Do I have a problem with cocaine?
You do not have to use every day for it to be a problem
Cocaine problems can stay hidden for a long time. You may still be working, socialising and keeping up appearances while weekends become binges, the comedowns get darker and more of your life is spent planning, using or recovering. If you recognise yourself here, help is available.
01
A night turns into a binge
You use more or for longer than you intended, then keep going even after you wanted to stop.
02
The last time is never the last time
You delete numbers, make rules or swear it off, but find yourself returning when the next trigger arrives.
03
Cocaine takes up more space
You think about getting it, hide your use, spend more money than planned or lose days to the comedown.
04
You need it to feel confident or switched on
Socialising, sex, work or drinking can begin to feel flat or difficult without cocaine.
05
The comedown is getting harder
Anxiety, irritability, exhaustion, poor sleep, paranoia or low mood follow the high and can pull you back into using.
06
Your life is paying the price
Relationships, work, finances or health are suffering, but knowing the consequences has not been enough to stop.
You are not expected to break this cycle alone.
You do not need to use every day, reach a crisis or be certain that rehab is right. If cocaine is taking more than you want to give it, one confidential conversation can help you see a way forward.
Understanding cocaine addiction
This is not a lack of discipline
Cocaine use disorder is the medical term for finding it difficult to control cocaine use despite the harm it is causing. Cocaine acts quickly on the brain's reward system. The intense but short-lived high can make repeated use feel urgent, while the crash can leave you exhausted, anxious and desperate to feel different again.
For some people, cocaine becomes tied to confidence, performance, alcohol, social situations or relief from difficult feelings. Over time, the cycle can narrow your life until much of your energy goes into chasing the high, managing the consequences and promising yourself it will be different next time.
A proper assessment looks beyond how often you use. It considers binges, cravings, mental and physical health, other substances, risk, relationships and what cocaine has come to do for you. Treatment then gives you practical ways to interrupt the pattern and build something stronger in its place.
Cocaine addiction is treatable. People recover after years of use and after many attempts to stop. You can feel clear, capable and genuinely interested in life again without needing cocaine to create that feeling.
Cocaine crash and withdrawal
What happens when you stop using cocaine?
Withdrawal is different for everyone. It depends on how much and how often you use, whether you binge, your sleep and nutrition, your mental health and whether alcohol or other drugs are involved. The crash can feel intense, but it does pass and support can make it safer and more manageable.
The first hours and days
The crash may begin
Exhaustion, increased sleep or difficulty sleeping, low mood, anxiety, irritability, hunger and strong cravings can follow the last use.
Over the following days and weeks
Energy and mood can fluctuate
Concentration, motivation, pleasure and sleep may take time to settle. Cravings can appear suddenly, especially around familiar people, places or alcohol.
In the weeks that follow
Recovery keeps moving
Some people experience low mood, disturbed sleep or cravings for longer. Structure, therapy, connection and continuing care help the brain and daily life adjust.
A supported start can make a real difference
Cocaine withdrawal is not usually medically dangerous in the same way as alcohol withdrawal, but severe depression, suicidal thoughts, psychosis and relapse risk require prompt professional support. A clinical assessment can identify what you need, including care for other substances or health concerns.
Get urgent medical help
Call your local emergency services or go to the nearest emergency department for chest pain, difficulty breathing, a seizure, collapse, extreme agitation or confusion, hallucinations, severe paranoia, or thoughts or plans of harming yourself. Do not wait for a website response.
Cocaine addiction treatment
There is a way out of the binge and crash cycle
You do not have to feel motivated every minute or know how the rest of your life will work. Treatment creates enough distance from the cycle for your body and mind to settle, then helps you understand your triggers, manage cravings and rediscover confidence and enjoyment that are real and sustainable.
01
Rest and stabilise
We begin with a careful assessment, sleep, nutrition, routine and support through the crash, including attention to mood, safety and any other substances involved.
02
Understand what keeps pulling you back
One-to-one and group work explores the situations, feelings and beliefs connected to cocaine without judgement or a one-size-fits-all explanation.
03
Build a response that works
Evidence-informed behavioural work, addiction education and relapse prevention help you manage cravings, interrupt automatic choices and navigate high-risk situations.
04
Get your real energy back
Movement, adventure and connection begin from the first week, helping confidence, pleasure and a sense of possibility return without the high and crash.
05
Prepare for life after treatment
We make practical plans for work, money, relationships, social settings, alcohol, cravings and continuing support so progress has somewhere to go.

Questions about cocaine addiction
Clear answers when you are working out what to do
You do not have to diagnose yourself, reach crisis point or commit to treatment before asking for help.
How do I know if I am addicted to cocaine?
Signs include using more than intended, repeated unsuccessful attempts to stop, strong cravings, binges, spending significant time getting or recovering from cocaine, and continuing despite harm to health, work, finances or relationships. Daily use is not required for a problem to be serious.
Can I stop cocaine on my own?
Some people do, but cravings, low mood and familiar triggers can make relapse common. Professional support is especially important if you experience severe depression, suicidal thoughts, paranoia or psychosis, use other substances, or keep returning to cocaine despite trying to stop.
What does cocaine withdrawal feel like?
It can involve intense cravings, exhaustion, disturbed or increased sleep, increased appetite, anxiety, irritability, low mood, poor concentration and reduced ability to feel pleasure. The experience varies and should be assessed individually.
How long does cocaine withdrawal last?
The initial crash may begin within hours and last several days. Sleep, mood, motivation and cravings can fluctuate for weeks, and some symptoms may persist longer. There is no single timeline, particularly when use has been heavy or other substances are involved.
Do I need detox for cocaine?
Not everyone needs a medical detox in the same way as someone dependent on alcohol or benzodiazepines. An assessment can determine whether you need supervised withdrawal, mental health support or medical care for cocaine, other substances or related health concerns.
Is there medication for cocaine addiction?
There is currently no medication specifically approved to treat cocaine use disorder. Treatment usually centres on evidence-based behavioural therapies, structured support, recovery planning and care for co-occurring mental or physical health needs.
What happens in cocaine rehab?
Residential treatment provides distance from access and triggers, a stable routine, individual and group therapy, addiction education, craving and relapse planning, wellbeing, activities and a practical plan for returning home.
How long should I stay?
The right length depends on your pattern of use, mental and physical health, stability and home environment. Foundations offers 30, 60 and 90-day options, with longer stays available. We can help you consider what is realistic without expecting you to decide everything now.
Can Australians use superannuation for treatment?
Eligible Australians may be able to apply for early release of superannuation on compassionate grounds to help fund treatment. Approval is not guaranteed, but we can explain the process and the documentation usually required.
