Cocaine is a fast-acting stimulant that delivers an intense but short-lived high — often followed by deep emotional crashes. For many, this leads to repeated use in an attempt to chase euphoria and avoid distress. Over time, cocaine addiction becomes more than physical — it becomes psychological and deeply intertwined with underlying mental health struggles.
At Amity Palm Beach, we treat cocaine addiction with a whole-person, clinically integrated approach. We understand that substance use is often a symptom of something deeper — trauma, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or unresolved emotional pain. That’s why our program specializes in dual diagnosis treatment, addressing both the addiction and the mental health conditions that fuel it.
What Makes Cocaine Addiction Unique?
Unlike substances that sedate or numb, cocaine stimulates the brain’s reward system, increasing energy, alertness, and impulsivity. This can make it especially appealing — and dangerous — for individuals dealing with:
Depression or chronic fatigue
ADHD or attention dysregulation
Bipolar disorder (especially during manic phases)
Past trauma and emotional numbness
Social anxiety or low self-esteem
But what starts as a coping tool quickly becomes a dependency. As the brain adapts, tolerance increases, and emotional crashes become more severe. This can spiral into mental health crises, paranoia, and even psychosis.
Signs of Cocaine Addiction & Co-Occurring Mental Health Issues
Mood swings or increased irritability
Paranoia, anxiety, or panic attacks
Insomnia or erratic sleep patterns
Rapid speech or pressured thoughts
Financial or legal issues related to use
Depression during “comedown” phases
Isolation or erratic social behavior
Inability to function without using
If you or someone you love is showing these signs, it’s time to seek help — not just for the addiction, but for what’s underneath it.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment for Cocaine Use
At Amity Palm Beach, our dual diagnosis program is designed for people who struggle with both cocaine addiction and mental health disorders. We provide:
Psychiatric evaluations to assess co-occurring conditions
Integrated treatment plans for addiction and mental health
Medication management for mood stabilization or anxiety
Evidence-based therapies (CBT, DBT, trauma therapy)
Relapse prevention and emotional regulation strategies

Aftercare planning and alumni support for long-term success
We don’t treat you like a label or a diagnosis. We treat you like a person — complex, worthy, and capable of real change.
