Over continued use, a person addicted to cocaine becomes used to continually rising dopamine levels. Dopamine levels drop as the drug wears off, causing intense cravings and the user to take another hit to prolong the effects of happiness. This can lead to a vicious cycle of cocaine addiction, which is difficult to break.

We are here to help people find a cocaine rehab in the UK and have a record of successfully treating clients across the country.

Cocaine is an Increasing Issue in the UK

Data released by DrugWise revealed that the number of people starting addiction treatment in 2021 to 2022 with cocaine addiction increased by 11% (from 19,209 to 21,298). This highlights the extent of cocaine addiction in the UK.

Drug addiction can happen to anyone, and despite the social stigma, approaches to cocaine addiction treatment are changing for the better. Cocaine abuse is also commonly used alongside other substance addictions, with 15% of people receiving treatment for alcohol addiction also saying they had a problem with cocaine.

Cocaine drug addiction is best treated in a private residential rehab, and at Action Rehab, we can help you find the right cocaine rehab clinic in the UK that suits your needs and budget.

If you have abused cocaine to the point where you feel it has taken over your life, it is time to seek treatment.

 

Signs and Symptoms of Cocaine Addiction

Cocaine symptoms will differ between individuals depending on the amount of cocaine they are consuming and how long they have been using it. Symptoms can develop over a period of time and may not be apparent straight away to family members or friends.

Many people often misjudge addiction for some other issue or personality trait. If your Son or Daughter has been acting out of character, you could be forgiven for thinking other issues in their life are impacting them, such as their relationships with friends or partners.

It is easy for a cocaine addict to say, “I’m just fed up with my job”, as a way to cover any depression they are feeling after coming down from cocaine.

However, there are common behavioural and physical signs you can look out for if you suspect a loved one is suffering from addiction. These include:

• Insomnia
• Paranoia
• Financial Issues
• Restlessness
• Irritability
• Depression
• Loss of appetite
• Nosebleeds
• Nasal Damage
• Mood swings
• Agitation
• Brief states of euphoria
• Social withdrawal

Unfortunately, cocaine addiction can often be found alongside other addictions and mental health issues. Some people can also become addicted to multiple substances, such as alcohol and cocaine, in comorbidity.

When you are around somebody, and you know they are drunk or have a drinking problem, they may not shy away from hiding a drink bottle as it is deemed as socially acceptable to drink in front of other people.

But snorting cocaine or smoking cocaine is not socially acceptable, so this will be done out of sight and can be easily missed.

 

What To Expect at Cocaine at Rehab 

Cocaine addiction can be successfully treated, and many cocaine addicts recover through inpatient treatment.

As part of your treatment for cocaine addiction, you will undergo a medically supervised detox period. You do this by immediately halting consumption.

Within the first 24 hours of doing so, it is normal to feel cocaine withdrawal symptoms and intense cravings as your body has grown used to frequent cocaine use. You may become moody, agitated, angry, confused and even experience suicidal thoughts.

This is just the same when you are not in rehab and can not afford or get access to cocaine. The difference here is that when a user has money, they will go and purchase more cocaine, and the cycle will begin again.

At rehab, we are going to help you quit taking cocaine for good. This will mean you have to move through the detox period, but you will be under professional supervision.

Your safety will be a priority at rehab and under the guidance of our psychologists and councillors, you can break through all the challenges you will face mentally.

This is normal and part of the rehab process. Some people do feel like they can not see it through, but these thoughts are only temporary. Throughout the detoxification process at our rehab clinics, you or a loved one will be under constant supervision and benefit from this guidance.

 

Professional Detox Supervision

Staff at our rehab centres are highly experienced in helping patients deal with the psychological trauma associated with cocaine detox and any other withdrawal symptoms you may experience.

As cocaine is a psychologically addictive substance, simply undertaking cocaine detoxification will not be enough to help your addiction disappear over the long term.

Your intense cravings for this highly addictive substance and the desire to abuse it will still be apparent after detox, which is why rehab addiction therapy is important to prevent relapse.

Many treatments undertaken in cocaine rehab are psychological in nature, with a strong focus on counselling and addressing the mindset of recovering addicts.

Changing how recovering addicts think about cocaine and their previous cocaine dependence is important. This will help them develop coping strategies to deal with their cravings when they are at their strongest.

