Cocaine Addiction Treatment

Cocaine misuse in South Africa continues to grow due to its commercial popularity through mainstream media, such as movies and music. In pop culture and party culture, cocaine has become synonymous with celebrations, teen rebellion, high energy and performance.

Cocaine is a popular party drug and can be spotted in many a bar, clubs, outdoor festivals and nightlife districts. The drug goes by many names and can be referred to as one of the following by those who use slang terminology:

  • Coke
  • Flake
  • Snow
  • Big C
  • Coca
  • Charlie
  • Blow
  • Bump
  • Woolly
  • Bernie’s gold dust
  • Nose candy

Cocaine is considered highly addictive and is associated with numerous mental and physical health problems. A cocaine addiction harms a person’s body, mind, well-being and plans for the future.

However, with the proper treatment, many people can overcome their cocaine addiction. In recovery, people can learn to live free from cocaine once again and recover the person they truly are and focus on ambitious goals that provide for a fulfilling life.

If you, or your loved one, are currently struggling with a cocaine addiction, you are not alone. Every year new cases of cocaine dependency are reported in South Africa; sadly, very few seek out treatment immediately.

Seek out help for Cocaine addiction

While cocaine in its purest form can be harmful enough to one’s body and psyche, many cocaine users in South Africa are not using pure cocaine and may expose themselves to a host of additional chemicals that have different adverse effects.

Regardless of the type of cocaine addiction you are battling, you can get professional help through our private rehab facility at one of The Cedars rehabilitation facilities across South Africa.

We specialise in treating a wide variety of addictions, especially addiction to cocaine and illegal drugs, as well as prescription medication. To help you make a full recovery, we will first carefully assess your condition before providing an individualised course of treatment in our comfortable facilities that offer a tranquil place for you to work through our program.

Treating your Cocaine addiction

Your addiction treatment will include a medical check-up and stabilisation medication where required. This process will help to minimise your withdrawal symptoms and make the process as painless as possible.

Along with a comprehensive rehabilitation programme that will care for your overall mental health and identify the root cause of your addiction, and tackle it.

During rehabilitation, you will also be provided with various tools to help you achieve long-term sobriety so that once you’re back home, you have the mental clarity and recovery information to avoid relapsing

treatment phases & length

Primary Phase

This initial treatment phase forms the foundation of our highly effective addiction treatment program. Our primary treatment programme covered by medical aids is 21 days. The recommended treatment term at The Cedars is 90 days for the best possible outcome. True behavioural change takes time and practice, and it is our fervent belief that adhering to the recommended treatment term offers the client the best chance at sustained recovery. However, we have no rules about length of stay and our program is customized per individual. After abusing substances over a period of years, it can take the brain at least a month to return to the best possible cognitive functioning, where treatment efforts can be of maximum benefit.
After a physical health assessment, a customised medication assisted stabilization plan will be drawn up by our medical doctor and nurse to help clients abstain from substances safely and as comfortably as possible. The client begins one-on-one counselling, 12-Step treatment, group therapy and benefits from a healthy diet and regular exercise. Clients will usually complete the first three steps of the 12-Step program in primary care.

inclusions

  • Daily group-based therapy including interactive, discussion
    and focus groups
  • Regular individual therapy sessions with a counsellor

Secondary Phase

In the secondary phase, clients undergo a deeper exploration into the root cause of the substance abuse and other compulsive, self-defeating behaviour. They work hand-in-hand with our expert team to work through the balance of the 12-Steps, using the steps to process the damage and unmanageability their behaviour and substance abuse have caused in their lives, and the lives of their loved ones. They rely on their counsellors and the therapeutic community to identify their self-defeating behaviour and work towards change.
Clients are gradually given more responsibility in the community and given the opportunity to become role models and help the newer clients in their early process. Focus is put on discipline and routine, growth and responsibility, all to develop connection and self-worth. At the end of this phase, discharge planning and relapse prevention tools are explored, and short and long term goals are determined for when the client leaves treatment.

inclusions

  • Daily group-based therapy including interactive, discussion and focus groups
  • Regular individual therapy sessions with a counsellor
  • Counselling sessions and assessments with a psychologist
  • Educational workshops about addiction related topics

Tertiary Phase

During this final phase, our clients learn how to maintain their life in recovery, prevent relapse and reintegrate into society. Counsellors help the client prepare for a return to employment and family life. Important choices may need to be made that are most beneficial to sustaining long-term recovery. It’s also an opportunity for the client to take up a senior role in the therapeutic community, explore employment options and resolve any persisting behavioural addiction issues in the safest possible environment. Clients are given more freedom and responsibility and are able to work during the day and return in the afternoon.

inclusions

  • Accommodation and meals
  • Weekly check-in groups
  • Check-in sessions with their counsellor, by appointment
  • Weekly 12 Step meetings

Addiction Treatment

post treatment support

When a client completes treatment, we are very sensitive to the fact that life in recovery is filled with challenges. At The Cedars, we have a number of structures in place to ensure the safest possible transition for clients from treatment and back into life.
We offer family workshops to educate families about the realities of addiction, and how to help their loved ones on their journey. We offer the client deep insight into the 12-Step fellowships, meetings and sponsorship – all vital to an ongoing recovery.
Our multi-disciplinary professionals are available to you when your loved one is ready to move into the next chapter. We are here to help you learn and grow throughout the process.
