About Cocaine Addiction

Cocaine addiction treatment in psychiatry is a comprehensive, evidence-based process designed to help individuals overcome dependence on cocaine and reclaim their lives. It is not a single procedure but a structured therapeutic program led by a psychiatrist. Treatment typically involves a combination of medical management, psychotherapy, and behavioral interventions. The initial phase focuses on managing acute withdrawal symptoms and cravings, often using supportive medications. The core of treatment involves intensive psychotherapy, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Contingency Management, to address the underlying psychological drivers of addiction, develop coping skills, and prevent relapse. Long-term recovery is supported through ongoing counseling, support groups, and aftercare planning to build a stable, drug-free life.

PATIENT REVIEW

As a 72-year-old retired classical dancer...

As a 72-year-old retired classical dancer with treatment-resistant depression, I'd lost all joy in life until Dr. Kurinjinathan introduced me to novel neuromodulation therapy. His integration of movement therapy with medication completely transformed my recovery, I'm now teaching dance to seniors with mental health challenges.
