If you recognize you have an addiction to cocaine or are looking for help for a friend or loved one, remember that when you are choosing a treatment option your most important consideration is: What will give this person the best chance at long-term recovery?

For most people, cocaine addiction has a very strong grip on their lives.  It is rarely possible for a truly addicted person to quit using this drug on their own.  For this reason, most addiction treatment specialists recommend residential treatment as the best course of action for someone with a cocaine addiction.
