Nashville Cocaine Treatment Center

At The Ranch in Tennessee, we help people recover from cocaine addiction with genuine compassion and professional care. Our campus in Nunnelly—about an hour west of Nashville—offers medical detox, residential treatment, and partial hospitalization outpatient treatment designed specifically for stimulant addiction. If you or a loved one has tried to quit and keep getting pulled back to cocaine, our cocaine rehab center gives you structure, skills, and support in a calm, supportive environment where recovery becomes possible.

We combine behavioral therapies, hands-on skills practice, and holistic supports with thorough dual diagnosis treatment for mental health disorders. From the first phone call through aftercare services, our dedicated team follows a treatment plan that meets your specific needs and can help you prevent relapse—not just in the program, but back home in real life.

Why Cocaine Addiction Feels Different and How We Treat It

Cocaine is a powerful stimulant. It ramps up energy, confidence, and focus for a short time, then leaves the brain’s stress system over-activated. People often crash with low mood, sleep problems, and intense withdrawal symptoms like irritability, anxiety, and cravings. There’s currently no FDA-approved medication that “cures” cocaine addiction, which is why a strong, skills-based treatment program matters so much.

At The Ranch, addiction treatment for cocaine focuses on:

• Medical stabilization during detox (and drug detox if other drugs or alcohol are involved)
• High-frequency group therapy and individual counseling that build real-world coping tools
• Medication management to treat mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, or ADHD that often complicate recovery
• Daily routines that reset sleep, nutrition, and stress
• A written treatment plan and aftercare plan so you leave with clear structures in place

Cocaine Withdrawal, Detox, and Safety

Many people tell us the crash is what sends them back to cocaine. Early withdrawal symptoms can include:

• Fatigue or restless energy, disrupted sleep, and low motivation
• Irritability, agitation, or anxiety
• Low mood or “nothing feels good” (anhedonia)
• Strong cravings for cocaine or other drugs
• Trouble concentrating or feeling emotionally flat

Our drug and alcohol detox programs in Tennessee provide 24/7 nursing care, physician oversight, and symptom-guided medications to keep you safe and as comfortable as possible. If you’ve been mixing alcohol or benzodiazepines with cocaine, we’ll adjust the detox plan and monitor for additional risks.

Some people benefit from a brief stay in drug detox to stabilize before stepping into therapy; others begin therapy immediately after medical clearance.

What you can expect in detox:

• Round-the-clock monitoring, hydration, nutrition, and sleep support
• Early counseling sessions to lower anxiety and map your first week
• A gentle routine with quiet spaces and short walks as tolerated
• Coordination with psychiatry when mood symptoms spike
• A handoff from detox to residential care or PHP without gaps

Levels of Care at Our Tennessee Cocaine Rehab Center

Every person arrives with a different history of substance use and stress. We’ll match you to the level that fits your situation so you can stay sober and keep moving forward on the recovery journey.

Residential Treatment (Inpatient)

In inpatient addiction treatment, participants reside at one of our treatment centers and live the structure they need: consistent wake/sleep times, meals, therapy, and practice. You’ll have daily group therapy, regular one-to-one sessions, experiential work, family sessions, and plenty of coaching. Residential care is especially helpful when people are facing unstable housing, high-risk environments, or co-occurring mental health symptoms that make early recovery bumpy. Many clients tell us the predictability and community at our Tennessee campus makes the real difference in the first month.

Partial Hospitalization (PHP)

Our partial hospitalization program is a full-day, every day schedule where you attend therapeutic programming during the day and sleep at home or in sober housing at night. PHP includes multiple group therapy sessions, individual counseling, skill labs, medication management, and relapse-prevention work in real time. It’s ideal for clients who need daily accountability and a safe pace while rebuilding daily routines and responsibilities. When you’re ready, we coordinate step-downs to trusted outpatient programs in the Nashville area.

