Our Point of Difference:
Trauma-Informed & Medically Supported Cocaine Withdrawal & Care
We offer a hospital-based Cocaine Rehab program in that is safe, structured, and delivered with expert clinical oversight. Our trauma-informed approach supports both body and mind, helping individuals move through detoxification with dignity, care, and confidence.
A Structured Program for Safe Cocaine Withdrawal
Our program includes a 28-day cocaine detoxification program, conducted in a residential hospital setting under the supervision of doctors, psychiatrists, nurses, and counsellors. Medications are used carefully and only when required to support safe withdrawal and reduce discomfort during detox.
Before admission, you will take part in a pre-admission assessment, usually face-to-face. During this, we discuss your history, outline the program in detail, and confirm it’s the right fit for your needs. We also explain private health insurance arrangements so you clearly understand any out-of-pocket costs.
A Holistic, Human-Centred Approach
At Malvern Private, we believe recovery is about more than just detox. Our program is designed to care for the whole person… mind, body, and soul through therapies and treatments that nurture long-term wellbeing.
– Care from a specialist team of doctors, psychiatrists, nurses, and counsellors
– Individual and group therapy, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
– Complementary therapies such as art therapy, yoga, and relaxation practices
– Access to NA, AA, GA, and in-house support groups
– Discharge planning with a focus on relapse prevention and ongoing recovery strategies
– Family education and support, encouraging loved ones to be part of the healing journey
Does Cocaine Dependence Happen Slowly or All at Once?
Cocaine dependence can develop in different ways. For some people, it happens gradually, what begins as occasional for partying and socialising develops into something where you use it to cope with stress, social pressure, or emotional pain may slowly become more frequent. Over time, the brain adapts to the drug, leading to tolerance, cravings, and difficulty functioning without it.
For others, dependence can feel more sudden. Cocaine’s powerful effects on the brain’s reward system can make patterns of heavy use develop quickly, especially during periods of high stress or frequent partying. What may start as occasional use can rapidly shift into a central way of coping with life’s challenges.
We understand that every journey into cocaine addiction is unique. That’s why our programs are designed to support both those who have been struggling for years and those who feel their use has escalated more quickly.

You Can Break Free from Misconceptions & Social Pressure

When you come into treatment for cocaine addiction, it isn’t just about stopping the drug. It’s about building new habits that make recovery possible. You’ll learn how to take care of your body again with regular routines, better sleep, and healthy coping strategies. You’ll pick up tools to manage stress without relying on cocaine things like mindfulness, exercise, or talking through challenges instead of bottling them up.
You’ll also learn how to rebuild confidence, repair relationships, and make choices that support long-term wellbeing. It’s about creating a life that feels good enough that you don’t need cocaine to get through it.
Recent data from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare shows that cocaine use and related harm are rising concerns in Australia. Because cocaine is often normalised in social circles, it can be difficult to recognise when use has become harmful. The reality is that the impact on health, relationships, and mental wellbeing can be serious. Early support makes all the difference, helping you break the cycle and build a healthier future.
Don’t wait to break free.

Are These Warning Signs Starting to Feel Normal?

