Cocaine Facts and What You Need to Know about Cocaine Addiction

Cocaine is obtained from the leaves of the coca plant and was originally found in countries like Peru and Bolivia. People would chew the leaves to achieve the stimulant drug effect. A person often feels an increased energy boost and a temporary feeling of euphoria after the drug is administered whether injected, snorted or inhaled. Cocaine is highly addictive and can easily become a compulsive habit for a person experimenting with the drug. It is commonly known as “crack” in its freebase form and is one of the most widely abused stimulants in the U.S. today. This potent drug majorly impacts the central nervous system by increasing levels of dopamine in the brain which leads to increased feelings of pleasure or “Cocaine in the brain”. The high can last from 20 minutes up to several hours depending on the dosage, purity, and method of administration.

A large enough dose can result in death due to cardiac arrest or overdose.

Some signs of heavy cocaine use are:

Decrease in appetite
Euphoria
Dilated pupils
Rise in temperature
Bloodshot eyes and redness
Increase in blood pressure
Constricting of blood vessels
Decreased interest in previously enjoyed activities and relationships
Need to consume more and more of the drug to experience the same “feeling”

A Few Common Causes of Cocaine Addiction

Our compassionate team of qualified professionals works with you to develop and implement a treatment plan that meets the individual patient’s needs.

A person’s personality is a major contributor to the onset of cocaine use. Traits that may pose the greatest risk include psychological disorders, easily angered, lack of self-control, anxiety, high-stress level or loneliness. Cocaine is often used to help alleviate the pressures that result from these traits.
The biological makeup of a person or a person who has an immediate relative that is an addict may be more susceptible to drug abuse.
Cocaine is naturally addictive and can quickly turn into a compulsive habit. The vicious cycle starts with a euphoric high which leads to extreme craving when the substance wears off. The person is faced with the immediate need for more cocaine and the cycle is difficult to stop as more and more cocaine is needed to achieve that same euphoric effect.

What Are the Effects of Cocaine Addiction?

One of the lesser known facts about cocaine is that chronic cocaine use causes brain cells to misfire because of the imbalances in neurotransmitter levels. Receptors disappear then reappear from the cell’s surface causing an erratic “on” and “off” pattern. Chronic cocaine use often leads to increased states of depression and anxiety. The long-term use of cocaine may also result in more dangerous health consequences such as a lifetime risk of heart attacks and possibly death. Some consequences of cocaine use include:

Physical Effects

Heart attacks
Restlessness
Headache
Sinus Diseases, Hoarseness, nasal irritation, depletion of septum, collapse of nasal passage
Bronchitis
Birth defects when used by pregnant women, miscarriage
HIV, Hepatitis A and B (caused by sharing IV needles)
Nausea

Emotional Effects

Anxiety
Irritability
Paranoia
Hallucinations
Mood disturbances

Effects of Cocaine Withdrawal

Fatigue, insomnia
Increase in appetite
Anxious
Suicidal thoughts
Painful cravings
Depression

Considerations

Unlike alcohol and other drugs, cocaine withdrawal typically does not have physical symptoms such as vomiting or shaking. However, a person will experience a crash that may result in a very intense level of cravings, irritability, and depression. The feelings can last for months which often leads a person back to using cocaine to alleviate those feelings. There is a higher risk of suicide and overdose without proper medical supervision.

Symptoms usually disappear over time when the patient receives professional support at a qualified cocaine treatment center. Casa Palmera offers a continuum of care that includes residential treatment, partial hospitalization with and without board, intensive outpatient program and weekly continuing care to support the patient during their cocaine addiction treatment program.
