The Importance of Going to a Florida Cocaine Addiction Treatment Center

When you make the decision to undergo a cocaine addiction treatment center such as the one offered at Safe Haven Recovery, our experienced staff will create a unique and highly individualized treatment and recovery plan that is made of three important steps. Depending on the severity of your addiction as well as a variety of other physical and mental health issues, the length of each step of treatment can vary. No matter how long you need to stay in a Florida cocaine addiction treatment program, it is necessary that you successfully complete each of these steps in order to give you the tools and support you need to achieve and maintain long-term sobriety.

 

Step One: Medical Detoxification

For those who quit cocaine, they can experience a host of physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms that can be very uncomfortable and painful to endure. In some cases, these symptoms can even be life-threatening–especially if you have underlying health complications or are abused other illicit substances in addition to cocaine. To minimize the potential danger of these withdrawal symptoms, you must first undergo medical detox in a safe, secure and highly supervised environment. During the medical detox process at Safe Haven Recovery, you may be given medications and undergo other interventions so that the withdrawal process is more tolerable. Additionally, the experienced treatment staff at a Florida cocaine treatment facility will also conduct a comprehensive evaluation to diagnose any co-occurring mental or physical illnesses that can provide obstacles to your recovery.

 

Step Two: Inpatient Substance Abuse Treatment

Once you are medically and psychologically stable and are substance-free, you can start an intensive drug rehab program which is highly structured and individualized to meet your specific and unique needs. This overall treatment plan is created by treatment staff and is derived from a wide variety of essential treatment services. You will undergo individual and group therapy and take part in a comprehensive life and coping skills training program that will give you the tools you need to successfully work your program of recovery while being able to adequately function in your daily life. Additionally, you also can take part in a variety of holistic therapy techniques that will help address the totality of your cocaine addiction in mind, body and spirit.

 

Step Three: Aftercare Programs

To give you the added support and encouragement you need as you leave formal drug treatment, Safe Haven Recovery offers and highly recommends that you attend aftercare programs. These treatment programs and/or sober living, will help you understand the triggers and daily stressors that can lead to relapse, and you can acquire and refine the necessary healthy life and coping skills that are needed to deal with cravings and urges to use in a constructive manner without reverting back to drug use.
