Cocaine Detox & Addiction Treatment
Safe, Confidential Recovery Starts Here
Cocaine withdrawal can be intense — both physically and emotionally — but you don’t have to go through it alone. At Orange County Detox Center, we provide around-the-clock medical supervision in a safe, structured environment to help you detox from cocaine with comfort and support. Whether you’re dealing with binge use, long-term dependence, or mixing cocaine with other substances, our team is here to guide you through the first step toward long-term recovery.
Cocaine is a powerful stimulant drug that comes in several forms, most commonly as a white powder (cocaine hydrochloride) or solid “rock” form known as crack cocaine. It’s often snorted, smoked, or injected to produce short-lived, intense euphoria.
Cocaine use can produce an intense but brief high — users may feel euphoric, energized, alert, and confident. However, these effects quickly wear off, leading to anxiety, agitation, and a crash that includes fatigue, irritability, and depression.
The high from cocaine typically lasts 15 to 30 minutes when snorted and as little as 5 to 10 minutes when smoked or injected. The crash and withdrawal symptoms may last for hours to several days, depending on frequency and amount of use.
Yes — cocaine is highly addictive. It causes a surge of dopamine in the brain, which leads to intense cravings and repeated use. Over time, users develop tolerance and psychological dependence, making it extremely difficult to stop without professional help.
Cocaine use poses serious physical and mental health risks, including:
Repeated use can also lead to hallucinations, psychosis, and serious damage to the heart and brain.
Chronic cocaine use can result in major health and life disruptions, including:
Some common signs that cocaine use has become a problem include:

The detox timeline refers to the complete process of managing cocaine withdrawal under medical care. Unlike substances that cause severe physical withdrawal, cocaine detox is primarily psychological — but still requires clinical oversight for safety, support, and relapse prevention.

Cocaine detox & rehab FAQs
While cocaine withdrawal is not usually physically life-threatening, it can be emotionally intense and mentally overwhelming. Severe depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and powerful cravings are common. Medical supervision during detox ensures emotional safety, stabilization, and relapse prevention.
Withdrawal typically begins within 6 to 12 hours after the last use and can last up to 7–10 days. Psychological symptoms like depression, anxiety, or cravings may persist longer. Some individuals may experience Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome (PAWS), which includes mood instability or fatigue for several weeks.
Detoxing at home is not recommended. Emotional symptoms — including irritability, depression, and intense cravings — often lead to relapse without professional support. At Orange County Detox Center, we provide 24/7 care to help you get through detox safely and successfully.
While there are no FDA-approved medications specifically for cocaine withdrawal, supportive medications can be used to ease symptoms such as anxiety, insomnia, or depression. Our clinical team personalizes your care to make detox as safe and comfortable as possible.
If you’re experiencing intense cravings, using more than intended, struggling to stop, or facing mood swings, paranoia, or sleep issues — detox may be the right first step. Cocaine use can escalate quickly, and early intervention matters.
