Drug Rehab Information By State
The word cocaine includes the drug in its common powder form (cocaine) and a crystal form (crack).
Tolerance to cocaine quickly develops with higher doses are more frequent use.
Compulsive cocaine use develops much more rapidly when the substance is smoked rather than snorted. Prolonged daily use causes sleep deprivation and loss of appetite. The user can experience psychotic episodes and hallucinations.
Coming down from cocaine or crack causes depression so severe that the individual will do anything to get more.
It can get so severe as to cause suicide. Cocaine
addiction will always end in one of three ways – jail, death, or sobriety.
Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol or other substances despite adverse social, mental and physical consequences.
Next to methamphetamine, cocaine creates the greatest psychological dependence of any drug.
Compulsive cocaine use develops much more rapidly when the substance is smoked rather than snorted.
A tolerance to cocaine develops quickly – the addict soon fails to achieve as much pleasure as he or she did from the same amount of cocaine earlier.
Thus more and more cocaine is needed more and more often to maintain the same effect. Along with this increased use come increased health risks.
Many programs consider withdrawal from the particular drug of
addiction to be detoxification.
The is only a partial answer and when substitute drugs are given to replace the substance of
abuse this is hardly
detoxification at all and is often simply trading one substance for another, as in the use of some anti-depressants, or drugs like methadone, etc.
Detoxification means to remove drugs, poisons and toxins from the body as fully as possible.
Research clearly indicates that these substances will store in the fatty tissues of the body for months and even years.
This in part accounts for drugged feeling and cravings appearing long after use has ceased. At Narconon Arrowhead we follow up withdrawal from use with the New Life
Detoxification Program. This is state of the art
detoxification embracing nutrition, exercise, and sauna routines to flush the stored drugs and toxins from the body. Many of the people completing this detoxification program report a complete handling and end of drug cravings, with rises in intelligence and ability demonstrated by actual test results.
Alcohol
abuse can be considered to set in when the use of alcohol is impacting the individual’s quality of life.
This may be drinking on the job, arguments at home due to mild or severe intoxication, ignoring one’s responsibilities in favor of alcohol use, or any of the seemingly endless list of detrimental effects.
One does not necessarily reach the stages of full blown
alcoholism in order to benefit from alcohol
abuse treatment. Alcohol abuse most often occurs as a solution to the cravings, guilt, and depression.
These three points are key points leading up to and then continuing drug or alcohol abuse.
When one is able to feel better and find more joy without the alcohol than with it, the need, desire, or compulsion to abuse it fades away. Alcohol abuse
treatment in time can prevent the full blown miseries and possible death resulting from alcoholism.
