You can quit meth and cocaine for good
A digital recovery app is a game changer for addiction treatment
Detoxing from meth and cocaine is a rough process.
The good news is you don’t have to go it alone, you can begin using our digital program right away and give yourself the best chance at a successful recovery.
While there is no FDA-approved medication to treat methamphetamine or cocaine use disorder like there is for opioids, research has shown there are medications that may help reduce your cravings and treat common co-occuring conditions.
Detoxification alone does not address the psychological, social, and behavioral problems associated with addiction and therefore does not typically produce lasting behavioral changes necessary for recovery.

What is the difference between detox and rehab?
Detoxification, also called “withdrawal management,” is a medical intervention process aimed at helping a substance abuser get through the experience of acute withdrawal. Detox is the process of getting all addictive substances out of your body. A detox center is a medically supervised facility that handles symptoms related to drug detox. Detox programs generally last 3, 5, or 7 days depending upon the substance, frequency of use and intensity.
A residential rehab or inpatient rehabilitation facility is a place where someone will live for a month or more while they start their recovery journey. Patients are supervised 24/7 and have no access to drug supply so they can avoid temptation and triggers. Inpatient rehab can be very expensive.
Unfortunately, the highly addictive nature of drugs like cocaine and meth result in 60 percent of people relapsing within 30 days of leaving a residential treatment program as they return to their lives where supply is available and triggers are everywhere. 85 percent of people relapse within one year.

How long does meth stay in your system?
How long meth can be detected in your system by drug tests depends upon how much meth is used, how potent it is, and how frequently it is used. Different types of drug tests can detect the presence of meth over longer periods of time.
- Blood: One to three days.
- Saliva: One to four days.
- Urine: One to seven days.
- Hair: Up to 90 days.
What are the stages of meth withdrawal
Patients usually go through the following withdrawal stages. Physical, psychological, and behavioral withdrawal symptoms are likely to occur during this time. Symptoms may begin around 24 hours after your last dose and can last for weeks. Two to three weeks seems to be the average timeline:
- Days 1 to 10: This period is called the “crash” or “come down” and is marked by cravings, fatigue, reduced energy, long periods of sleep, and increased appetite. The symptoms usually increase in intensity by day three of abstinence and peak by day 7. Some individuals have suicidal thoughts or are unable to feel pleasure as withdrawal progresses to day 10.
- Days 10 to 14: Intense drug cravings, anxiety, depression, insomnia, loss of appetite, and paranoia are common during this phase. Cravings and depression can persist for several weeks to months after this stage.
- Week 3 and onward: Drug cravings and other symptoms begin to fade as the client is stabilized. At this time, the client is usually ready to move to therapy. Behavioral addiction therapy helps recovering individuals see the link between thoughts, life stresses, mental health disorders, and substance abuse.

You understood me and made sure I was safe in the midst of all my experiences.
I love my coach. He’s a licensed professional, not just another former addict.
This program is actually useful. My DUI program takes an hour just to do roll call.
This program changed my life. I now have goals. Before I had nothing.
