Cocaine Rehab for Women: One Step at a Time

Women of all economic classes, races, and ages use cocaine. Some shoot it, others snort lines, still others smoke it in powder form or in the form of crack. However you use it, the result is the same: a terrifying addiction that is impossible to break alone.

Cocaine Rehab and Withdrawal

Most women who resist cocaine rehab harbor fears about the initial phase of addiction treatment: cocaine detox. This first step in any effective cocaine rehab program for women addresses the acute physical symptoms that accost those who use cocaine on a regular basis. Because your body has adjusted its chemical processes and production based on the expectation that you will continue to use cocaine, it doesn’t know what to do when you don’t provide the drug. You may experience a number of withdrawal symptoms that will vary depending upon how long you have been using cocaine, the amount that you are using when you quit and if you are using other drugs of addiction at the same time, especially if you are quitting them as well.

Those fears are normal, but they don’t have to stop you from breaking your addiction to cocaine. Cocaine rehab centers are staffed with professionals who have seen this before; some have even been through it themselves. They are educated and prepared to guide you through your cocaine withdrawal, safely and healthfully finding your way to the other side.

Cocaine Rehab and Depression

Arguably the worst of these symptoms is depression. Some women experience suicidal thoughts when they go through the “crash” after a binge or when they attempt to stop using cocaine. A cocaine rehab is equipped to help you get through this and other symptoms with psychotherapy, group therapy, meditative and mind-body techniques, and in some cases, pharmacological assistance.

It is not uncommon for women to experience the psychological addiction to cocaine in the form of severe depression. The belief is that they won’t be able to find a “normal” that they can deal with on their own without the drug. Because cocaine is a stimulant, many women feel that without it, they will not be able to find the energy they need to accomplish basic tasks: getting to work or school on time, finishing projects, caring for the children, even maintaining social relationships with family, neighbors and friends. The depths of cocaine-related depression can be deep and it’s important that you navigate those waters with a trained professional who won’t let you sink.

Cocaine Rehab and Family

For many women, their partners, children, and extended families are the focus. Many refuse to get the help they need out of concern for their loved ones. While this is a noble thought, the fact remains that no woman, no matter how strong, can care for her family and friends if she is not taken care of first. Cocaine addiction is a debilitating disease and if you don’t seek the medical treatment you need, you may find that you are physically unable to care for your loved ones now… or ever.
