Premier Cocaine Addiction Treatment Center

Understand treatment for cocaine addiction at Sierra by the Sea in Newport Beach, CA

Cocaine is a stimulant drug that is typically used recreationally and is highly addictive. Derived from the leaves of the coca plant, which is native to South America, cocaine’s strong properties make it tremendously habit-forming and put the user at risk for long-term health problems, overdose, and addiction.

Those who become addicted to cocaine will feel an overpowering urge to acquire and use the drug. Cocaine is commonly used by injecting, smoking, snorting, or rubbing it into the gums, and it is often combined with other harmful or addictive substances, such as heroin or fentanyl, to make a dangerous drug cocktail. Another popular use is in the form of crack cocaine, which consists of grinding cocaine into a powder, mixing it with water and other substances, boiling it, and forming it into a hardened crystal before smoking.

Because cocaine is a stimulant, it provides energy and can lead to feelings of euphoria and hyperactivity. Some individuals who use cocaine process faster, work harder, and move more quickly.

The effects of cocaine, however, are short-lived, lasting anywhere from a few minutes to a half hour. This can lead to so-called binges, where users take the drug rapidly and regularly. Due to its highly addictive chemical properties, cocaine is capable of altering a user’s brain chemistry in short order, leading to chemical dependency.

Once a person becomes addicted to cocaine, it can be very difficult to control the symptoms without help. Addictions are chronic, meaning that they generally don’t go away without clinical intervention. But with the expert level of professional care offered at Sierra by the Sea, an addiction to any substance is a treatable condition, and you can experience long-term recovery.
