How is cocaine addiction treated? " � In general, treatment involves addiction counseling and taking part in a support group. � �
- Addiction counseling " � People with addiction work with a counselor to better understand their addiction. They learn new ways to lead their life that do not involve drugs.
- Support groups " � In support groups, people with addiction share their experiences with each other. The most common of these groups is Cocaine Anonymous (www.ca.org), but some people dislike that it involves God or a "higher power. " � There are other groups that do not have that as a focus.
Some people cannot stop using cocaine even with counseling and support groups. They might benefit from a more structured treatment program that includes specific types of therapy, behavioral exercises, and routine drug testing. � �
There are also a few medicines that are being studied to help people stay off cocaine. There is not enough proof yet that they work, so doctors are not ready to recommend them. � �
For specific situations, there are other treatments. An example is family therapy, which can be especially helpful for children or teens with addiction who have families willing to participate in treatment. � �
