Cocaine Detox & Rehab in Pembroke Pines
Cocaine withdrawal does not shake the body the way alcohol or opioid withdrawal does. It crashes you instead: exhaustion, deep sleep, and cravings in waves. That crash carries real psychiatric risk, and we monitor it for anyone with heart problems, severe depression, or more than one substance in play. We provide supportive care and medical monitoring, then move you into evidence-based therapy. Call (855) 981-8935.

Cocaine withdrawal, the crash
Cocaine withdrawal is a crash that runs in the head and not through the body. Fatigue settles in and does not lift. Sleep runs long or will not come. Mood drops and irritability follows. Cravings come in waves and will not sit still. It usually starts within hours of last use.
The psychiatric side of the crash is the part to take seriously. Suicidal thoughts, severe depression, and paranoia can show up in this window. Long stimulant use can leave the heart real wear, and we monitor it here. If mood or ADHD problems sit underneath the use, we treat.
Our job is supportive care, medical monitoring, psychiatric assessment, and a quick move into evidence-based therapy in residential.
Supportive care
Every cocaine detox here begins with a full clinical and cardiac assessment, shaped around your medical history and psychiatric picture.
We take a baseline EKG on arrival for every patient, and those with a cardiac history stay on continuous telemetry.
Cocaine use disorder often sits on top of a mood or anxiety disorder, or an ADHD never diagnosed.
Non-stimulant ADHD medication, non-habit-forming sleep aids, and antidepressants when indicated.
We work with internal medicine consultants on heart symptoms or concerning lab results.
Long stimulant use leaves people thin and running on little sleep. We restore both first.
The depression of the crash can turn toward suicidal thoughts. Our staff is trained to respond to it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are cocaine withdrawal symptoms?
Cocaine withdrawal is mostly psychological: depression, fatigue, increased appetite, vivid unpleasant dreams, and intense cravings. Physical symptoms are mild, but the risk of suicidal thinking in early withdrawal is what we monitor.
How long does cocaine detox take?
Acute withdrawal usually lasts 5 to 7 days. Cravings, low mood, and sleep problems can run for weeks, and residential therapy takes that up.
Are medications used during cocaine detox?
No FDA-approved medication exists for cocaine withdrawal. We treat the co-occurring conditions, like depression, anxiety, and ADHD, with supportive medications, and we watch for suicidal thinking and heart problems.
Why is residential treatment so important after cocaine detox?
Most people who finish detox without residential treatment relapse. Inpatient care is where therapy works on the thinking patterns and triggers that drive the use.
What about co-occurring depression or anxiety?
Many people with cocaine use disorder also carry depression, anxiety, or ADHD that keeps the use going. We run dual-diagnosis psychiatric assessment and treatment from day one.
Does insurance cover cocaine treatment?
Plans with out-of-network benefits cover cocaine treatment. Our in-network coverage is with Tricare, and we work with VA Community Care. We also accept out-of-network benefits from BCBS, UHC, Aetna, Cigna, and Humana.
