Stop or cut down on cocaine

Treatment

Treatment at Jellinek is no more strenuous than necessary. We keep it as low-level as possible, but we offer intensive treatment if you need it. We have no waiting lists, or only short ones for certain specialised treatments. To some extent you can determine the course and setting of the treatment yourself.

To get your addiction under control, cognitive-behavioural therapy is often a good approach. We can provide it in individual or group sessions or in combination. If necessary, these can also be combined with medical treatment. If you want to stop completely and would like to do so with the support of other people who are achieving the same thing, then the 12-step Minnesota treatment model may be right for you. It emphasises empathy and solidarity with others.

Symptoms of cocaine dependency

Sniffing or smoking cocaine to get rid of negative feelings or fatigue brings no more than short-term relief. The problems return full-force, and you crave for more and more coke. Heavy use of cocaine can result in:

  • problems with health, relationships, work and finances
  • restlessness, risk-taking, failing to keep commitments
  • inability to do without cocaine, needing coke for your daily functioning
  • telling lies and making up excuses
  • mounting personal problems
  • exhaustion and gloom
