Cocaine Addiction and Detox Facts
Our cocaine detox Delray Beach programs are intended as a first step in the treatment of cocaine addiction, a highly addictive drug extracted from leaves of the coca bush which grows in South America’s Andes Mountains. Powdered cocaine is injected or snorted, while crack cocaine is smoked. One in 40 American adults has used cocaine sometime in the past year; men aged 18 to 25 are the most likely to need treatment at cocaine detox Delray Beach centers. Eight percent of men in this age group have used cocaine in the last year.
When you use cocaine, it affects your brain and central nervous system so rapidly as to be instantaneous. The rapid nature of cocaine’s affects are part of what makes it so insidiously addictive, and why programs like those offered at our cocaine detox Delray Beach center are so crucial to the treatment of this addiction. Once it reaches your brain, cocaine interferes with the actions of neurotransmitters serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, causing the feelings of euphoria that make this drug so addictive. The high lasts anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours.
Our cocaine detox Delray Beach programs are crucial because cocaine addiction has devastating physical effects. Snorting, injecting or smoking cocaine can cause heart attacks, strokes, permanent lung damage, kidney failure, and impaired sexual function. Our cocaine detox Delray Beach programs help you deal with the often overwhelming symptoms of cocaine withdrawal, which can include depression, anxiety, fatigue, the inability to feel pleasure, trouble concentrating and a range of physical symptoms including itching, muscle pains, tremors and chills.
You need to know that our cocaine detox Delray Beach programs alone can’t treat your cocaine addiction. Only long-term intensive addiction therapy can do that. Our cocaine detox Delray Beach programs are an excellent first step to help you break your physical dependency on cocaine and overcome the initial withdrawal symptoms so you can start therapy in earnest.
