Make no mistake about it, using cocaine recreationally is like asking to be thrown into the chains of addiction. If cocaine has gotten you under its spell, we at Asheville Recovery Center are here to help you break free.
Perhaps you have tried quitting cocaine on your own, without success. We understand
how frustrating this can be. If you are reading this, know that it’s okay to admit that you
need help. We are here to let you know that you need not disrupt your whole life to overcome your addiction. You don’t need to check in to an expensive inpatient clinic. With our help, you can be successful at conquering your cocaine addiction in a convenient outpatient setting.
Advantages of Outpatient Treatment
Perhaps the biggest advantage of receiving outpatient care to overcome your cocaine
addiction is that you are granted the flexibility to come and go from the treatment center rather than having to take up residence there. Your therapist will set up your treatment sessions, working around your schedule to ensure that you are always going to be able to attend.
Because you will be spending your nights at home, you will be able to benefit from
receiving love and support from those that you care about the most. Many people find
that having this comfort is critical in their overall success with the program.
Another reason to choose an outpatient approach over an inpatient setting is that in
doing so, you will save yourself a lot of money. Outpatient rehabilitation at an addiction
recovery center is far more cost-effective alternative to inpatient rehab. In addition to
this, with outpatient rehab, you will be able to continue being gainfully employed, so you
are not going to lose your weekly paycheck either.
How Is Cocaine Addiction Treated?
You may be wondering if there is a “magic pill” that can be given to treat cocaine
addiction. Unfortunately, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, there are
currently no medications that have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration to treat cocaine addiction. With that being said, research is currently
being conducted to develop a vaccine to reduce the risk of patients developing a
cocaine relapse.
When it comes to treating cocaine addiction, the focus often shifts to behavioral
therapies. One example of this is known as motivational incentives. Patients who have
drug-free urine are granted points, which can then be collected to earn special gifts.
Some examples of items that may be earned include gym memberships and movie
passes.
Another form of treatment that may be used in an outpatient setting is cognitive-
behavioral therapy. This method is helpful in teaching patients how to avoid situations
where they are most likely to use cocaine, and how to stay away from them. Patients
are also taught how to handle problems in a more effective way, that are related to drug
use.
