If you want to know how to get cocaine out of your system, there could be multiple reasons. For example, you might have a drug test coming up. The truth is that there’s no quick fix. People who stop using cocaine after ongoing drug use are at risk of withdrawal symptoms. These can be physical and mental. They range in severity and may require varying degrees of treatment. Providing trusted addiction and mental health treatment in MA, Northstar Recovery Center is here to help.
Summary: Detox programs can help you get cocaine out of your system safely. Northstar provides outpatient addiction treatment for cocaine abuse. If needed, we can refer you to an inpatient detox program nearby.
How to Get Cocaine Out of Your System
Although there are various “tips” online that claim to help people flush cocaine and other drugs out of their bodies fast, these aren’t always effective, let alone safe. If you’re wondering how to get cocaine out of your system, it is important to have professional support. Depending on your needs, this may include:
- Inpatient medical detox. Partnering with facilities throughout Massachusetts and New England, we can refer you to a drug detox center nearby if you need inpatient medical detox. The Northstar team will match you with a trusted detox program in your area that suits your needs, goals, and insurance coverage.
- Outpatient detox. Some people getting off of cocaine will be able to get off of cocaine while receiving outpatient withdrawal management and treatment services. If that is the case for you, our team can help.
Detox programs provide medical monitoring, medication, hydration, emotional support, and other services to help people get off of cocaine safely and avoid relapse during the early stages of recovery.

Addiction Day Treatment Programs In Massachusetts
Our addiction day treatment programs in Massachusetts provide immersive therapy for cocaine addiction on an outpatient basis. Clients in this program get an amount of therapy similar to what’s offered in a typical inpatient program while living off-site. You’ll attend your preferred Northstar Recovery Center location from 9 AM to 3:30 PM, five days a week (Monday through Friday), and on Saturdays from 9 AM to 2 PM as a participant in this program. Your schedule will consist of daily group therapy, once weekly individual therapy, 12-step, family therapy (if appropriate), and other activities, such as yoga and niche recovery groups, depending on your treatment needs.
IOP In Massachusetts
Our intensive outpatient program (IOP) in Massachusetts is the next step down from day treatment. People might start treatment in IOP, or they might transition to our IOP after finishing day treatment. IOP meets for three hours per day. Multiple schedules are available:
- Mornings: 9 AM to noon.
- Afternoons: 12:30 to 3:30 PM.
- Evenings: 6 PM to 9 PM in Southborough or 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM in West Springfield.
Saturday sessions meet from 9 AM to noon. The IOP at Northstar allows you to balance cocaine addiction treatment with other responsibilities, such as work or school, which is vital for many clients.
Virtual Addiction Treatment In Massachusetts
In addition to our in-person recovery programs, we are proud to offer virtual addiction treatment in Massachusetts for those overcoming cocaine addiction. You can choose from our fully virtual partial hospitalization program, our fully virtual IOP, and a hybrid model (a mixture of in-person and online sessions). Virtual sessions meet over a secure online platform. This is also an option for loved ones who will be participating in family therapy sessions.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment Centers
Estimates indicate that 65 to 73 percent of people with cocaine addiction have one or more additional mental health disorders, not including other substance use disorders. It is ideal to address these in treatment. This is called dual diagnosis or integrated care. Our dual diagnosis treatment centers in Massachusetts address mental health and addiction simultaneously to support positive treatment outcomes in people facing all types of substance use disorders.

FAQs
How long does cocaine stay detectable in the body?
The high from cocaine is often short-lived, but when it’s over, cocaine can still be detected in your system. How long cocaine stays detectable in the body depends on factors like the type of drug test you get. For example:
- Urine: Urine tests usually detect cocaine for around 2-3 days, but it is possible for a urine test to show cocaine for weeks in heavy users.
- Saliva: Cocaine is often detectable via a saliva test for about 1-2 days after your last use.
- Blood: Blood drug tests typically detect cocaine and its metabolites for about 1-2 days.
- Hair: Hair tests may detect cocaine for months after last use.
Factors like frequency of use, how much cocaine you use, body size, and health status can affect how long cocaine shows up in a drug test.
What are some of the most common symptoms of cocaine withdrawal?
Common symptoms of cocaine withdrawal include:
- Drug cravings (urges to use cocaine).
- Increased appetite.
- Vivid or unpleasant dreams.
- Slowed psychomotor activity.
- Depressed mood.
- Agitation and restlessness.
- General discomfort.
- Fatigue.
The symptoms of cocaine withdrawal dissipate as time goes on. Some symptoms, like drug cravings, can stick around for longer. This is part of why addiction therapy programs are so crucial. It’s essential to have support and effective coping skills to turn to when cravings emerge.
Does insurance cover cocaine detox and addiction treatment?
Yes. Your insurance plan should help you cover the costs associated with cocaine detox and addiction treatment. The addiction treatment programs at both Northstar Recovery Center locations are covered by most insurances. Our team will verify your insurance benefits, 100% cost, and commitment-free. If you need a referral to an inpatient detox for cocaine addiction, we’ll help you find a program covered by your insurance plan.
