Cocaine addiction can put you in dire straits if left untreated, but the good news is that treatment programs (inpatient and outpatient) are more advanced than ever before.

Outpatient cocaine addiction treatment is an excellent option for people who want to quit using cocaine but need the flexibility of a program that can work around their schedules.

Patients in outpatient rehab can keep up with their regular routines and continue to live at home, but they must come in for counseling and medication at the scheduled times.

Many outpatient cocaine treatment programs offer real help to people with all different kinds of addictions and situations.

Learn the various outpatient cocaine treatment programs that are effective and how this treatment differs from inpatient programs.

Types Of Outpatient Programs For Cocaine Addiction

There are various outpatient treatment programs for cocaine addiction, including short-term and long-term counseling sessions.

At a minimum, every outpatient rehabilitation program should aim to help people become drug-free and live fulfilling lives free from substance abuse.

Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP)

A partial hospitalization program is another level of care for people with moderate to severe cocaine use disorders.

PHP programs last from seven to 10 hours per day and often involve cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) combined with 12-step meetings.

Typically, you have between one and two hours of private counseling each day. This program may also require drug testing, a urine monitoring device, or frequent blood draws.

You’ll usually need to abstain from alcohol while in PHP and remain sober when you return home at night.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP)

If you have a heavy work schedule, an intensive outpatient program may be ideal.

In these programs, you may meet in a group setting or one-on-one with a counselor three times per week. These sessions last about six hours each.

Counselors also talk with you by phone between sessions to help keep your focus on recovery and provide support and resources that can be useful during challenging situations.

Outpatient Rehab Services For Cocaine Addiction

Outpatient rehab program services aim to help you live free of cocaine and all other drugs.

These programs allow you to continue living at home while receiving treatment, making it easier for you to maintain your job and family responsibilities.

Here are examples of outpatient rehab services for cocaine addiction:

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

MAT is a form of treatment that uses medications to help you overcome your addiction to cocaine and other drugs.

This treatment plan may involve taking medications such as buprenorphine under a doctor’s supervision to ease withdrawal symptoms or reduce cravings for cocaine.

MAT helps people overcome their addictions while living at home, making it easier for them to maintain family responsibilities and keep their jobs.

It should be noted that there are currently no FDA-approved medications used to treat cocaine drug abuse, just experimental ones.

Detox Programs For Cocaine Abuse

If you’re addicted to cocaine, you may be worried about what will happen when you stop using it. Will your body go into shock? Will you experience painful withdrawal symptoms?

You can get answers to these questions by enrolling in a detox program for cocaine abuse. Cocaine detox is the process of ridding your body of cocaine toxins.

Detoxification helps prepare your body to recover from addiction and minimize withdrawal symptoms so as not to disrupt your life at home or work.

Co-Occurring Disorder Programs

People with an addiction to cocaine who also have other health issues, such as mental health issues, may have to enroll in a co-occurring disorder program.

These programs help treat substance use disorders and concurring health issues (known as a dual diagnosis). That makes it easier for them to recover from both conditions at once.

Support Groups And Counseling

Support groups and counseling can help you stay motivated and focused on your recovery goals.

A support group provides a space for you to share your struggles with other people with addictions or mental health issues, also called group therapy.

Counseling allows you to work one-on-one with a professional counselor who can help you develop strategies to overcome your addiction to drug use and stay sober in the long run.

Aftercare And Continuing Care

If you’re worried about relapsing after completing your treatment program, consider enrolling in an aftercare or continuing care program.

These programs help people stay sober and prevent them from falling back into their old habits by providing support and helping them develop relapse prevention strategies.

Inpatient Vs. Outpatient Treatment For Cocaine Addiction

The main difference between inpatient (residential treatment) and outpatient treatment facilities is that, with the latter, you are not required to stay at a drug rehab center.

Instead, you may be asked to attend sessions at various locations throughout your community.

An inpatient cocaine program is a residential program that requires you to live at an addiction treatment center for a certain period. This may be 30 days to 90 days or longer.

Intensive outpatient programs may last longer than inpatient drug addiction programs.

Inpatient treatment is the most comprehensive, proven-effective care available for people with all types of substance use disorder.

Outpatient care often provides a step-down treatment model to follow inpatient programs. This way, people move through phases of recovery receiving treatment that is tailored to their recovery needs.