What We Do Every Day: Evidence-Based, Skills-Forward Care

We use behavioral therapies because they help people change what they do when cravings, stress, and emotions hit. This can include:

• Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT): We map triggers, thoughts, and behaviors specific to cocaine use and practice new skills for high-risk moments: urge surfing, delay-distract-decide, thought reframes, and practical problem solving.
• Motivational Interviewing: You’ll clarify your own reasons for change and build goals you actually believe in.
• DBT-informed skills: DBT offers distress tolerance and emotion regulation tools for the moments when discomfort feels unmanageable.
• Trauma-informed care: When trauma sits underneath drug addiction, we pace the work so stabilization comes first and deeper processing happens safely.

Why group therapy matters for stimulant recovery: isolation and shame get replaced by accountability, humor, and honesty. Practicing out loud makes skills available when cravings spike. Many patients say groups are where their confidence and hope return.

Holistic Supports That Lower Relapse Risk

Alongside clinical work, we offer holistic supports that help you feel human again:

• Yoga and mindfulness to settle the nervous system
• Time outdoors, low-ropes/experiential activities, or gentle movement
• Nutrition groups that teach you how food stabilizes mood and sleep
• Simple breath work and grounding exercises you can use anywhere

These practices aren’t “extras.” They’re part of a comprehensive care plan that rebuilds life skills, reduces reactivity, and supports long-term recovery.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment for Mental Health

Cocaine addiction often travels with mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, PTSD, or ADHD. Our integrated dual diagnosis treatment screens for and treats mental health disorders from day one. Your treatment plan may include therapy plus medication-assisted treatment for symptoms (for example, sleep or mood support) even though there isn’t a single medication that treats cocaine directly. Stabilizing mental health is essential substance abuse treatment, and it’s a major reason people finally break free from the cycle of substance use and return to life with steadier footing.

Family Therapy & Support

Family therapy helps loved ones understand the difference between support and rescuing, learn communication that reduces conflict, and set boundaries that keep home safer. We help families create practical routines, rehearse tough conversations, and build a plan they can follow when stress runs high. Families matter in recovery—and families need support, too.

Your First Week With Us

People often feel calmer when they know what to expect. A typical weekday may look like:

• Morning vitals and check-in with nursing
• Skills or psychoeducation group focused on withdrawal symptoms, cravings, sleep, or stress
• Individual counseling to tailor strategies to your treatment plan
• Lunch and time outdoors
• Afternoon group therapy (CBT/DBT skills, trigger mapping, relapse-prevention practice)
• Experiential or holistic activity to close the day
• Evening routine that supports rest

Weekends include a lighter schedule, community activities, and planning sessions for the week ahead. Throughout your stay, patients work with our dedicated team to adjust goals, review progress, and personalize care.

Relapse Prevention, Aftercare Plan & Ongoing Support

We build your aftercare plan early and keep refining it. It includes:

• A written triggers map and the response for each one
• Meeting and outpatient treatment schedule
• Medication and appointment calendar with refills
• Sleep, nutrition, and movement goals
• People to call (family, sponsor, peers, therapist) and a crisis plan
• Weekend and travel scripts, a.k.a. what to do when the calendar changes
• Aftercare services with alumni check-ins and groups

The goal isn’t perfection; it’s a plan you can use on real days with real stress. When the plan is clear, patients feel steadier, families feel informed, and long-term recovery becomes more realistic.

Detox Options: Drug Detox vs. Medical Detox (What’s the Difference?)

You’ll see both terms here. We use drug detox to describe medically supervised stabilization for drugs like cocaine and for polysubstance use (for example, alcohol with cocaine). Medical detox is the clinical process: vitals, monitoring, and symptom-guided care. If alcohol detox is needed alongside cocaine detox, we coordinate that safely on site. Many patients complete detox and move directly into residential treatment or partial hospitalization so momentum isn’t lost.

Insurance, Admissions & Making Treatment Possible

We accept most major insurance and can check your insurance policy benefits quickly. Our admissions team will explain coverage, discuss options for patients and families, and help you choose the treatment programs and schedule that fit your situation. We’ll also send a simple list of what to bring to our facility so arrival day feels easy.

Getting professional help is often the first step that changes everything. Call us, ask your questions, and let us map the path from drug detox to rehab to ongoing support.