Serious cocaine use doesn’t always look the same, but there are common patterns that can signal when dependence is taking hold. Ask yourself if any of these feel familiar:
-
Using more cocaine than you intended, or more often than planned
-
Promising yourself you’ll cut down or stop, but finding it difficult to follow through
-
Experiencing withdrawal symptoms such as fatigue, irritability, or anxiety when you don’t use
-
Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities because cocaine use takes priority
-
Continuing to use despite knowing it’s damaging your health or relationships
-
Regretting your actions afterwards, or putting yourself in risky situations while under the influence
-
Spending money on cocaine at the expense of other important commitments
-
Needing larger amounts over time to feel the same effect
If these signs feel familiar, you don’t have to go through it alone. Cocaine addiction is treatable, and effective, compassionate support is available. Our hospital-based programs provide safe withdrawal management, therapeutic care, and a structured path toward lasting recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Cocaine Withdrawal & Recovery
What is Cocaine Withdrawal?
Cocaine withdrawal is the body and mind’s reaction when someone who has been using cocaine regularly reduces or stops. Unlike opioids or alcohol, cocaine withdrawal is not usually physically dangerous, but it can be extremely uncomfortable and is often marked by strong psychological symptoms that make relapse more likely without support.
Common cocaine withdrawal symptoms include:
-
Intense cravings for cocaine
-
Fatigue and low energy
-
Difficulty concentrating
-
Irritability, anxiety, or agitation
-
Low mood or depression
-
Disturbed sleep, including vivid dreams or insomnia
-
Increased appetite
Symptoms can begin within hours of the last use, often peak over the first few days, and may last one to two weeks. Psychological effects such as cravings or low mood can linger much longer, which is why structured treatment is so important.
Our cocaine withdrawal program provides 24/7 medical oversight and therapeutic support in a safe hospital setting. This helps ease discomfort, reduce relapse risk, and set the foundation for long-term recovery.
Does Malvern Private Drug & Detox Hospital work with private health funds?
What are the signs of Cocaine dependence?
Cocaine dependence happens when the body and mind adapt to regular use, making it difficult to function without the drug. The signs can look different for everyone, but common indicators include:
-
Using more cocaine than you planned, or using more often than intended
-
Craving cocaine or feeling preoccupied with the next use
-
Struggling to cut down or stop, even when you want to
-
Experiencing withdrawal symptoms such as fatigue, irritability, or anxiety when you don’t use
-
Building tolerance and needing larger amounts to feel the same effect
-
Neglecting responsibilities at work, school, or home
-
Withdrawing from friends, family, or social activities
-
Continuing to use despite health issues, financial stress, or relationship problems
-
Spending more time and money obtaining and using cocaine
Recognising these signs is the first step. At Our Drug & Detox Hospital, our hospital-based cocaine rehab programs provide safe withdrawal management, therapeutic support, and a structured pathway toward long-term recovery.
How does your Cocaine addiction program work?
Our cocaine addiction treatment program is designed to provide safe withdrawal, emotional support, and long-term recovery planning in a private hospital setting.
Here’s what to expect:
Pre-admission assessment
We start with a confidential assessment, usually face-to-face, where we learn about your history, explain the program in detail, and confirm it’s the right fit. We’ll also discuss private health insurance so you know your costs upfront.
Inpatient cocaine withdrawal (detox)
Patients are admitted into our boutique hospital environment where withdrawal is carefully managed under 24/7 medical supervision. Medications are used only when needed to ease symptoms and keep you safe.
Therapeutic treatment
You’ll take part in individual and group therapy, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), designed to address the psychological side of cocaine dependence. Holistic support such as yoga, mindfulness, and art therapy helps you heal emotionally as well as physically.
Family and peer support
We encourage family education and involvement, and provide access to peer groups such as NA (Narcotics Anonymous), creating a strong support network around you.
Discharge planning and aftercare
Before leaving, you’ll receive a personalised recovery plan focused on relapse prevention and ongoing strategies. Outpatient programs and community support may also form part of your aftercare.
Our goal is to not only help you safely withdraw from cocaine but also to give you the tools, strategies, and support you need to build a healthier, sustainable life.
How long does Cocaine detox take?
The length of cocaine detox can vary depending on how long and how heavily someone has been using, but withdrawal symptoms usually begin within hours of the last dose. The most intense phase typically lasts about 3 to 7 days, during which cravings, fatigue, low mood, and sleep problems are common.
Some people may continue to experience lingering symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, or strong cravings for several weeks. This is why medical supervision and therapeutic support are so important during detox.
Cocaine detox is usually part of a structured 28-day inpatient program. This allows patients to move safely through the withdrawal phase, while also beginning therapy, holistic treatment, and relapse-prevention planning for long-term recovery.
