Cocaine Addiction

Cocaine Addiction

Cocaine is an extremely addictive stimulant that has been abused in the United States for over 100 years. Sadly, an untold number of Americans suffer from a cocaine addiction.

Cocaine addiction can cause a variety of health problems. Most serious of these, of course, is death. However, any type of cocaine use - from trying it one time to prolonged use - can cause serious health complications. Unfortunately, most people suffering from cocaine addiction fail to understand how dangerous the drug is. All they can think about is where they are going to get their next fix from.

Here are some of the dangers of cocaine addiction:

Heart attack

Respiratory failure

Stroke

Seizure

Bizarre or violent behavior

Sudden death

Cocaine can also cause some very scary mental effects, as well. Consuming cocaine repeatedly in a short period (called "binging") can lead the user to lose touch with reality and enter a complete state of paranoid psychosis.

TESTIMONIALS

I know you will never believe it but it has been ten and a half months since I finished treatment and am still in recovery. I know you will say it may be more of a miracle that I finished rehab being that I was about as resistant a patient can be, but I am making it one day at a time. Special thanks to Robert.

-- Terrance G, Morristown, New Jersey

This is to my therapist Bobby, who never gave up on me. I could never have made it through rehab without your patience. You taught me that I am worth it.

-- Bryan, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

My life was a shambles, my husband wanted a divorce and my children wouldn't speak with me. I felt hopeless until we all got together for family treatment. While we all have some hills to climb, my recovery is solid. Who would have thought, 476 days sober. Love to all.

-- Patti P, Atlanta, Georgia

You guys were right when you told me to get right into meetings. They have kept me clean and sober and I have made a lot of good friends. Thanks for bringing meetings into rehab.
