Treating Cocaine Addiction
Cocaine is perceived as an exclusive, high-end drug. Many people do not consider it a dangerous addictive drug. On the contrary, it is treated as a recreational drug that can provide unforgettable experiences. Due to its high price, it is popular in business and artistic circles, wealthy people, children from rich homes. Nevertheless, cocaine is classified as a substance with a high addictive potential and has a significant impact on the mental and physical life of a person.
What does cocaine look like?
Cocaine is referred to as coke, white lady, snow and occurs as a white, occasionally yellow, crystalline powder. The drug can be ingested in various ways, but most commonly it is taken by snorting up the nose or rubbing into the gums or other mucous membranes.
A specific form of cocaine is crack, which can only be taken by smoking. Crack is usually a white-gray or beige pebble-shaped substance packaged in vials or foil pouches.
What does cocaine addiction look like?
Cocaine is the most well-known drug belonging to the group of stimulants, i.e. agents that stimulate the nervous system. It has a stimulating, euphoric effect. Cocaine consumption increases the production of serotonin and dopamine, two neurotransmitters responsible for the feeling of pleasure. The effect of taking the substance appears a few minutes after taking it. Common experiences with its use include:
- Feeling of satisfaction
- Euphoria
- Feeling of inner power
- Increased self-confidence
- Increased libido
- The feeling of being indestructible
- Getting rid of fears, anxiety, complexes
- Pugnacity
- Psychomotor agitation
Many people reach for cocaine in difficult life situations as a remedy for their pain and stress. Some people take up to a year to become addicted to cocaine. The time frame that determines addiction depends on the frequency of drug use, the amount of substance consumed, and the method of use.
What are the symptoms of cocaine addiction?
Cocaine abuse is mainly seen as a change in behavior and lifestyle. People addicted to cocaine can change their face 180 degrees in a few hours. On the one hand, they are extremely self-confident, articulate, go-getting and very effective. The second face is related to the cessation of the effects of cocaine and is associated with mood deterioration, visible fears, and undermining.
Some of the cocaine addiction syndromes are:
- Hyperactivity
- Excessive excitement
- Runny nose, nosebleed
- Verbosity
- Problems with concentration
- Decreased appetite
Often the old habits of a person with a cocaine problem change beyond recognition. For example, someone has always been well-groomed and well-dressed, and now rarely bathes or takes care of personal grooming and hygiene.

What are the effects of cocaine addiction?
The “magical” effects of cocaine last quite a while. After about 20-30 minutes, the intensity of her euphoric effect decreases and a rapid depression of mood begins. Cocaine withdrawal symptoms are not as dangerous and extreme as in the case of cessation of alcohol, opiate or benzodiazepine consumption and are largely related to the psychological sphere of a person. Some of the most common symptoms of cocaine withdrawal, which can occur shortly after the last dose taken, include:
- Paranoia
- Increased fears
- Psychosis
- Thoughts of suicide
- Insomnia
- Impotence
- Hallucinations
- Depression
- Impotence
- Nightmares
- Psychomotor slowdown
- Cocaine craving
Most of the above symptoms disappear after 7-10 days from the start of abstinence, however, some of them may manifest themselves for months, such as cocaine craving.
Personality changes resulting from addiction and withdrawal may persist for some time depending on the intensity and duration of the addiction.
For people addicted to cocaine, it is recommended that they seek help from specialist addiction treatment centres.
