Cocaine Recovery Program in Los Angeles — Detox Ends. Recovery Is the Program That Follows.
Detox is three to five days. It stabilizes the body — it doesn't treat the crash that comes next. Titan Recovery Center's Los Angeles cocaine recovery program is the residential continuum built around the post-acute crash: psychiatric monitoring, Contingency Management, and dual-diagnosis care that actually moves the relapse needle.
A cocaine recovery program in Los Angeles is the residential treatment that begins where detox ends. Because cocaine has no FDA-approved detox medication and no dangerous physical withdrawal, the work isn't medical clearance — it's behavioral and psychiatric. The clinically important window is the post-acute crash: severe depression, anhedonia, and intense cravings that can last weeks and carry real suicide risk.
Titan Recovery Center treats that window directly — 30 to 90 days of residential care, psychiatric monitoring through the crash, Contingency Management (NIDA's strongest-evidence stimulant therapy), integrated dual diagnosis, and a fentanyl screen on admission. Joint Commission accredited, PPO accepted, admissions 24/7 at (747) 292-7904.
The detox is the easy part. The crash is where people relapse.
If you only treat the first five days, you discharge a patient right into the deepest part of the depression. That's the structural mistake most facilities make with stimulants — and it's why a cocaine recovery program is a different thing than a cocaine detox.
↓ Medical detox — days 1 to 5
The acute physical phase is short and rarely dangerous. There's no seizure risk like alcohol or benzodiazepines, and no FDA-approved medication that "detoxes" cocaine. Sleep, mood, and cardiovascular stabilization are managed here. If you're at this stage, start with our Los Angeles cocaine detox page.
↻ The recovery program — weeks 1 to 12
This is the post-acute crash: depression, anhedonia, and cravings that build after detox finishes. It's the highest-risk window for relapse and suicidal ideation. Treating it requires residential structure, behavioral therapy, and psychiatry — not a discharge after five days. (New to the symptoms? See the full cocaine withdrawal timeline.)
One license, one continuum — assessment to aftercare
Titan holds ASAM Level 3.7 medical detox and ASAM Level 3.5 residential treatment under a single DHCS license, so you don't get transferred between facilities at the most fragile moment. Here's the path a cocaine recovery program actually runs:
Contingency Management is the backbone — not an add-on
For stimulant use disorder there is no medication that does the heavy lifting, so the behavioral therapy is the treatment. Contingency Management has the strongest evidence base of any approach (per NIDA's research on cocaine), and at Titan it's the foundation, reinforced with CBT and motivational interviewing.
Psychiatry runs the whole stay, not just intake
The crash is a psychiatric event. An on-site Medical Director and psychiatric monitoring continue through the post-acute window — Titan does not discharge at day five.
Co-occurring conditions are treated here, not referred out
Most people using cocaine are also managing depression, anxiety, or trauma. Those are treated inside the same program from day one, which is what integrated dual diagnosis actually means.
Built specifically for stimulant recovery
CM Contingency Management
NIDA's strongest-evidence therapy for stimulant use disorder — structured reinforcement of verified abstinence, used as the program's spine.
CBT Cognitive & relapse work
CBT, motivational interviewing, and relapse-prevention planning that target the specific triggers and cue-reactivity of cocaine use.
Rx Psychiatric support
Medications to support sleep, mood, and cravings during the crash, plus full treatment of any co-occurring psychiatric condition.
♥ Cardiovascular assessment
Cocaine is hard on the heart. Every admission gets a cardiovascular screen, with monitoring built into the residential stay.
⚕ Integrated dual diagnosis
Depression, anxiety, and trauma treated inside the program — not handed off to an outside provider after discharge.
→ Aftercare & step-down
A structured exit: outpatient step-down, alumni support, and an ongoing plan so the gains of residential care hold.
