Cocaine Addiction in Georgia
According to the Georgia Department of Public Health, in 2019 cocaine was the second most commonly cited primary drug among those admitted to substance abuse treatment programs in Georgia, accounting for 22% of all admissions. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation reported that in 2020, cocaine was the second most commonly seized drug by law enforcement agencies in the state, accounting for over 12% of all drug seizures. Cocaine use is illegal in all forms in Georgia.
Signs of Cocaine Addiction
Symptoms vary by individual, but generally include behavioral symptoms (lying about whereabouts, failing to curtail usage, increased energy, reckless behaviors, borrowing or stealing money), physical symptoms (rapid heart rate, high blood pressure, dilated pupils, nosebleeds, loss of appetite), cognitive symptoms (poor decision-making, euphoria, restlessness, irritability, psychosis), and psychosocial symptoms (agitation, depression, mood swings, withdrawal).
Our Cocaine Detox Center in Georgia
The first step on the road to recovery at Southeast Detox is medical detoxification. Withdrawal symptoms from cocaine can vary in severity and duration and can include intense cravings, irritability, fatigue, depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbances, as well as tremors, sweating, chills, nausea, and vomiting. In more severe cases, seizures or hallucinations may occur, but these can be managed and minimized with proper care and support.
Our Cocaine Addiction Treatment Program in Georgia
We combine evidence-based practices with holistic therapies to create an individualized treatment plan for each patient, spanning Detoxification, Inpatient, Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), Outpatient Treatment, Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP), and Sober Living.
Our Inpatient Treatment Program
We offer inpatient treatment (also known as residential treatment) that provides 24/7 care to safely support individuals at the beginning of their journey toward recovery from cocaine abuse. We recommend it for anyone battling a severe addiction, who has repeatedly relapsed, lacks a supportive sober environment, has co-occurring mental health conditions, or has unsuccessfully tried other forms of addiction treatment.
Our Intensive Outpatient Program
Our intensive outpatient program (IOP) bridges the gap between cocaine addiction treatment and the real world, with weekly individual therapy sessions and opportunities to attend meetings and seek employment.
Our Outpatient Program
Our outpatient treatment program (OP) supports our clients’ transition into greater freedom while maintaining the foundational skills learned in our intensive outpatient program, with an evening weekly schedule that allows clients to maintain employment.
Our Partial Hospitalization Program
Our PHP meets from 9 am to 4 pm Monday through Friday, providing structure around the clock at a more affordable price, with gender-specific groupings and daily intimate therapy sessions available.
Continuing Recovery Through Sober Living
Our sober living homes provide 24-hour support, access to job training and education, and a nurturing community, with structured living, curfews, weekly community meetings, daily 12-step meetings, and random UA and BA testing.
Behavioral Therapies for Cocaine Use
We use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Contingency Management (CM), and Family Therapy to help individuals develop improved coping skills, increased self-awareness, and reduced cravings and triggers.
Georgia Cocaine Abuse Support
Georgia Recovery is a free peer-to-peer support group. Atlanta Area Cocaine Anonymous provides free 12-step meetings. The Georgia Council for Recovery and Georgia Overcomers also provide support and services to individuals affected by substance abuse.
