Cocaine Rehab

Every night there are young people attending parties at which they are planning to use marijuana. Some of those young people might even be enticed to smoke crack for the first time. After all, they’re told, crack is a harmless drug that makes people feel a lot better than marijuana. Too bad, it’s a lie.

From that very first smoke or snort, the drug user has opened him or herself up to the possibility of a life-destroying addiction. Statistics show that cocaine addiction is quickly gaining ground on heroin as the most common in the UK. Cocaine is increasingly more popular because it is cheaper than ever before, thanks to the introduction of crack.

Crack cocaine is manufactured by taking free-base cocaine and mixing it with baking soda and water. The drug dealer benefits by having more raw product to sell on the street while the user benefits through cheaper retail prices. Nevertheless, in the end it is a deadly trap that overwhelms thousands of people every year.

Rehab Is the Solution

Our description of cocaine addiction may sound very familiar to you. Perhaps you have gone down the road yourself, and now you find your life being wasted away under the power of that destructive, white powder. Well, we have good news for you: there is a solution in cocaine rehab.

You can break the power cocaine has over your life if you are willing to admit yourself to a rehab programme. Millions around the world have gone before you; millions have been freed from cocaine addiction. You can be one of them by admitting your problem and agreeing to seek treatment.

Understand that cocaine rehab is not pleasant or pretty. In fact, it may be one of the most difficult things you will ever do in your life. However, it is highly successful if you are willing to undergo it. You can break free from cocaine addiction to a life that is both fulfilling and thoroughly enjoyable. You do not need cocaine to supplement your existence.

Please also remember that denying your problem will not solve it. Even though you may think there are other causes for your misery, the real problem is your cocaine use. Cocaine is what has destroyed your family; cocaine is the thing that has eaten up your financial resources; cocaine is the substance that is destroying your physical body.

The solution is not continued denial. The solution is a rehab programme offered by a private residential clinic. We can help you gain admission to such a programme if you are willing to get in touch with us.

The Rehab Process

The rehab process consists of three basic components: detox, residential rehab, and aftercare. We will discuss each one, beginning with detox.

The detox component involves separating the addict from his or her drugs for as long as it takes for their body to completely cleanse itself. Because detox is considered a medical emergency, it is best for the addict to not attempt it on his/her own. Supervised medical help is always recommended.

When appropriate, cocaine rehab might involve medications that take the edge off withdrawal symptoms or act as a deterrent to future drug use. Keep in mind that none of these drugs is a simple and pain-free solution to cocaine addiction. They are merely something that can help the process along.

The second component, long-term rehab, serves the purpose of getting at the deep-rooted psychological and emotional issues linked to cocaine addiction. Long-term rehab can include:

• psychiatric care
• one-on-one counselling
• group counselling and support
• maintenance medications
• life skills training.

Aftercare is the third component to successful cocaine rehab. Aftercare provides follow-up support and services that will hopefully prevent the recovering addict from relapsing. The importance of quality aftercare is easily seen in the relapse statistics. Without it, cocaine addicts are significantly more likely to return to their drugs.

Choosing the Right Rehab Programme

As late as a couple of decades ago, cocaine rehab consisted of one week of detox and a couple of months of outpatient counselling. However, the medical community has come to understand that there is a lot more to it than that. Most importantly, they recognise that a one-size-fits-all strategy is not appropriate.

Cocaine addicts come from all walks of life, all economic backgrounds, all ethnicities, and all religious beliefs. And because each one is different, cocaine rehab needs to be flexible enough to adapt to individual personalities and circumstances. Today’s rehab fits that bill.

For the cocaine addict, choosing the right rehab programme can be a difficult task. The cloudy haze of drug use impairs thinking to the extent that the addict does not really know what he or she needs. That’s the very reason we offer the confidential and free services we do. Our job is to assist cocaine addicts and their families wade through the long list of options to find the right ones.

As an independent referral service, we have access to inpatient cocaine rehab, outpatient programmes, and a full list of services offered by organisations of every size and scope. We can even point you in the direction of free NHS services if that’s all you need.

Private Rehab Services

We must point out that we usually recommend private rehab as the best option. A programme offered by a private clinic is typically based on the 12-step model as well as being residentially based. The combination of both has proven successful time and again.

In terms of the residential focus, a private rehab programme of this nature requires the addict to live at the facility for the duration of the treatment. This enables caregivers the opportunity to focus on treating the addict 24 hours a day, every day of the week. It also prevents the addict from returning to the routine life and circumstances that enable his or her cocaine use.

All of the private facilities we work with are fully certified and licensed. Furthermore, we have a very stringent set of safety and quality standards we insist all of our clinics adhere to. When you work with us, you can rest assured we will help you find a cocaine rehab programme that will deliver on its promises.

If you or someone you love is currently struggling with cocaine, we want to help. Nevertheless, we cannot help until you make the decision to call us or send an e-mail. What are you waiting for? Our staff are ready and waiting to hear from you.
