Cocaine Rehab Center
At New Choices Treatment Centers, our San Antonio treatment center provides adults 18 and older with personalized care to overcome cocaine addiction while providing treatment for co-occurring mental health disorders.
Our Cocaine Addiction Treatment Programs
Cocaine use often starts as a way to chase a feeling or cope with stress. Some even use it as a stimulant to keep up with the demands of everyday life. New Choices Treatment Centers provides specialized cocaine addiction treatment for adults 18 and older, ready to find their way out of this cycle.
Our San Antonio programs start with a safe, supportive medical detox and progress through residential care. Clients then have the opportunity to enter structured outpatient programs, such as our partial hospitalization program (PHP) and intensive outpatient program (IOP). All clients at our cocaine rehab center have a personalized treatment plan developed by our expert team that combines physical well-being with behavioral and mental health care.
Understanding Cocaine Addiction and Dependence
Cocaine and crack cocaine are powerful central nervous system stimulants. They quickly alter the brain’s reward system, causing a person to become highly dependent on cocaine to manage their body and mind and feel “normal.”
Our addiction treatment services address the neurological impact of this cycle. We provide clinical interventions that manage severe cravings and give clients’ nervous systems a chance to heal.
The Physical and Mental Health Effects of Cocaine Use
Long-term cocaine abuse strains the cardiovascular system and can trigger mental health issues, especially in those with pre-existing co-occurring disorders. Paranoia, panic attacks, and depression are all common side effects of cocaine use and dependency. Our dual-diagnosis approach ensures that the types of treatment clients receive address their physical, mental, and behavioral health.
Why Professional Treatment Is
Important
Cocaine withdrawal is hard on the body and mind. A detox period usually involves extreme fatigue, deep depression, a spike in anxiety, and overwhelming drug cravings. Quitting without professional support carries a high risk of relapse.
Our substance use disorder detoxification programs all happen in a safe, trigger-free environment. Clients will have access to 24/7 clinical support to help them cope with the withdrawal phase and increase their chances of long-term recovery.
Our Supportive Treatment Environment in San Antonio
Our San Antonio cocaine rehab center is purposely designed to be a recovery-focused living environment. Clients spend their residential stay in apartment-style shared rooms. They also enjoy chef-prepared communal meals and have access to a peaceful private courtyard.
The combined efforts of our trauma-informed staff and shared experience with peers who understand the recovery journey on our campus establish a supportive community. There’s no stress of daily life to keep clients from reaching their goals – only opportunities to focus on wellness at every turn.
The New Choices Treatment
Centers Difference
New Choices Treatment Centers is a privately owned, trauma-informed recovery center in San Antonio that prioritizes individualized care and meaningful clinical connections. Our team is structured to respond to each client’s unique needs, creating a supportive community environment where recovery is personal, purposeful, and grounded in evidence-based practice.
Built for Adults 18+
Our programs are designed specifically for adults navigating substance use disorder, with an inclusive environment for men and women and a welcoming, LGBTQIA+-friendly culture. Treatment is focused on primary substance use disorders while integrating support for co-occurring mental health conditions.
Personalized, Evidence-Based Care
Every client receives a customized treatment plan that may include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT), medication-assisted treatment (MAT), trauma-focused therapies, SMART Recovery, and psychoeducational groups. Care is tailored to individual strengths, challenges, and recovery goals to promote long-term stability.
Integrated Mental Health & Substance Use Treatment
Because substance use and mental health are often interconnected, we provide coordinated support for depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and trauma-related concerns. This integrated approach strengthens emotional regulation, improves coping skills, and supports lasting recovery.
A Supportive Community Environment
With clinical and residential services located on one campus, clients experience consistent structure, peer support, and direct access to licensed clinicians and an on-site psychiatrist. Our team fosters accountability, connection, and daily routines that reinforce well-being and sustainable change.
