Once a cocaine user has admitted to excessive use, detox is the first step in recovery, and after cocaine detox has taken place, substance abuse treatment can take place successfully. As the psychological desire for cocaine is stronger than the body's need for the real drug, the detox process is more cerebral than physical. Most addicts experience mental cravings, as well as varying degrees of depression and other symptoms, during the initial phase of detox. 121Rehab would therefore advise that the use of a medically supervised detox is essential for the safety of clients.

Under medical supervision, cocaine detox is safe, and any unpleasant physical side effects can be significantly reduced with medication. 121Rehab would only refer a user to a detox clinic, which is supported by professionals, who are able to deal with any detox circumstances.

Cocaine detox is the process of returning a user to normal physical health. We urge that this process is done in an intensive way to minimise long term effects on the brain and body of the user.

Giving up a cocaine addiction isn't easy, however once the detox has been administered and the physical health is on the mend, we will advise and refer users to a treatment programme to help them get through the continuation of recovery which will help and support users in putting their addiction behind them once.
