Detoxing from cocaine

Name changed for this.

my using has spiralled after a relationship breakup. I’m using all day every day - it’s like a coping mechanism and it helps me function (I’m aware how ridiculous that sounds btw).

It has to stop but I don’t think I can do it on my own. My mental health is bad anyway but the comedowns take it to another level. If I detox in a private rehab does anyone know if there are meds they can give you to make it easier? Not so much to stop the cravings but to ease the symptoms I know I’ll have to go through to get clean? I have what feels like a total mental breakdown and I know it’s likely to last at least a week maybe longer. I’ve googled but can’t seem to get a definitive answer.

I’ve been going to NA meetings but right now just can’t see the benefits of recovery.

Hey I'm sorry you're going through is recovering from addiction isn't easy at all but you clearly want to stop. Have you tried smart recovery? They're different from ca or na because they don't believe in being powerless or using words such as addict or alcoholic, they help you learn tools to overcome any type of addiction. It's worth checking them out online. A friend of mine who struggled with addiction said the supplement NAC is meant to be good for cravings and helps rebuild the glutamine in the brain which depletes after using so it's worth checking out. Good luck in your recovery you can do it! xx
