Cocaine addiction can derail an adolescent’s future, but with the right treatment, meaningful change is within reach. White River Academy in Utah provides comprehensive residential treatment for teen boys struggling with cocaine use.

Cocaine addiction occurs when a person cannot stop using cocaine despite negative consequences. The drug overstimulates the brain’s reward system, creating intense but brief euphoria. Teens are especially vulnerable, as their brains are still developing and more sensitive to the drug’s effects.
Over time, cocaine use can lead to serious mental, emotional, and physical problems. It often starts with experimentation and quickly becomes a harmful habit.
At White River Academy, we educate students on the nature of addiction and provide the tools they need to overcome dependency through therapy, academic structure, and healthy, guided daily routines.

We use evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help teens recognize and manage cravings. Students learn to identify triggers and replace drug-seeking behavior with healthier responses. Mindfulness, fitness, and structured routines also help reduce the intensity of cravings. Our staff provides constant support to guide students through moments of temptation.
Cocaine typically stays in the body for 2–4 days, but frequent use can extend that timeframe. Drug tests may detect metabolites for up to 10 days, depending on the dosage and frequency. Withdrawal symptoms can begin within hours and last several days. Our clinical team monitors each student and provides support during this critical period.
Yes, many students come to White River Academy with polysubstance use, including alcohol, marijuana, or prescription drugs. Our clinical team is trained to evaluate and treat multiple substance use issues simultaneously. We create a personalized plan that addresses all forms of substance use and their underlying causes.
While recovery is possible outside of rehab, most teens need structured, professional support to achieve real change. Cocaine’s strong psychological pull and short-lived high make it extremely hard to quit without guidance. At White River Academy, we provide consistent therapy, accountability, and a healing environment that greatly improve the chances of success.
Our program teaches real-world skills like emotional regulation, time management, and decision-making. We guide students through relapse prevention planning and help them build support systems at home. Aftercare recommendations may include therapy, school planning, and continued family involvement. Teens leave with a toolkit they can use long after treatment ends.
