Learn how you can detox from cocaine with Hope Rising Detox
Cocaine is a strong and very addictive stimulate. Cocaine is also known as coke, crack, blow, rock, white, and many other names. Though cocaine does have valid medical uses, it remains a deadly illegal drug in the United States.
Cocaine is used and kills regularly across the U.S. with no regard for race or gender. Many times cocaine is mixed with other deadly drugs or various things that are unknown to the user, making it even more dangerous.
What causes Cocaine addiction?
According to the National institute of on Drug Abuse, “cocaine increases the levels of the natural chemical messenger dopamine in the brain circuits related to the control of movement and reward.” For non-users of cocaine, when dopamine is released naturally by the body, it is recycled back into the body. Cocaine use stops or slows the body from recycling the dopamine and the dopamine builds up which in turn tricks the brain to want more drug pleasure. Ultimately, the brain ends up developing a resistance to cocaine and tricks the user to take more potent and frequent doses to achieve the same feeling, high or pleasure. The cycle then repeats over and over until the user gets help or in some cases overdoses.
What are the signs of Cocaine addiction?
As with any drug, continuous and repeated use can lead to addiction. Cocaine’s release of dopamine makes it even more addictive. Some signs you or a loved one might be addicted to cocaine are listed below:
