Effective Treatment for Cocaine Addiction

Currently there is no commonly used medication for the treatment of cocaine dependency. Some symptoms maybe treated with various medications if doctors deem beneficial for their patient. Cocaine addiction is treated with behavioural interventions.

At Simcoe Addiction and Mental Health, we use Cognitive Behavioural therapy (CBT) as an effective strategy to combat obsessive cravings and behaviours. Cognitive behavioural therapy places a great deal of emphasis on developing specific skills that help an individual to avoid repeating old behaviours.

This may include understanding prompting factors that lead to the desire to use. This often involves evaluating current emotional state and effectively dealing with that emotion without needing to use cocaine.

Skills and education are provided to help the struggling individual understand their addiction and be better prepared to handle situations that maybe triggering.

Handouts are often provided to residents as an additional resource.