Continuity Across Levels of Care
From detox and residential treatment to PHP, IOP, and outpatient services, clients can move seamlessly through the appropriate level of care as their needs evolve. This step-down structure supports progress at every stage of the recovery journey.
Highlights of Our
Cocaine Addiction Treatment
An effective rehab program doesn’t just treat the symptoms of substance abuse – it looks at the root causes of addiction. We connect evidence-based treatment from clinical experts with experiential therapies to ensure effective treatment with optimal results.
Evidence-Based Behavioral Therapies
Behavioral therapies such as CBT are a crucial part of our treatment programs. CBT helps clients identify negative patterns in their thinking and behavior and replace them with positive patterns. Other evidence-based approaches we use for drug abuse and mental health treatment include DBT and REBT.
Individual Therapy and Personalized Support
Clients work one-on-one with a licensed therapist to process the “why” behind their substance use disorder. Individual therapy also helps treat co-occurring mental health conditions and empowers clients to make decisions that improve their emotional wellness.
Group Therapy and Peer Support
Group therapy sessions are designed around empathy and shared experience. These meetings create a safe space for clients to build accountability and lean on others for support during their recovery journey.
Holistic and Experiential Therapies
We also supplement clinical therapy sessions with art therapy, music therapy, mindfulness, and physical fitness to teach clients to engage with their whole selves and regulate their emotions in new ways.
What to Expect During
Cocaine Addiction Treatment
Our cocaine addiction treatment center follows a structured daily routine, guaranteeing predictable and engaging clinical support when clients need it most.
Therapy Sessions and Skill Development
Daily process groups, educational programming, and experiential therapy sessions all combine to build a tailored relapse prevention plan.
Recovery Support
Clients have the opportunity to access on-site support groups and recovery meetings on their terms. We integrate these directly into their daily rehab program to help keep them grounded.
Ongoing Support Throughout Recovery
Even after inpatient treatment or an outpatient program is complete, clients can still benefit from continuing recovery support and our alumni program. These ensure clients stay connected to their sober community after discharge.
Our Rehab Program Treatment Options
Recovery is a phased process that looks different for everyone. Our distinct levels of care allow clients to step down into new levels of independence, giving them opportunities to build confidence and strengthen the coping skills they learn.
Residential Treatment for Intensive Recovery
Our next level of care includes an immersive inpatient program where clients live on campus. Residents can dedicate their entire focus to healing and behavioral health without distraction – and with the support of a clinical team that understands what they’re going through.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
PHP provides a transitional treatment option offering daytime clinical care. Clients will go home or to a sober living environment at night to practice their skills and slowly integrate themselves into their new life.
Medical Detox and Cocaine Withdrawal Support
24/7 clinical observation and psychiatric care help clients safely manage their initial detox period. In detox, clients entrust the severe depression, anxiety, and physical exhaustion of cocaine withdrawal to clinical experts who know how to make the process more comfortable.
Outpatient Treatment and Continuing Care
Our outpatient treatment program provides long-term recovery options with weekly support to help clients stay connected to their care team, even as they move past a more rigorous and ongoing treatment process.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
IOP is an even more flexible outpatient treatment program designed to balance therapy with the demands of daily life. Our team helps clients manage substance use disorder while they continue their daily responsibilities.
When to Seek Help for Cocaine Addiction
Cocaine use is often tied to social settings or high-stress professional environments, often leading people to write it off as something that isn’t a serious problem. But recognizing the warning signs is the first and most important step in getting help for cocaine addiction.
Warning Signs of Cocaine Addiction
Seek professional help if you or a loved one is experiencing difficulty cutting back on cocaine use, intense mood swings or behavioral changes, financial problems related to substance use disorder, or concerning health problems like chronic nosebleeds or a racing heart.
Supporting a Loved One With Cocaine Addiction
If someone you love is trapped by their cocaine use, bring them facts and compassion. Anger and judgment will likely push them further away; this disorder thrives in shame and isolation, so you want to let your loved one in. Encourage them to accept support and professional help – it’s often the intervention that can save their life.
