Cocaine/Crack Cocaine Addiction Treatment

One of the oldest and widely used drugs, Cocaine is a powerfully addictive stimulant that directly affects the brain. Cocaine comes in two different chemical forms. The first is a powdered form, which can be snorted or dissolved into water to be injected. The other form is known as “crack”. Crack cocaine comes in a rock crystal form, which when heated produces vapors that are inhaled. The word “crack” refers to the crackling sound made from heating and smoking the rock crystal.

Cocaine users generally experience high levels of pleasure and euphoria, which ultimately leads to its increased use and consequently, addiction. If usage is stopped, the individual will experience an intense crash, which magnifies the need to continue using. Cocaine users are generally at risk for:

• Heart attack, seizures and in rare instances sudden death
• Constricted blood vessels, increased heart rate and blood pressure
• Restlessness, paranoia, irritability and anxiety
• Marriage, family and societal problems
• Employment troubles

In addition to the risks above, crack cocaine users may also experience:

• Acute respiratory problems, including coughing, shortness of breath, lung trauma and bleeding
• Extreme aggressive and paranoid behavior
