Cocaine Addiction Treatment in New York, NY

A private psychiatry practice located in NYC, Manhattan and the Upper East Side

Did you know that until as recently as the 1990s, clinicians and researchers thought you could not get addicted to cocaine? They thought that if a person uses it, they could easily stop. All without any physical dependence or psychological dependence. In fact, cocaine was an ingredient in the original formulation of Coca-Cola. Physicians even prescribed it to treat lethargy, depression, and other maladies.

Over the last several decades, cocaine addiction has not only become a possibility. In fact, it has been increasing. According to the National Institute of Drug Abuse in 2013, nearly 10% of all admissions for drug abuse treatment focused on cocaine addiction. This number has only increased over the last 10 years.

Is It Becoming More Difficult to Stop Your Use of Cocaine?

You or a loved one may have noticed that it’s becoming more difficult for you to stop your use of cocaine. It may have started as occasional use at parties or social events. But, it has turned into the inability to either cut down or completely stop. Many people with cocaine addiction problems are also at risk for severe medical complications.

The problem with cocaine addiction is that it explodes your risk of developing other addictions. The most common and worrisome is alcohol addiction. This can be disastrous. A combination of the two in your system balloons the risk of getting massive strokes. This also includes heart attacks, irregular heartbeats, and sudden death. And, these are all occurring in younger and younger people.

But, there are very effective forms of addiction treatment. A well-trained cocaine addiction therapist in New York, NY can set you on the road to stable recovery.

What Are The Symptoms Of Cocaine Addiction?

Everyone experiences cocaine addiction in different ways. But, here are some of the more common symptoms of cocaine dependence.

Increased use despite adverse consequences. Are you having consequences with finances, your relationships, or your health?
Inability to resist cravings to use cocaine. Even when use would be especially problematic
Significant weight loss and decrease in appetite
An increased risk for severe depression. For some, this may progress to thoughts of suicide and not wanting to be alive
Increasing use of other substances, particularly alcohol, leading to alcohol addiction
Deterioration of your physical health and premature death

My treatment approach is comprehensive

My treatment approach takes into consideration the psychological, biological, and social aspects of addiction treatment. We will dive deep into all medical issues related to using or behavioral addictions. This also includes appropriate screening and treatment of all psychiatric issues. We will also work on repairing damaged relationships and trust-building.

Backed by over 25 years of experience

This approach was fine-tuned from over 25 years of experience. I have treated all types of addiction issues. I have also held several clinical appointments as an assistant professor of psychiatry at area medical schools. Plus, I have achieved the honor and distinction of fellowship status in both the American Psychiatric Association (FAPA) and the American Society of Addiction Medicine (FASAM).

We see addiction and substance dependence as a “family disease.” This is because of how it can affect those around the addicted person in major ways. If your relationships are affected, we will address this with intense focus. If right for you, we can get your significant others involved for support outside of our sessions. We can also discuss having family and couples sessions.
