What Is Medically Supervised Cocaine Detox?

At Journey Hillside’s luxury Tarzana detox center, we provide compassionate, medically supervised care to help you safely clear cocaine from your system while our team manages the depression, fatigue, and cravings that define early withdrawal. Cocaine detox is the first step in recovery, designed to stabilize you emotionally and physically while keeping you comfortable, supported, and monitored 24/7.

When you stop using cocaine after regular or heavy use, the brain’s dopamine system, which cocaine disrupts by blocking the dopamine transporter, is left depleted. That chemical deficit produces the low mood, exhaustion, and intense cravings that characterize early withdrawal. Our clinical team manages those symptoms with individualized plans that may include off-label medications, nutritional support, and clinical programming and experiential therapies.

Cocaine withdrawal can range from mild psychological discomfort to severe depressive symptoms with suicidal ideation, depending on factors like:

Your overall health and length of cocaine use
Daily dose, binge patterns, and frequency of use
Co-occurring mental health conditions such as depression or anxiety
Polysubstance use, particularly combining cocaine with alcohol or benzodiazepines
Previous detox history

Because each client’s experience is unique, our team provides round-the-clock monitoring to ensure your safety. This integrated approach helps you build a stronger foundation for long-term recovery before transitioning into our Residential Treatment Program.

The Importance of Medically Supervised Cocaine Detox

Attempting cocaine detox without medical supervision can be dangerous and, in some cases, life-threatening. Our expert team carefully monitors:

Vital signs and hydration levels
Cardiac function, particularly in clients with heavy recent use
Mood changes, suicidal ideation, and psychiatric risk
Medication needs for safety and comfort
Emotional support during early recovery

This medically supported environment sets the foundation for long-term sobriety.

A FRESH START AT JOURNEY HILLSIDE TARZANA

The recovery journey typically begins with a detox program

Cocaine detox is one of the early challenges faced by patients due to a process called withdrawal. Unlike alcohol or opioid withdrawal, cocaine withdrawal is primarily psychological, producing deep fatigue, depression, anxiety, restlessness, and in some cases suicidal thoughts. This is because prolonged cocaine use causes the brain to produce less dopamine on its own, leaving the reward system depleted when the drug is stopped. Over time, the brain gradually rebalances, but the early days of withdrawal and detox require close clinical and emotional support.

Journey Hillside Tarzana is equipped with an experienced, compassionate medical staff available around the clock and highly skilled in managing both the psychiatric and physical aspects of stimulant withdrawal. When traces of cocaine remain in the body and the brain is still recalibrating, it’s more difficult to resist cravings and leave old patterns of behavior behind. A comprehensive detox allows patients to start their treatment experience with a clean slate and a clear mind. The tools we use to help patients have a safe, positive experience include:

Tarzana Cocaine Detox Program

While these symptoms are uncomfortable, for many clients they can also be dangerous. Severe depression and suicidal ideation can emerge within the first days of cocaine withdrawal, and clients who relapse face a heightened risk of overdose due to reduced tolerance. Many people also self-medicate with alcohol or benzodiazepines during this period, which can create further complications. This is why we believe that a professional, medically supervised cocaine detox program is a critical step that keeps patients safe as they prepare for the remainder of their recovery journey.

A QUIET, CALMING ENVIRONMENT

Journey Hillside Tarzana is nestled in the peaceful, secluded hills of Los Angeles to give patients the serenity, peace, and relaxation they need as they heal from cocaine addiction. Our exclusive facility offers both anonymity and comfort so patients can undergo medical detox without the distractions, interruptions, or stresses of everyday life. Each patient is provided with a quiet, private space for an atmosphere of rest and relaxation. Surrounded by lush, green grounds with modern accommodations and high-end amenities such as a Jacuzzi, pool, and pristine common areas, clients at Journey Hillside Tarzana can recover in a restorative environment that promotes well-being, healing, and renewal. Our supportive staff is well-versed in addiction medicine and exceptionally skilled in managing the psychological symptoms that define stimulant withdrawal, including mood instability, depressive episodes, and craving management. Because there is currently no FDA-approved medication for cocaine use disorder, our clinical approach focuses on targeted off-label symptom management, evidence-based behavioral therapies, and integrated dual-diagnosis treatment when co-occurring conditions are present. Once you’ve completed medical detox, we help you transition seamlessly into our residential treatment program where clients work closely with clinicians on their substance use history and begin the in-depth work of rebuilding both physical and mental health for long-term, sustainable sobriety.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

What makes Journey Hillside’s cocaine detox program different?

Journey Hillside Tarzana is an exclusive six-bed luxury facility, which means our clinical team can provide a level of one-on-one attention that larger rehab centers simply cannot match. Because cocaine withdrawal is primarily psychological, close observation matters. Our limited admissions allow our medical and psychiatric staff to monitor each client individually, adjust care quickly, and build a fully tailored treatment plan. We combine 24/7 medical supervision, on-call psychiatry, evidence-based behavioral therapies, and experiential care in a private, restorative Los Angeles setting. Your information is 100% confidential from the first call forward.