Start your detox journey now. Don’t delay another day.
What are the withdrawal symptoms of Cocaine?
When someone who regularly uses cocaine reduces or stops, the body and mind react to its absence. This process is known as cocaine withdrawal, and while it is rarely physically dangerous, it can be very uncomfortable and emotionally challenging.
Common cocaine withdrawal symptoms include:
-
Strong cravings for cocaine
-
Fatigue and low energy
-
Irritability, restlessness, or agitation
-
Low mood or depression
-
Anxiety or nervousness
-
Difficulty concentrating
-
Disturbed sleep, vivid dreams, or insomnia
-
Increased appetite
Symptoms often start within hours of the last use, peak within the first few days, and may last one to two weeks. Some emotional effects, such as cravings or low mood, can continue for longer without the right support.
We provide 24/7 medical supervision, therapeutic support, and holistic care to make the process safer and more manageable.
The detox journey comes with challenges, but it’s never too late to begin. With the right support, the benefits of recovery are deeply rewarding and life-changing.
What is a dual diagnosis, and could it be a part of my Cocaine addiction?
A dual diagnosis happens when someone is living with both cocaine addiction and a mental health condition at the same time. This could include depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder.
Recognising dual diagnosis matters because treating only the addiction or only the mental health issue often leads to relapse. Cocaine use may start as a way to cope with stress or trauma, but over time it can make those underlying conditions worse, creating a cycle that’s hard to break without the right support.
We specialise in trauma-informed care, which makes us unique. We understand how past experiences and emotional pain can drive cocaine use, and we build treatment around the whole person.
With medical detox, psychiatric support, therapies such as CBT, and holistic practices like mindfulness and yoga, we provide integrated care that addresses both the addiction and the mental health condition.
This approach gives you the best chance of achieving lasting recovery and building a stronger, healthier future.
How confidential is my treatment?
Your privacy is a priority at Malvern Private Hospital. All aspects of your alcohol detox treatment are managed in line with strict medical and hospital confidentiality standards.
This means that:
-
Your personal information and medical records are kept secure and only shared with the healthcare professionals directly involved in your care.
-
Details about your treatment are not disclosed to anyone outside your care team without your consent, except where required by law.
-
Family involvement in your treatment only occurs if you choose to include them and provide permission.
Confidentiality helps create a safe and respectful environment where you can focus on your recovery knowing your information is protected.
What happens after detox?
Detox is only the beginning. Cocaine withdrawal is a tough step, but recovery is about much more than simply getting through those first days. The real work happens afterwards—learning new ways to cope, finding strength in support, and building a life that feels worth staying well for.
The cocaine detox program is part of a 28-day residential program. Once the withdrawal phase is managed safely, you continue with structured therapies, emotional support, and guidance from a team who walk beside you every step of the way.
After detox, your recovery journey includes:
-
Ongoing counselling and group therapy, where you learn practical skills and find encouragement from others who understand
-
Evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to shift thought patterns and strengthen resilience
-
Holistic practices such as art therapy, yoga, and relaxation to support both mind and body
-
Connection with peer and in-house support groups like NA, AA, and GA, so you know you’re never alone
-
Relapse prevention strategies, designed to help you stay strong when faced with challenges
-
Education and guidance for families, so your loved ones can walk the journey with you
What makes Malvern different is our commitment to you. We don’t just treat the immediate crisis we support you in rebuilding your confidence, reshaping habits, and creating a meaningful future. Our team stays focused on helping you develop the tools and support networks that keep recovery strong, even when life feels difficult.
Because recovery is not a one-time event. It’s a journey. And at Malvern, you don’t have to take it alone.

What happens after detox?
Detox is only the beginning. Cocaine withdrawal is a tough step, but recovery is about much more than simply getting through those first days. The real work happens afterwards—learning new ways to cope, finding strength in support, and building a life that feels worth staying well for.
The cocaine detox program is part of a 28-day residential program. Once the withdrawal phase is managed safely, you continue with structured therapies, emotional support, and guidance from a team who walk beside you every step of the way.
After detox, your recovery journey includes:
-
Ongoing counselling and group therapy, where you learn practical skills and find encouragement from others who understand
-
Evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to shift thought patterns and strengthen resilience
-
Holistic practices such as art therapy, yoga, and relaxation to support both mind and body
-
Connection with peer and in-house support groups like NA, AA, and GA, so you know you’re never alone
-
Relapse prevention strategies, designed to help you stay strong when faced with challenges
-
Education and guidance for families, so your loved ones can walk the journey with you