Cocaine Withdrawal Symptoms and Relapse Risk
The crash that comes with cocaine withdrawal includes intense exhaustion and irritability, with many others experiencing dark, depressive thoughts. These symptoms can increase tenfold for those with co-occurring disorders, and relapse risk is incredibly high within the first few weeks. Staying at a professional treatment center can not only help cope with detox, but it can also break the loop for good.
Comprehensive Support for
Long-Term Recovery
Addiction treatment goes far beyond the experience at the New Choices campus. We equip clients with the exact tools they need to sustain sobriety at every fork in the road of their recovery journey.
Medication Management and Healthcare Support
Our on-site psychiatric team provides careful medication management to treat the challenges that often arise during early recovery.
Family Therapy and Family Support
Even if they don't show it, family members are significantly impacted by substance use disorder. We arrange family sessions for clients looking to reconnect and repair relationships with their loved ones.
Relapse Prevention
and Life Skills
Development
We want to keep the future as bright as possible by offering tangible skills to help clients thrive throughout their recovery journey. Clients will learn how to identify high-risk environments and triggers alongside ways to manage stress and improve their mental well-being without substances.
Aftercare Planning and Continuing Recovery Support
We plan for discharge and aftercare as a part of every treatment program. Every client leaves with a continuing care plan that makes sense for them, including outpatient support schedules and direct access to our active alumni programs.
A Comfortable and Supportive Recovery Environment
Our San Antonio campus offers comfortable apartment-style housing and communal meals. This built-in connection strips substance use disorder of one of its most powerful resources: isolation. Clients can focus on re-establishing healthy routines and the therapeutic work needed for long-term recovery to succeed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need detox for cocaine addiction?
Yes, a supervised detox with a medical professional is recommended. Cocaine withdrawal may not be life-threatening, but the combination of intense cravings and severe strain on your mental health makes it extremely challenging to stay sober without the right support.
What therapies are used to treat cocaine addiction?
Cocaine addiction treatment looks similar to other approaches to treat substance use disorder. This could include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to give new context to thought patterns, as well as trauma-focused care and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).
Do you offer inpatient and outpatient treatment?
Yes. We offer varying levels of care that meet people where they’re at. Many start with more immersive inpatient rehab first before stepping down into an outpatient rehab program.
How long does cocaine addiction treatment last?
The length of your treatment plan will depend on your individual needs. After the short detox period (usually lasting a few days to a week), you’ll begin your long-term recovery journey with 30 to 90 days of residential care. You then transition into an outpatient program that suits your needs, often giving you access to treatment facilities while reintroducing you to your daily life.
Can cocaine addiction occur with other substance use disorders?
Yes, and it’s very common. Drug addiction, alcohol addiction, and other co-occurring disorders can all feed into each other. Some may use alcohol or other depressants specifically to counteract the stimulant effects of cocaine use. Dual-diagnosis treatment options, like those included in our rehab centers, are vital for a person’s well-being if they have multiple substance dependencies.
What should I do if my loved one is addicted to cocaine?
Compassion is your friend – and theirs. Your loved one is likely exhausted and scared, and just as much as you want them to, they also wish they could get out of the cycle of use.
Educate yourself on the experience of someone with substance use disorder, then talk to them. Encourage them to look into a rehab program without judgment. Judgment causes shame, and shame is often a catalyst behind excessive cocaine use or dependency.
Does insurance cover cocaine addiction treatment?
Addiction treatment is typically covered by health insurance. However, everyone’s plan varies. Get in touch with our admissions team for more information on your specific benefits and insurance coverage options.
Do you offer aftercare or relapse prevention support?
Absolutely. Aftercare is vital for relapse prevention – every client leaves with a plan in place. We want them to feel empowered to prioritize their well-being. The only way to do that is with the right kind of support system, including continuing care resources and access to our alumni network.
