A serious problem, but a treatable one

You are not alone the only one — and you are not beyond help

According to the 2023 National Drug Strategy Household Survey, 4.5% of Australians used cocaine in the past year — over a million people. Not everyone who tries crack will become addicted, but for many, it becomes a powerful dependency that's hard to break alone.

Many of us at The Hader Clinic have lived through addiction and recovery ourselves. We know what crack does to your thinking, your body, and your relationships, and we know what works. Further down this page, we’ll explain our services, introduce our rehab programs, and share our crack rehab success rate which shows long-term recovery is possible.

  • Crack addiction is intense, but it is treatable, and we offer a clear, structured path forward
  • You can begin with medical detox in our Geelong hospital, then move into residential rehab in Essendon for deeper therapeutic work
  • Our 90-day program is built to support real, lasting recovery, with a focus on routine, emotional healing, and relapse prevention

Understanding crack addiction

What crack addiction is, and why it's so hard to stop

Crack cocaine is a powerful stimulant: it’s a form of cocaine that rapidly alters brain chemistry and can quickly lead to addiction. Understanding its effects is the first step toward recovery from crack cocaine addiction.

What crack addiction really is

Crack is a form of cocaine that is smoked, fast-acting, and intensely addictive. Its effects are short-lived but intensely rewarding, which often leads to chronic crack cocaine use. Over time, it causes extreme cravings and psychological dependence. Crack users may feel trapped in a cycle of binging and crashing. Most people can't stop without entering a treatment facility that focuses on treating crack cocaine addiction.

Signs and symptoms of crack addiction

Signs of crack addiction affect behaviour, appearance, and emotions. People struggling with crack cocaine may become withdrawn, agitated, or impulsive. These are the visible signs of a deeper problem: a stimulant use disorder that requires timely and appropriate intervention. Without support, symptoms often escalate into dangerous behaviour, psychosis, or overdose.

  • Sudden energy shifts or aggressive behaviour can be a sign of stimulant-related distress.
  • People may become secretive or disappear for long periods while using.
  • Cravings can dominate daily thoughts, leading to panic or despair when unable to use.

Effects of crack use on your health and life

The effects of crack use can be devastating. Smoking crack cocaine harms the brain, heart, and lungs, and has long-term consequences for mental health. The emotional crash that follows use can be overwhelming, often fuelling further substance use and worsening dependency. The long-term effects of crack may include psychosis, paranoia, and memory loss, especially in cases of chronic use.

  • Extended crack use can cause lasting damage to blood vessels and organ systems.
  • Sleep deprivation and poor nutrition are common in chronic crack use.
  • Relationships often deteriorate due to trust issues and unpredictable behaviour.

Treatment for crack cocaine addiction

Treating crack addiction requires a comprehensive crack cocaine treatment plan. A good rehab treatment program offers medical detox, behavioural therapy, and long-term support. Options for crack cocaine recovery may also include dual diagnosis care for co-occurring conditions. Our crack cocaine rehab supports full transformation.

  • Treatment plans are adapted to each person’s mental health, use history, and relapse risk.
  • Therapy helps patients explore the emotional roots of crack cocaine use.
  • Ongoing support ensures the recovery process continues beyond discharge.

Recovery from crack addiction is possible

Crack cocaine recovery is possible, but it takes time, courage, and the right help. Whether you’re thinking about attending rehab or already in recovery, know that lasting change is possible. Many who once felt hopeless have rebuilt their lives through structured support and compassionate care. Our rehab has saved lives and it can change yours, too.

  • Recovery often begins with small wins like better sleep, stable mood, and connection.
  • Long-term recovery requires consistency, honesty, and access to the right support.
  • Many former users go on to help others, using their experience to guide recovery.

자주 묻는 질문

What people ask about crack addiction rehab

What can I expect during crack detox and withdrawal?

Crack detox is often the first experience many people have with a treatment centre. It's the critical start to a crack addiction treatment program.

Crack detox is the first step in treatment, and often the most physically and emotionally intense. Once someone stops using, the body begins to clear the substance, which brings on cocaine withdrawal symptoms. These can start within hours of the last dose and vary in severity depending on how long, how often, and how much someone has been using.

During inpatient detox, our clinical team provides 24/7 monitoring and medical support. For crack specifically, there are no standard medications to ease withdrawal, but we use supportive care to address sleep problems, restlessness, anxiety, and severe mood changes. Many people also experience strong psychological symptoms such as depression, hopelessness, and cravings.

Common symptoms during detox include:

  • Insomnia, vivid dreams, and disrupted sleep patterns.
  • Intense mood swings, anxiety, or agitation.
  • Deep fatigue and slowed physical responses.
  • Cognitive fog, difficulty concentrating, and emotional numbness.

After the acute phase, some individuals experience lingering symptoms known as post-acute withdrawal syndrome (PAWS). These can last weeks or months and may include irritability, difficulty managing stress, or low motivation. Our inpatient team helps manage these challenges with routine, psychological support, and clear structure — essential tools for avoiding relapse. You can read more about post-acute withdrawal syndrome in our resource centre.

How long does crack addiction rehab usually take?

There’s no single answer to this question, because effective treatment for crack addiction depends on the person’s needs, history, and progress over time. That said, many people start with structured inpatient care for 28 days and may extend their stay or continue into transitional housing or aftercare depending on their situation.

The Hader Clinic offers a range of program lengths:

  • 28-day inpatient withdrawal and stabilisation at our hospital facility.
  • 30, 60 or 90-day residential programs focused on trauma, relapse prevention, and long-term change.
  • Extended care and transitional housing, which provide step-down support for those rebuilding their lives.

