At-Home Cocaine Addiction Treatment
Cocaine Addiction Treatment From the Comfort and Privacy of Your Own Home
ALYST Health’s at-home cocaine addiction treatment and recovery program offers a practical option for individuals who are unable to attend conventional addiction treatment centers.
Our Approach to Cocaine Addiction Treatment
At ALYST Health, we believe crack and cocaine addiction thrives in isolation and is best treated through connection and community, but we also realize the group environment of conventional addiction treatment centers isn’t compatible with everyone’s lifestyle. Many individuals cannot put life on pause to enter a 30-, 60-, or 90-day treatment program. Others value a level of privacy group programs can’t guarantee or want to integrate treatment with their daily routine from day one.
No matter the reason, ALYST Health empowers individuals with the tools and resources they need to navigate addiction treatment and recovery from the privacy and comfort of their own homes. To achieve that goal, we take a comprehensive approach to healing and treatment that includes:
Link to: Intervention
Cocaine Addiction Intervention
When someone you care about is struggling to come to terms with the harm a crack or cocaine addiction has on their life or the lives of those around them, our Certified Intervention Professionals can help. Our team carefully plans, executes, and follows through on interventions to provide family and friends with an objective opportunity to voice their concerns and solidify a plan of action to establish boundaries and set goals.
Link to: At-Home Rehab
At-Home Cocaine Rehab Program
Following a successful intervention, our fully at-home rehab program offers participants the opportunity to immediately start working toward their treatment goals. A Certified Recovery Agent (also known as a CRA or sober companion) provides around-the-clock support and guidance as the participant navigates sobriety. As they learn the skills and tools to cope with their addiction, the CRA steps back to provide continued support as needed.
Link to: Addiction Case Management Services
Cocaine Addiction Case Management
A crack or cocaine addiction is the result of a number of complex environmental, social, familial, and biological factors, so successful treatment requires a diverse team of professionals all working toward the same goals. Our dedicated case managers are all licensed social workers specializing in addiction and keeping different treatment teams on the same page. Their confidential approach also provides a single point of families and other providers.
While our program works best by combining all the elements of a successful at-home addiction treatment program, we also have the flexibility to offer any of the above as standalone services.
Common Questions About Cocaine Addiction
Some of the most common questions we hear from the families of individuals struggling with crack or cocaine addiction are:
What Is Cocaine?
Cocaine is a stimulant, often used as a recreational drug. The drug can be insufflated (snorted), ingested orally, inhaled (smoked), or injected intravenously. Because it interacts with the brain’s reward system, cocaine is highly addictive. As soon as cocaine crosses the blood-brain barrier, it triggers a rush of dopamine, providing an immediate sense of reward that incentivizes continued use while making it difficult to find pleasure in other things.
What Is Crack Cocaine?
Cocaine and crack cocaine are nearly chemically identical and produce similar effects, but crack is considered a derivative of cocaine. The critical difference is in how the two substances are consumed. Powder cocaine is generally snorted, injected, or swallowed, while crack cocaine is most often smoked. When smoked, crack cocaine is faster acting, but the high doesn’t last as long when compared to snorting powder cocaine. Ultimately, treatment for crack addiction looks almost identical to treatment for cocaine addiction.
