Understanding Cocaine Addiction
Cocaine is an extremely popular recreational drug because of its ability to produce feelings of heightened pleasure. Its use causes a build-up of dopamine in the brain, which is a neurotransmitter responsible for making us feel happiness and joy. These feelings, and the crash that comes after use, are what cause people to become addicted to it.
Cocaine is available in different forms, including powdered cocaine and crack cocaine. Other substances are also sold, known as synthetic or “pink cocaine”, which may contain different combinations of drugs. Regardless of the form used, problematic use can affect physical and psychological wellbeing.
Cocaine Rehab at Asana Lodge: What to Expect
At Asana Lodge, we provide rehabilitation for cocaine addiction for those over the age of 18.
However, no two experiences of addiction are exactly the same. Your treatment programme will therefore be tailored to you, taking into account your cocaine use, physical and mental health, personal circumstances and any other addictions or challenges you may be experiencing.
Step 1: Admission & Arrival
Before you arrive at our cocaine addiction rehab facility, we will have an informal pre-admission phone call.
This call is intended to understand you and your cocaine addiction some more. Or, if you’re referring a loved one, we will learn about your relationship with them and their addiction through your eyes.
This will be the time when we ask about the substance(s) you’re addicted to and the progression of your addiction. This helps us better understand the level of treatment required.
We’ll outline all the relevant information you need, including costs, duration of stay, and the facilities available. Detailing all of this for you makes your picture of cocaine treatment at Asana Lodge clearer, allowing you to decide if you want to move forward with treatment.
Once you’re ready, we can then arrange a check-in and transport for you to start your treatment.

Our team of experienced, understanding doctors, nurses, and medical professionals is available to help you recover and create the most comprehensive and effective treatment program possible.
Step 2: Detoxification & Withdrawal
The first step for most clients is to go through a cocaine detox. This can often be the toughest part of drug rehab, as stopping cocaine use cold turkey can cause a variety of psychological withdrawal symptoms.
Some of the most common cocaine withdrawal symptoms include:
- Cravings: A strong desire to use cocaine again
- Fatigue: A feeling of tiredness or weariness
- Increased Appetite: Hunger levels may rise
- Agitation and Restlessness: Feeling irritable or restless
- Depression and Anxiety: Emotional symptoms can be intense
- Sleep Disturbances: Trouble falling or staying asleep, or unusual dreams
- Lack of Concentration: Difficulty focusing or thinking clearly
The intensity of withdrawal symptoms heavily depends on various factors. Fortunately, inpatient treatment offers 24/7 monitoring and support to help you through it.
Step 3: Therapies & Treatment
Treatment combines regular one-to-one therapy, weekly keywork sessions and ongoing care reviews with a comprehensive timetable of daily therapeutic groups. Our therapeutic approaches include:
- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
- Schema Therapy
- Trauma-informed care
- Coping skills development
- Meaningful daily activities
- Discharge planning
These approaches help individuals understand the underlying causes of addiction, develop healthier coping strategies and build resilience.
Alongside psychological therapies, individuals can participate in art and music therapy, yoga and a range of wellbeing activities that promote both physical and emotional health.
Step 4: Discharge & Aftercare
Once your treatment is complete, you can be discharged from our cocaine rehab facility. Sadly, the real world will come with triggers and temptations that can influence your sobriety.
That’s why during your time in rehab with us, you’ll be equipped with relapse prevention techniques that will help you overcome these temptations and deal with triggers.
We also offer 12 months of free aftercare after your discharge from our facility. This will consist of a therapy session once a week with us here at Asana Lodge, as well as recommendations for free community-based treatments. This gives you the opportunity to seek guidance not only from therapists but also from others in the exact same position as you.
The community offers a range of free support groups that we typically recommend for aftercare. These include:
This is something our ex-patients have found extremely useful, as ongoing support helps to reduce your risk of relapse. We don’t want you to feel neglected and alone once you leave us, which is why we pledge to help you keep your promise to sobriety.
