Cocaine Addiction can lead to severe personal, social, economic and health problems in both the immediate term and long-term future. Cocaine is a potent and highly addictive stimulant drug, often referred to as “crack” when processed for smoking.
Though it may temporarily boost energy levels, users quickly become addicted due to its stimulating effects on the brain.
Connection Mental Healthcare can help. Our experienced professionals understand that dependency on this powerful substance is a long-term and debilitating issue, often leading to serious physical and psychological problems – even death.
We provide personalised care for each individual in order to ensure maximum success in treating your addiction and guiding you back towards a functioning life after treatment.
Cocaine addiction can bring about a range of effects, from heightened confidence and energy to decreased appetite and reduced focus. In the short-term its use may produce feelings of euphoria that mask deeper depression brought on by exhaustion upon waking up the next day.
Additionally, users often exhibit poor listening skills due to excessive talking; this behaviour is compounded with selfish tendencies caused by overconfidence.
Cocaine addiction can cause a drastic decline in school or work performance, accompanied by frequent promises to quit and an unwillingness to admit that there is an issue.
These psychological symptoms are compounded by financial loss, weight loss due to excessive consumption, recurrent colds resulting from use of the drug nasally as well as anxiety attacks and mood swings. Additionally, insomnia often results from cocaine abuse.
Cocaine addiction presents many dangerous risks with far-reaching consequences.
Not only can it lead to cardiac arrhythmias and even a heart attack, but users may experience long term physical damage such as deterioration of their bronchial system and teeth, or deep emotional trauma resulting in feelings of powerlessness, anger or sadness. It carries the potential for job loss, mounting debts and criminal prosecution – all culminating potentially in death.

Cocaine addiction is notorious for its powerful hold on individuals; however, it may be classified as a disease. Scientific research has revealed how parts of the brain affected by substance abuse create changes that make an individual more susceptible to developing and furthering their addictive habits.
Dopamine receptors are decreased with long-term cocaine use while strong memories are established – indicating definitive change from regular functioning within the reward centre memory stores, and neocortex regions in the user’s own brain cells.
Recent studies indicate that drug use may have a hereditary component. While environmental conditions can reduce the effect of increased susceptibility, addiction is often referred to as a ‘family disease’.
It not only affects an addict but also those around them and it’s important for these people to understand how best to support their loved one undergoing treatment. Connection Mental Healthcare offers a family program in which interested parties are welcome to contact us on 021 541 0643 during working days for more information.
