Editorial brief · Condition
Cocaine & stimulant addiction.
Cocaine rehab is residential treatment for cocaine addiction: a supervised detox through the crash, then therapy built for stimulants. The same programs treat prescription stimulants such as Adderall, where withdrawal is psychological rather than medically dangerous.

No catalogued center lists cocaine & stimulant addiction as a core specialty.
That is a gap in our catalogue rather than a judgement about the care available. Most programs that treat cocaine & stimulant addiction do so inside a broader addiction or dual-diagnosis track, so the honest route is to filter on the presentation that sits alongside it and ask each program directly using the questions further down this page.
How luxury centers address it
Cocaine rehab starts with the crash. When the drug stops, the first days bring heavy sleep and exhaustion, then a stretch of flat mood, an inability to feel pleasure, broken sleep, and cravings that arrive in waves. Cocaine detox is mostly psychological rather than medically dangerous, so the first week is about supervision and support: staff who keep you fed, rested, and steady while the crash runs its course.
The therapy that follows carries more of the recovery than in alcohol or opioid treatment, because there's no single proven medication for stimulant addiction yet. The most evidence-backed approach is contingency management, a reward-based method built specifically for stimulants, combined with cognitive behavioral therapy and a daily routine that repairs the sleep, appetite, and mood early recovery disrupts. Thinking and mood problems can last weeks to months, and relapse risk peaks in the 8-to-12-week stretch, so the step-down plan matters as much as the stay.
The same programs treat prescription stimulants — Adderall and its relatives, often started for focus and carried into dependence — and that scope matters: heavy stimulant use can produce symptoms that look like bipolar or psychosis, and it takes a strong psychiatric team to sort drug-induced symptoms from an underlying condition. Programs with daily psychiatrist access are built for exactly this long arc.
There's no medication equivalent to buprenorphine for stimulants, so program quality comes down to therapeutic structure — see how we rank luxury drug rehab for the staffing and structure criteria weighed across every center.

Before admission
Questions worth asking.
- How long is a typical stay for stimulant addiction, and what does the step-down plan look like?
- Does the clinical team use reward-based (contingency management) approaches specifically?
- If someone shows signs of psychosis or major mood swings, how do you figure out what's causing them?
- What's your approach to the long recovery window, the 8-to-12-week stretch when relapse risk is highest?
Common questions
Cocaine & stimulant addiction treatment, answered.
How long is cocaine rehab?
Cocaine rehab commonly runs 30 to 90 days in residential care. Thinking and mood problems can last weeks to months after stopping, and relapse risk peaks in the 8-to-12-week stretch, so people with prior relapses usually benefit from the longer end plus a strong step-down plan.
What happens in cocaine detox?
Cocaine detox is the crash: a few days of heavy sleep and exhaustion, then a stretch of flat mood, an inability to feel pleasure, broken sleep, and intense cravings. It's rarely medically dangerous, so the priority is a supervised, structured setting that supports the crash rather than a medical taper.
What does cocaine addiction treatment involve?
Because there's no single proven medication for stimulant addiction yet, therapy and structure carry the recovery. The most evidence-backed approach is contingency management (reward-based), combined with cognitive behavioral therapy and a routine that repairs the disrupted sleep, appetite, and mood of early recovery.
Do the same programs treat Adderall addiction?
Yes. Adderall addiction treatment follows the same stimulant playbook: contingency management, cognitive behavioral therapy, and daily structure, with a taper plan agreed with the psychiatrist when a prescription is involved. Dependence that began with a legitimate prescription is one of the most common stimulant stories in residential care.
Can stimulants cause symptoms like bipolar or psychosis?
Yes. Heavy stimulant use — cocaine or high-dose amphetamines — can produce symptoms that look like bipolar or psychosis and need careful evaluation to sort out. Programs with strong psychiatric teams are far better at distinguishing drug-induced symptoms from an underlying condition.
