From people who recovered here
Our Cocaine Rehab Reviews
Walking through those doors the first day, my hands wouldn't stop shaking. Alcohol destroyed my relationships and left me completely isolated. Thankfully, the counselors here actually listened instead of lecturing. Sitting in these exact group circles changed everything for me. Hearing other people share their raw, real struggles made the loneliness disappear. Celebrating six months sober today. This place gives you your life back.
Coming here felt like a massive leap into the unknown, especially dealing with all that shame I carried around. The team at Ascend Recovery Center didn't treat me like a problem to be solved, but a person worth helping. There were days I wanted to pack my bags and bolt, but the support here kept me grounded. Now, I actually wake up without that weight on my chest. It's hard to put into words, but this place truly changed my trajectory.
Had an amazing experience here, one of the most personable groups of people to come to for recovery and truly helped me with developing the tools necessary to start my recovery. Did the 10 day detox and got exactly what I wanted out of the experience: healthy nutrition, great groups, and even your own personal TV in the rooms to help pass the time. If you're serious about your recovery and want a wholesome, worthwhile and safe place to do it, I recommend coming here.
Levels of care
Cocaine Addiction Treatment Programs
Because cocaine use disorder has no FDA-approved medication, Ascend Recovery Center builds recovery on behavioral therapy and steady medical support, delivered across a full continuum of care on one Albuquerque campus. Clients step down through each level without switching providers at the crash and the fragile weeks that follow, when relapse risk is highest.
01Medical Detox
Cocaine does not usually cause dangerous physical withdrawal, so medical detox is not always required, but a medical assessment matters, especially when cocaine is combined with alcohol or opioids. Licensed practical nurses are on site 24 hours a day, and a provider monitors closely for the deep depression and suicide risk that can follow the crash.
02Inpatient Rehab (Residential)
Residential treatment provides round-the-clock support through the cocaine crash, when depression and cravings are strongest and the pull to use again is hardest to resist. In an 18-bed setting, clients rest, stabilize, and begin the behavioral therapy that stimulant recovery depends on.
03Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
A partial hospitalization program delivers full clinical days of CBT and DBT while a client returns home each evening. It keeps the structure of residential care in place as a client steps down and starts practicing relapse-prevention skills in daily life.
04Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
An intensive outpatient program offers several clinical hours a few days a week, so clients can rebuild work, school, and family routines while staying in treatment. Group and individual sessions keep clients mapping the people, places, and feelings that trigger cravings during the transition home.
05Outpatient Rehab
Outpatient care provides lighter, ongoing support and relapse-prevention planning as mood and energy return in the months after the crash. It keeps clients connected to the same clinical team for accountability and continued care for any co-occurring depression.

Treatment timeline
What to Expect During Cocaine Treatment at Ascend?
1. Support through the stimulant crash
The early phase focuses on rest, sleep and mood support, and monitoring for suicide risk during the crash, with 24/7 LPN nursing when clinically indicated. There is no fixed detox, since cocaine withdrawal is mostly psychological.
2. Residential care and behavioral therapy
Care shifts to structured CBT and DBT, group work, and routine, with individual sessions each week and a plan built from a full assessment.
3. Day treatment and intensive outpatient
A client steps down to Day Treatment and IOP, keeping strong clinical support while returning home and practicing relapse-prevention skills in daily life.
4. Outpatient and relapse prevention
Lighter outpatient support, continued care for any co-occurring depression, and relapse-prevention planning help protect progress as cravings ease over time.

How admissions works
Our Cocaine Treatment Admission Process
Call our confidential line
One conversation covers a first screening, insurance verification, and scheduling. Support begins with the first call, and nothing shared is used against the person who reaches out.
Clinical assessment
Evidence-based screenings, including PHQ-9, GAD-7, the Columbia Suicide Screening, and an ASAM level-of-care assessment, match each client to the right program.
The right level of care
If medically supervised detox is needed, the team coordinates a safe arrival with 24/7 nursing. If an outpatient level fits, care starts there instead.
Start treatment
Once a plan and coverage are confirmed, treatment begins, with therapy and medication where appropriate carrying through each level of care.
Cocaine Treatment Led by Licensed Clinicians at Ascend
Ascend is led by an experienced behavioral health team focused on quality care and strong outcomes.
Know the signs
What are the common signs of Cocaine Use Disorder?
No single sign confirms a substance use disorder, but a cluster over time is worth a professional conversation.
Bursts of energy and confidence
High energy, talkativeness, and confidence during use, followed by exhaustion and low mood as it wears off.
Changes in sleep and appetite
Noticeable weight loss, disrupted sleep, and, with snorting, nosebleeds or nasal problems.
Using more than intended
Using cocaine in larger amounts or more often than planned, and being unable to cut down.
Using despite consequences
Continuing to use despite health, legal, or relationship consequences.
Financial strain and secrecy
Financial problems, secrecy, or borrowing money to keep using between binges.
Neglecting responsibilities
Letting work, school, and family responsibilities slip as use takes priority.

For families
How to help a loved one struggling with cocaine addiction
Recognize the signs
Tolerance, withdrawal, failed attempts to cut back, and use that continues despite harm are all worth paying attention to. A cluster of signs over time matters more than any one.
Start the conversation
Choose a calm, private moment. Lead with care and specific observations rather than blame, listen more than lecture, and offer a concrete next step.
Avoid harmful approaches
Skip shaming and ultimatums delivered in anger, and never encourage a person to stop a substance abruptly on their own, since some withdrawals are dangerous.
Connect them with care
One confidential call to Ascend covers education, options, and insurance. In a crisis, call 911, or call or text the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
