Cocaine Detox and Withdrawal Timeline
Cocaine detox is a highly supervised short-term program that helps people get through cocaine withdrawal safely and with as little discomfort as possible. The professionals who staff detox programs are familiar with all aspects of cocaine withdrawal, including the typical timeline.
- The first symptoms of cocaine withdrawal can begin to occur within a few hours of a person’s last use of the drug.
- The first two to three days are usually the most difficult. During this phase, people are likely to feel exhausted and irritable. They may also struggle with depression and anxiety. Anhedonia (an inability to feel pleasure) is also common during the initial days of cocaine withdrawal.
- The most intense cocaine withdrawal symptoms typically begin to dissipate after about three days. But certain symptoms may linger for several weeks, or even months. During this part of the cocaine withdrawal timeline, people may still experience powerful cravings for cocaine. They may also continue to struggle with diminished energy levels and irritability.
- After about 10 weeks, most cocaine withdrawal symptoms should have subsided. However, people who are in recovery from cocaine addiction may still experience cravings for the drug for an extended period. But if they completed cocaine addiction treatment after finishing detox, they should have developed skills to help them manage their cravings and avoid relapse.