This approach supports both short-term stabilisation and long-term effects of crack recovery. We also explore whether a person has experienced chronic crack cocaine use or relapsed after past treatment, to tailor the support they need.

We’ll help you determine the right approach by looking at your history with crack use, your physical and mental health, and how ready you are to engage in therapy. Many of our team members have been through rehab themselves, and we understand how important it is not to rush the process.

To learn more about our different program durations and treatment stages, visit our page on rehab programs.

What kind of support is available for mental health issues?

Mental health plays a major role in both the development and recovery from crack addiction. Many people who struggle with substances are also living with trauma, depression, anxiety, or other mental health conditions, and often, these issues are deeply intertwined.

At our treatment facility, we provide fully integrated dual diagnosis care. That means we treat mental health and substance use together, with a team of psychiatrists, psychologists, and counsellors who understand how they overlap. We also offer trauma-specific support, including EMDR and specialised group therapy for PTSD.

Here’s what our comprehensive crack cocaine treatment can include:

  • Comprehensive mental health assessment upon admission.
  • Individual and group therapy with a dual diagnosis specialist.
  • Access to trauma counselling, mood stabilisation, and medical review.

We’re committed to helping you recover your life. Not just managing symptoms, but building long-term resilience. You can learn more about how we approach substance abuse and comorbidity, or explore our mental health rehab services.

Can I get help if I’ve already been through rehab before?

Yes — and we encourage you to reach out again. Recovery is rarely a straight line, and for many people, it takes more than one attempt to find lasting stability. That’s not failure. That’s part of the process.

At The Hader Clinic, we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. If you’ve been to rehab before, we take the time to understand what helped, what didn’t, and what needs to be different this time. Often that means a longer stay, deeper trauma work, or greater structure and accountability.

We support those seeking treatment and rehab again with:

  • Personalised treatment planning based on past experience.
  • Optional extended stays or step-down care.
  • A compassionate, non-judgemental team — many of us have been there too.

We offer a full range of rehab services for people at every stage of recovery, including relapse prevention, transitional support, and outpatient counselling. If you’re attending rehab for crack again, we’ll ensure the program is more aligned with your current needs.

How do you treat cravings and triggers during recovery?

Cravings and triggers are a normal part of the recovery process, not a sign of failure. What matters is how you manage them. At The Hader Clinic, we don’t just expect cravings. We plan for them.

From your first day in treatment, we begin helping you understand your personal triggers, develop healthy coping strategies, and learn how to respond when those moments arise. This approach isn’t just theoretical. It’s grounded in lived experience — many of our staff have faced the same struggles.

Our relapse prevention support includes:

  • Daily group therapy focused on emotional regulation and resilience.
  • One-on-one relapse prevention planning with a qualified counsellor.
  • Skills training to manage cravings, stress, and social pressures.

Many crack users may experience crack cocaine cravings long after detox, especially when exposed to triggers. Our team provides ongoing strategies to help you stay away from crack cocaine and navigate these moments with strength. Learn more about our relapse prevention services.

What’s the difference between short and long-term rehab?

Short-term rehab usually refers to programs lasting around 28 to 30 days, while long-term rehab may span 60, 90, or more days depending on the individual’s needs. Both options offer benefits, but the right fit depends on your history, your goals, and how ready you are to make lasting change.

In general, short-term rehab provides a foundation: detox, structure, and an introduction to therapy. Long-term rehab offers deeper transformation and more time to address trauma, rewire behaviours, and build strong relapse prevention habits.

We’ll help you decide which is right for you. Here’s how they compare:

  • Short-term rehab: Intensive early recovery support and detox.
  • Long-term rehab: Extended psychological care and deeper healing.
  • Both options include aftercare planning and support services.

To explore the full benefits and structure of longer programs, such as our twenty-eight-day treatment program or extended care, visit our page on long-term rehab.

How do I encourage someone I love to enter crack rehab?

It’s heartbreaking to watch someone you care about struggling with crack cocaine. You may feel helpless, angry, or scared. But your support can make a real difference, especially when it’s grounded in compassion, persistence, and good information.

At The Hader Clinic, we guide families through this difficult process. We help you learn how to communicate effectively, set healthy boundaries, and create the conditions for your loved one to seek help.

Here are some things you can do:

  • Focus on care, not confrontation. Blame pushes people away, but empathy brings them closer.
  • Stay consistent. It can take time for someone to accept help, but consistency shows you’re serious.
  • Get your own support. Family counselling or our Family Support Program can give you the tools you need.

If your loved one is open to it, we can speak with them directly, answer their questions, and guide them through what to expect. For more advice, read our guide on how to convince an addict to go to rehab.

What makes your crack rehab program more effective than others?

We believe what makes our program different is our people and the lived experience that shapes our care. Many of our staff have personally overcome crack cocaine addiction and know exactly how difficult, painful, and rewarding this journey can be.

But beyond that, our crack rehab program is a comprehensive crack cocaine treatment plan: medically sound, trauma-informed, and built around the realities of stimulant addiction. We don’t offer a quick fix. We walk with you from withdrawal through inpatient treatment, aftercare, and beyond.

Key features of our program:

  • Full medical detox with 24/7 support.
  • Individualised therapy plans shaped by your history and needs.
  • A long-term view of recovery — not just abstinence, but a better life.

We also offer specific relapse prevention support, housing transition options, and help with mental health challenges. Our program is designed to help you recover from crack cocaine abuse in a structured, safe, and deeply personal way. To learn more, visit our page about our crack rehab program.
