Cocaine Detox

Cocaine addiction causes widespread damage to the individual’s relationships, family, and professional lives. Cocaine is by far one of the most addictive substances available and it does not take long before the person may feel the need to use it more often, resulting in abuse and addiction. When someone is dependent on cocaine, they cannot stop or lessen use without suffering from physical, and psychological withdrawal symptoms. Therefore, some users might continue to use even if they want to stop. The risk of relapse following the decision to quit using cocaine is very high, especially when withdrawal symptoms are at their most intense point. As symptoms subside and the individual begins to stabilize, the risk of relapse lessens, and the user will begin to recover. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the very first step to getting sober is to make the decision to remain abstinent from cocaine abuse. Following that brave decision, and discontinued use, the individual will begin the arduous process of cocaine detox, during which a wide range of symptoms will pose challenges in terms of remaining abstinent and sober. So if you or someone you know is struggling with cocaine addiction, do not hesitate, reach out to our cocaine detox center in Nashville, Tennessee where help is available 24/7.

Symptoms and Signs of Cocaine Withdrawal

Someone who is consistently abusing cocaine and then stops abruptly, or seeks to lessen their use is going to experience withdrawal symptoms. The symptoms suffered will be dependant on the severity of their habit. Factors like how much they used, how often they were using, how long and how much the individual was using will all come into play. As is the case with many other drugs, the heavier the use, the more severe the withdrawal symptoms will be. Withdrawing from cocaine causes a number of physical and psychological effects, including the following:

Physical Symptoms:

• Fatigue
• Chills
• Sweats
• Tremors
• Muscle pain
• Nerve pain

Psychological Symptoms:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Problems concentrating
• Anhedonia, the inability to derive pleasure from activities once enjoyed
• Suicidal thoughts or behaviors
• Nightmares
• Slowed cognition

Withdrawing from cocaine can be completed through outpatient services, however, given how challenging and uncomfortable these symptoms can be, it is recommended the detox take place in a professional setting like our cocaine detox center in Nashville. Detox can also cause the patient to suffer adverse mental health responses, so it is advised that they proceed under medical supervision. Doing so can not only help provide these individuals with the appropriate health care, but it can also encourage them to continue through the withdrawal process instead of turning to cocaine use again.

What To Expect At Our Cocaine Detox Center

Here at JourneyPure, we feel entering into our cocaine detox center is the best and most effective way to withdraw from cocaine. While cocaine withdrawal is certainly not easy to get through, receiving the appropriate controlled medications designed to help ease symptoms can help the process along so that further treatment options can be pursued. Medications can be an effective tool in lessening the severity of the effects of withdrawal. Propranolol is a beta-blocker that has been approved to treat hypertension and angina, it is often prescribed to treat anxiety and related psychological problems. One of the major concerns with cocaine withdrawal is the risk of a person developing serious anxiety and depression, which could lead to suicide. If anxiety and restlessness are reduced, then the individual could potentially overcome other withdrawal symptoms more easily. Additional medications that may be used;

• Anti-nausea medications
• Antidiarrheal medications
• Natural sleep aids
• Nutritional support