Common therapies used by many rehab clinics that have proven to be effective include:

• Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
• Group counselling and speech therapy
• Fitness therapy
• Diet and health workshops
• Drug awareness workshops
• Private 1:1 counselling
• Hypnosis
• Dialectical behavioural therapy
• Art therapy
• Meditation
• 12-Step work
• Relapse prevention programmes
• Support groups
• Relapse-prevention aftercare programmes

A crucial part of inpatient treatment is changing how patients feel and think about cocaine and how addiction has impacted them. Depending on the patient’s mental health, some people recover more quickly in this aspect than others.

At our private rehab clinics, we assign a personal counsellor or support worker to work with you; you and your family members can speak to them on a daily basis with any questions or concerns.

When in rehab for cocaine addiction, our patients will work with addiction specialists to understand their drug-taking behaviour and identify its causes and triggers to help shape a relapse prevention plan.

Other mindfulness and holistic therapies, such as meditation and yoga, help patients address their cravings and help keep their minds occupied while undertaking treatment. Of course, every person is different, and we will work with you to find the best therapies to help your specific circumstances.

Some of our drug rehab clinics offer hyperbaric oxygen therapy to repair damaged blood vessels. This depends on the individual case being treated and whether the cocaine addiction is considered severe enough to constitute such a therapy.

Following rehab, many patients follow a 12-month aftercare programme, with a strong focus on support groups and regular counselling meetings. Help for cocaine addiction is available, and treatment programmes can help you lead a healthy life.

We also work with local treatment advisors like cocaine anonymous, and these can be used to enhance your support network after rehab further.

 

Treatment Settings for Cocaine Addiction

If you are struggling with a cocaine addiction, it is important that you consider all treatment options.

Outpatient Treatment

Local outpatient treatment is available to help you overcome cocaine addiction and can be a good option if you do not have a severe or long-term addiction to the drug.

Free outpatient treatment such as Narcotics Anonymous or Cocaine Anonymous (CAOK) group sessions can help you overcome cocaine addiction in your local area.

You can find information about the dates and times of local support group meetings on the CAOK website.

Whilst outpatient rehab can be secured through your GP, results can vary. This is in part mostly due to the fact you are not removed from your current environment and surroundings.

If your friends are still taking cocaine whilst you are trying to quit, it can become much harder.

In addition to this, you do not have full-time supervision from professional support workers and are left to deal with the mental challenges you will faces going through detoxification.

This can also be extremely challenging for family members. Of course, they are going to be worried about your condition and mental health but withdrawing from cocaine can also make people extremely irritable.

The best place for everybody in terms of a patient’s health and the family’s peace of mind is in a dedicated rehabilitation clinic under full supervision.

Inpatient Rehab Treatment

Residential rehab for cocaine addiction is an intensive and successful form of addiction treatment. Staying in a private rehab centre for recovery enables you to relax, experience leading addiction treatments and have 24/7 support from recovery workers and medical professionals.

Staying in a cocaine rehab centre also provides you with an escape in a safe environment away from triggers and unhealthy routines at home. You will be carefully monitored throughout your stay at rehab, and your safety and well-being will become our priority.

You will receive a range of addiction therapies, support during cocaine withdrawal and aftercare.

Residential rehab centres provide the best opportunities for a long-term recovery as you will undertake intensive therapy not accessible under outpatient settings.

 

How Long Does Cocaine Rehab Take?

Counselling and therapy sessions in rehab for cocaine addiction can typically last anywhere from two weeks to a month, depending on the patient’s needs. The longer a client invests in residential rehabilitation, the better the results they can expect to achieve for cocaine addiction.

People can often feel the urge to leave rehab after they have experienced a couple of dry days. But we would totally advise against this. To give yourself the best chance of making a long-term recovery, you need to see the programme through.

 

How Much Does Cocaine Rehab Cost?

The cost of cocaine rehab varies depending on factors such as the length of treatment, the rehab facility which is chosen, prescription medications required and any additional needs.

Rehab programmes typically cost around £8000 for a full treatment programme, including 1 year of aftercare once treatment has ended.

The cost of rehab also includes all housekeeping, residential stay, addiction treatments, medications, nutritional meals cooked by an onsite chef, and facilities.

 

Funding Options for Rehab Treatment

Some of the main options for rehab treatment include private healthcare insurance and personal funding.

We accept payments from private insurance companies, which include rehab treatment in their cover. This can be a great way to fund private rehab.

Using savings for payment is also a common funding option used by our residents. Although inpatient rehab is a more expensive form of treatment, it is an invaluable investment into your well-being.
