Cocaine abuse and addiction is a complex problem involving biological changes in the brain as well as a myriad of social, familial and environmental factors. Therefore, treatment of cocaine addiction is complex, and must address a variety of problems. The strategies of Executive Recovery of Cocaine assess the psychobiological, social and pharmacological aspects of the patient’s drug abuse. It is important that patients receive services that match all of their needs. There have been many advances in identifying and testing new cocaine treatment medications. Although there are no medications currently guaranteed to treat cocaine addiction specifically, Executive Recovery of Cocaine has at least three marketed medications that show promising signs of effectiveness. Because of mood changes experienced during the early stages of cocaine abstinence, anti-depressant drugs, used in conjunction have shown to be of some aid.
Many behavioral treatments have been found to to be effective for cocaine addiction, including both residential and outpatient approaches. Integration of both medical and behavioral treatments is the most effective. Relapse prevention is addressed as part of treatment at Executive Recovery of Cocaine as we communicate with individuals about handling the possibility of relapse. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a focused approach to helping cocaine-addicted individuals abstain-and remain abstinent from cocaine and other substances. We help patients recognize, avoid and cope with situations in which they are most likely to use cocaine and manage their problematic behaviors associated wtih drug abuse. Every area of their lives is explored and enveloped with a new sense of understanding, perception, and strength.
There is no clear cut, simple answer to how and why drug habits occur. Our role at Executive Recovery of Cocaine is to peel away the layers and get to the core of each individual’s beliefs and instill a new foundation from which to function, adapt and flourish.
