Some people might think that cocaine triggers an instant release of the chemical dopamine naturally produced in the body (the "pleasure" chemical). this assumption is inacurate. what cocaine does is plug dopamine receptors with its own mimic chemicals, and flurishes the receiving receptors with it. the reason cocaine addicts may experience depression is because it blocks natural dopamine from transporting from point A to point B for a time (depending on amount of use,the person using, etc.) after the euphoric effects wear off. But man you gotta love that cocaine.

What is an alternative if any to traditional rehab for cocaine abuse?

There is no real safe alternative. Identify "triggers" that cause you to use cocaine. Separate and attempt to control these triggers. Cocaine withdrawal physically does not take too long. However, psychological effects may last several months after cessation of the drug. These triggers are usually cues such as location, friends, cash flow, anything else that triggers desire for cocaine. It is best to surround yourself with supportive people, talk to other addicts that are clean. The first couple of months are the hardest, especially if you smoke crack or use cocaine intravenously. You could try the new cocaine vaccine? Most importantly tell family and friends your plans and make yourself accountable. It is VERY difficult to stop using cocaine. The percentage of people who have successfully kicked is very low. Good luck.
