Cocaine Addiction Treatment and Rehab in Malibu

Conditions We Treat

Cocaine addiction treatment has very general defining characteristics. It is when you move past these general characteristics that you begin to understand the true meaning of the treatment and rehabilitation process.

Generally, all treatments, such as cocaine treatment, are defined as the process of enrolling in some type of program, whether it is inpatient or not, and being given the tools needed to overcome your addiction. However, this definition does not truly define the treatment process because recovery depends on so much more. General drug treatment is not the same as specified cocaine treatment. It is crucial to understand exactly what your addiction is, what your specific needs are, and then come up with a cocaine treatment plan based on those factors.

Cocaine was once used in medicines and tonics, and in the early 1900s the U.S. began restricting it because of its risks. Today it remains one of the most commonly used illegal stimulants: in 2024, about 4.3 million Americans aged 12 or older used cocaine in the past year. If you or someone you love is struggling with cocaine addiction, help is available. Cliffside Malibu offers individualized cocaine addiction treatment in Malibu, California.

What Is Cocaine Use Disorder?

Cocaine is so addictive because it works as stimulation on your central nervous system and affects your receptors. Cocaine usage can affect your physical health, relationship with family and friends, and your financial future. Cocaine is an expensive addiction, which explains its history as a status symbol. Here are some signs of cocaine addiction:

Signs of Cocaine Use

  • Excess energy and inability to sleep 
  • Dilated pupils 
  • Inability to eat 
  • Hiding use or having problems with trust at home
  • Alienating loved ones 
  • Paranoia 
  • Losing a job and inability to work 
  • Persistent sniffles and runny nose 
  • Extreme mood swings 
  • Displays of being in a euphoric state 
  • Extreme confidence 
  • Legal problems due to drug use or possession  

The signs of cocaine use can be extreme, but it can also affect your overall health. Injecting any drug carries a risk of HIV and hepatitis C infection from shared or unsterile equipment. You can lose extreme amounts of weight and suffer from malnutrition. In some cases, using cocaine can lead to an overdose, which can cause death.  

Even though cocaine is extremely addictive, you can seek help and recover. If you suspect someone you love has a cocaine addiction, you need to find help for them at a compassionate and caring recovery center. 

Walking Alongside You in Recovery

Cocaine Treatment and Rehab at Cliffside Malibu

Identifying the triggers and behaviors behind your cocaine addiction is essential to recovery. An inpatient treatment program lets you step away from daily stress and focus on your health. At Cliffside Malibu, therapists carry a caseload of about six patients, licensed nurses are on site 24/7, and our medical team includes psychiatric nurse practitioners. Your individualized plan is built on the Stages of Change model, so treatment meets you where you are.

In private therapy, you’ll examine your behavior and learn new ways of responding to triggers so you don’t relapse. Group therapy, led by a therapist, connects you with others living with a substance use disorder, and you may recognize your own triggers in their stories. Through our Family Immersion program and family therapy, you can start repairing close relationships so you have their support after treatment.

There is no FDA-approved medication specifically for cocaine use disorder. Effective treatment relies on therapy, medical care and treatment for co-occurring conditions such as depression or anxiety. Our private residences also offer discretion for executives, athletes, musicians and other public figures who need to protect their privacy.

Cocaine is increasingly contaminated with fentanyl, a powerful opioid that can cause a fatal overdose, even in people who have never used opioids. If someone who has used cocaine becomes unresponsive or has slow or stopped breathing, call 911 and give naloxone (Narcan) if it’s available.

Cocaine Withdrawal and the Crash

Cocaine withdrawal usually isn’t physically dangerous in the way alcohol or benzodiazepine withdrawal can be. But the “crash” after stopping can be intense. Common symptoms include exhaustion, increased sleep, low mood, anxiety, irritability and strong cravings, and some people feel hopeless. These feelings can make it hard to stay stopped without support.

At Cliffside Malibu, detox is supervised by licensed nurses and physicians who monitor your physical and emotional health and help you through the hardest days. If you or someone you love is having thoughts of suicide, call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, any time.

The Stages of Change Model for Cocaine Use

 At Cliffside Malibu, we base our individualized luxury treatment plans on the Stages of Change model. The Stages of Change model, created by James O.

This means that we meet you where you are mentally, physically and spiritually, helping you to overcome the deep-rooted issues that have caused your addiction to flourish.
