Cocaine Treatment

Cocaine produces a swift rise in dopamine, creating temporary bursts of energy or motivation. When used repeatedly, the brain begins to associate productivity or emotional stability with cocaine rather than natural processes. People often start using in specific situations, like social events, high-pressure moments, or late-night work, before it gradually becomes part of everyday functioning.

And, if you struggle with cocaine, you're not alone. Millions of Americans report using cocaine each year, and cocaine-related overdoses have increased steadily, particularly when combined with other substances.

Clients often describe changes such as:

• Working or socializing in bursts that feel unsustainable
• Struggling to maintain healthy sleep routines
• Eating irregularly or losing track of time
• Becoming increasingly isolated after long stretches of intensity
• Feeling scattered, rushed, or unable to slow down

With continued use, cocaine can put serious strain on the heart and blood vessels, increasing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and irregular heartbeat. Many people also experience ongoing sleep problems, anxiety, and mood crashes that make daily life feel unstable. As these effects build, relationships, work, and overall health often begin to suffer.

People may notice:

• Rapid mood shifts or restlessness
• Increasing tolerance
• Difficulty staying engaged without using
• Withdrawal from family or routines
• Physical symptoms such as nose irritation, fatigue, or weight fluctuation

Treatment focuses on helping clients restore balance, stabilize the nervous system, and rebuild decision-making patterns. Our approach blends clinical therapies with ranch-based experiences that help clients learn steadiness after long periods of stimulant-driven pacing.

Clients may engage in:

• Medically supervised detox for initial stabilization
• Residential, PHP, or IOP care
• CBT to challenge thought patterns tied to performance or pressure
• DBT for emotion regulation and distress tolerance
• Trauma-focused therapy when past experiences affect current use
• Equine therapy for awareness and boundary setting
• Adventure therapy to reconnect with physical cues and grounded movement
• Mindfulness, creative practices, and skills groups

As days take on predictable rhythms, clients begin to trust their internal cues again.

Recovery is not simply about abstaining. It's about learning how to move through the day with steadiness and clarity. Clients leave with aftercare plans that may include:

• Regular therapy
• Alumni group participation
• Structured routines around sleep and nutrition
• Community support systems
• Safety strategies for high-risk situations

These plans help reinforce the groundwork laid at The Ranch.