How long does cocaine detox take at Journey Hillside?

For most clients, the acute phase of cocaine withdrawal lasts approximately 7 to 10 days, though the exact timeline depends on length of use, daily dose, polysubstance use, and any co-occurring mental health conditions. Some symptoms, particularly depression, fatigue, sleep disruption, and intermittent cravings, can persist for weeks or months as part of Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome (PAWS). Our team develops an individualized detox timeline for every client and supports you through each phase before transitioning you into our Residential Treatment Program.

What are the phases of cocaine withdrawal?

Cocaine withdrawal typically moves through several recognized phases. The crash begins within hours of the last dose and brings extreme fatigue, increased sleep, and low mood.

Early acute withdrawal (days 1 to 3) introduces emerging cravings, anxiety, and mood instability.
Peak acute withdrawal (days 4 to 7) is often the most difficult stretch, with intense cravings and deepening depression.
Late acute withdrawal (days 7 to 14) brings gradual stabilization.

The extinction phase can continue for weeks to months, with intermittent cravings triggered by environmental cues. Our clinical team provides close monitoring and support through every phase.

What are the symptoms of cocaine withdrawal?

Cocaine withdrawal is primarily psychological rather than physically life-threatening, but its emotional intensity can be significant. Common symptoms include:

Depression
Intense cravings
Fatigue
Anxiety
Irritability
Vivid dreams
Increased appetite
Difficulty concentrating
Mood swings
Sleep disruption
Anhedonia (an inability to feel pleasure)

In some cases, clients also experience suicidal thoughts, which is why medical supervision and psychiatric monitoring are so important during the early days of detox.

What is PAWS and how long does it last after cocaine detox?

Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome (PAWS) describes the cluster of psychological and cognitive symptoms that can continue after the acute withdrawal phase ends. For cocaine specifically, PAWS commonly produces depression, persistent low mood, fatigue, sleep disruption, low motivation, and intermittent cravings that come and go. These symptoms occur because the brain’s dopamine and neuropeptide systems need extended time to rebalance after chronic stimulant exposure. PAWS can last several weeks to several months, and it is more common after heavy or prolonged cocaine use. Ongoing therapy, structured programming, exercise, peer support, and continued care significantly reduce its impact.

Is medication-assisted treatment available for cocaine detox?

There is currently no FDA-approved medication specifically for cocaine use disorder or cocaine withdrawal, which differs from opioid or alcohol detox where replacement or tapering medications are standard. At Journey Hillside Tarzana, our clinical team uses targeted off-label medications when appropriate to manage specific symptoms. This may include antidepressants for persistent low mood, short-term sleep aids for insomnia, and closely monitored medications for severe agitation. Investigational agents such as modafinil, topiramate, and disulfiram have shown mixed results in research settings. Medication is always combined with evidence-based behavioral therapies for the strongest outcomes.

Can cocaine withdrawal be dangerous?

Cocaine withdrawal rarely produces the seizures or autonomic instability associated with severe alcohol or benzodiazepine withdrawal, but that does not mean it is safe to manage alone. The primary dangers are psychiatric. Severe depression, hopelessness, and suicidal ideation can emerge within the first days after stopping. Some clients also self-medicate with alcohol or benzodiazepines during withdrawal, and those who relapse face a heightened risk of cocaine overdose due to reduced tolerance. If you or a loved one is in crisis, call 911 or the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline immediately. For supervised detox, call Journey Hillside at (877) 414-1024.

How is cocaine withdrawal different from alcohol or opioid withdrawal?

The three substances produce very different withdrawal profiles. Alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal can cause seizures, delirium tremens, and life-threatening complications, which is why medical tapering is often essential. Opioid withdrawal produces pronounced physical symptoms like nausea, sweating, and muscle pain, and has FDA-approved medications such as buprenorphine and methadone for treatment. Cocaine withdrawal is driven primarily by psychological symptoms, including depression, cravings, fatigue, and anhedonia, with fewer physical complications. Because no approved tapering protocol exists for cocaine, the focus is on psychiatric safety, symptom management, and behavioral therapy. All three benefit from dual-diagnosis treatment when co-occurring mental health conditions are present.

What happens after completing the Cocaine Detox Program at Journey Hillside Tarzana?

Detox is just the first step in a longer recovery process. After medical stabilization, most clients transition directly into our Residential Treatment Program, where the real work of rebuilding physical and mental health begins. Residential care includes individual therapy, group therapy, dual-diagnosis treatment, relapse-prevention planning, and experiential therapies such as yoga, sound healing, and hiking. Our case management team coordinates every handoff, whether you’re stepping down to outpatient care, returning home with aftercare support, or continuing with one of our specialty tracks. To start the admissions process, call us at (877) 414-1024 or verify your insurance.
