Cocaine Detox

With an estimated 1.5 million Americans using cocaine regularly1, people from all walks of life need help breaking free from their cocaine addiction.

Detoxing from cocaine requires medical assistance to combat cocaine withdrawal symptoms and other challenges. If you’re ready to get sober, or if you have a loved one who needs help treating their cocaine addiction, our treatment professionals are here to help.

What Makes Cocaine So Addictive?

Cocaine is generally ingested through inhalation, but some users also inject or smoke various forms of the drug, such as crack cocaine. Cocaine binds to dopamine transporters in the brain, blocking removal of dopamine from synapse within the brain. This results in amplified effects of dopamine in the brain, creating a euphoric high1.

Cocaine manipulates multiple brain systems, including gene expression in the limbic system. Cocaine addiction can alter the very structure of brain cells within the limbic system2, resulting in long-lasting cravings, even after the physical components of addiction have been treated. With cocaine’s impact on neurological systems, it’s crucial to seek treatment at a national cocaine detox provider. Our drug addiction treatment center can help.

 

What Are Common Cocaine Detox Symptoms?

When someone stops using cocaine, they will experience cocaine withdrawal symptoms. These withdrawals stem from systems within the mind and body readjusting to sobriety.

 

Cocaine detox symptoms include:

  • Fatigue
  • Depressed Mood
  • Agitation
  • Restlessness
  • Increased Appetite
  • Unpleasant Dreams

With medically monitored detox, these and many other detox symptoms can be safely treated. Symptoms of cocaine withdrawal taper off quickly during detox, with cravings being the longest-lasting symptom. Even this symptom of cocaine detox can be treated through therapy and support to combat cravings.

 

Cocaine Addiction Signs

Cocaine use is prevalent across the country, and the highly social use of cocaine can make it difficult to discern cocaine addiction from general use.  Active cocaine addiction results in many behavioral and physical changes.

 

Signs of cocaine addiction include:

  • Weight Loss
  • Track Marks from injection
  • Dilated Pupils 
  • Mood Changes
  • Sudden Financial Difficulty
  • Nosebleeds

These behavioral and physical changes are all cocaine addiction signs that indicate your loved one needs help treating their cocaine addiction. Whether injected, inhaled, or smoked, all forms of cocaine are dangerous. Too much can lead to cocaine overdose, which can be fatal and requires immediate medical treatment.
