Similar to that of the amphetamines category, recovering from cocaine addiction at home is going to take mostly willpower, persistence, perserverance, and a whole lot of nothing. Recovering from cocaine, as in any stimulant, will vary based on how long you were addicted to the substance, the dosages you were using, and finally how much you eat and exercise during the withdrawal (yes you read that last one right.)
How to speed up the withdrawal and get back to being healthy as soon as possible! (The unconventional way)
Now I'm no doctor, but if you absolutely need to recover from cocaine at home, the first thing you're going to need to do is heal your brain, and more specifically your neurotransmitters.
Dopamine: Supplement with L-Tyrosine, it's ten dollars for a bottle of 60, 500 milligram tablets. Take up to TWELVE of these tablets a day while you are going through withdrawal, it will make you feel a little bit closer to normal while you are on them, and will speed up what is the main cause of your withdrawal. Continue this as needed or until you feel extremely tired when you continue to take this dosage (indicating your brain is healthy.) Another tip is to take 300mg of L-Theanine each night before you go to bed, it will help you sleep more in REM in a less time possible. Try to get as much sleep as possible during the first weeks of withdrawal and be sure to workout on a regular basis while detoxing from cocaine (even if it kills you, just get it done.)
Seratonin: Though cocaine doesn't act as heavily on your seratonin receptors, supplementing 5-HTP once each night before you go to bed may help restore any damage that may've been done to it. It will also help build up your immune system.
Get antibiotics if you need them: During my amphetamine withdrawal, I thought a fever was common, so instead of getting antibiotics, I treated it as part of the addiction. DO NOT DO THIS, if anything go to a doctor, tell all your ailments not related to your drug usage, and get some antibiotics, it'll make sure that you know how your recovery is progressing and will make sure you don't suffer anymore than needed.
Tip: Try to eat a TON of food during withdrawal, and minimize the food with too much junk in it. Meats, fruits/veggies, carbs, tons of protein shakes, will help restore your brain and immune system and will be sure that you make a full, long lasting recovery.
Time Span For Cocaine Withdrawal (more or less:/)
days 1-3 The initial crashing phase, this is the period where (depending on how much you've taken) you feel the full onset of the drugs crash. Nausea, chest pains, depression, nosebleeds, sore throat, anhedonia etc. Sleep off the crash as best you can and try to start taking your L-Tyrosine as early as possible
3 days-1 Week: The initial Withdrawal phase, You're going to feel like absolute hell during this phase of the withdrawal, and should feel a lot better (at least by comparison) after getting through the first week.
1 week- 6 months- This is where you'll undergo PAWS, or Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome, a delayed reaction withdrawal syndrome in which symptoms come and go, typically coming with depression, anxiety and extreme fatigue a few days out of every week. It's best to stay on the Tyrosine during this stage, and to try to push through the pain of withdrawal, don't worry, you'll know when it finally ends.

Final Thoughts:
I wish you the best of luck during your recovery, and don't sweat if you have a few lapses, or even relapses along your recovery journey, it's all a big part of your recovery, and will eventually land you at the final stage, true and total sobriety once again.