Why 30 days is the floor, not the target
The acute physical phase is over in days. The crash — the part that drives relapse — is measured in weeks. Program length should match the crash, not the detox.
| Program length | Best fit | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| 30 days | Shorter or lower-intensity use; strong outside support | Full detox + the front of the crash + behavioral foundation. The clinical minimum for a stimulant program. |
| 60 days | Longer use history or a prior relapse | Carries the patient through the depth of the post-acute crash and embeds Contingency Management habits. |
| 90 days | Heavy, long-term use or significant co-occurring conditions | Associated with the strongest outcomes; full dual-diagnosis stabilization and relapse-prevention practice. |
Length of stay is set clinically and adjusted to your response — not sold as a fixed package. Your plan is built at assessment.
What separates a real stimulant program from a detox-only bed
| What to ask | Titan Recovery Center | Typical detox-only facility |
|---|---|---|
| Treats the post-acute crash, not just days 1–5 | Residential continuum, 30–90 days | Discharge after detox |
| Contingency Management as the core therapy | Yes — program backbone | Often unavailable |
| On-site Medical Director (not on-call) | Micheal Wondimu, MD — on-site | On-call coverage |
| Fentanyl screen on every admission | Standard protocol | Inconsistent |
| Dual diagnosis treated in-house | Integrated from day one | Referred out |
| Detox + residential under one license | ASAM 3.7 + 3.5, one license | Transfers between facilities |
When you tour or call any LA program, ask these six questions. The answers tell you whether you're buying a recovery program or a detox bed.
What a cocaine recovery program costs in Los Angeles
Sticker prices for LA residential treatment are high — but most people with PPO insurance pay a fraction of them. Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most plans must cover substance use treatment at parity with medical care, so your real number depends on your plan, not the list price.
| Level of care | Typical LA self-pay range | With PPO insurance |
|---|---|---|
| 30-day residential program | $20,000 – $40,000+ | Often a deductible + coinsurance share |
| 60–90-day residential | $40,000 – $90,000+ | Frequently covered with authorization |
| Medical detox component | Bundled into program | Covered as ASAM 3.7 |
Ranges are general LA-market figures for orientation, not a Titan quote. The only number that matters is your verified benefit.

Cocaine recovery program FAQ
What is a cocaine recovery program, and how is it different from detox?
Cocaine detox is the short 3–5 day acute phase. A cocaine recovery program is the residential continuum that follows it — psychiatric monitoring through the post-acute crash, Contingency Management and CBT, dual-diagnosis care, and relapse prevention. Detox stabilizes you; the recovery program is what actually changes the outcome. If you're still at the detox stage, start with our cocaine detox page.
How long is a cocaine recovery program in Los Angeles?
Most stimulant recovery programs run 30 to 90 days. Because cocaine's post-acute crash — depression, anhedonia, and cravings — can last weeks, Titan treats 30 days as the clinical minimum, with 60–90 days associated with stronger outcomes for heavier or longer-term use.
Is there a medication that cures cocaine addiction?
No. Unlike opioids (buprenorphine) or alcohol (a benzodiazepine taper), there is no FDA-approved medication that treats cocaine use disorder. Recovery is behavioral and psychiatric. Contingency Management is the strongest-evidence approach, with medications used to support sleep, mood, and any co-occurring conditions.
Does insurance cover a cocaine recovery program?
Usually, yes. Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most PPO plans must cover substance use treatment at parity with medical care. Titan accepts most major PPO plans and verifies your benefits — including deductible and out-of-pocket exposure — before you commit. Start a verification here.
Why does a stimulant program need psychiatric monitoring if withdrawal isn't physically dangerous?
Cocaine withdrawal carries no seizure risk like alcohol or benzodiazepines, but the post-acute crash brings severe depression and real suicide risk. That psychiatric danger — not physical withdrawal — is the reason inpatient monitoring matters during cocaine recovery.
Do you screen for fentanyl?
Yes. Counterfeit and contaminated cocaine increasingly contains fentanyl. Titan runs a fentanyl urine screen on every stimulant admission and adjusts care accordingly — if opioids are involved, the inpatient detox protocol is added.
Recovery starts after detox — let's build the program around the crash.
