Crack Cocaine Treatment Process
Our treatment process is simple. First you will undergo an initial psychiatric evaluation to see what your underlying cause of cocaine addiction is. Many times the underlying cause can be mental illness or a life changing event. We will evaluate and provide a treatment plan that works equivalent with your underlying cause.
After your initial evaluation and a customized treatment plan is established, cocaine detox treatment begins. During crack cocaine detox, you will have counseling and ongoing support from our addiction specialists and team. After detox, you will have the option to continue attending counseling sessions including: Intensive Outpatient Program group counseling or Individual Therapy. Our addiction counselors will help provide you with the right options moving forward after detox.
Facts about Cocaine Dependency
Definition of Cocaine Use Disorder
Cocaine use disorder is when the use of cocaine harms a person’s health or social functioning, or when a person becomes dependent on cocaine. The powdered form of cocaine can be snorted or dissolved in water and injected. “Crack,” which is cocaine in a rock crystal form, can be heated and its vapors smoked. Cocaine use disorder is treatable, but it takes perseverance and determination.
Causes
Cocaine stimulates the brain to release large amounts of the hormone dopamine, which, when amassed in sufficient quantities, results in the euphoria commonly reported by cocaine abusers. As a person continues to use cocaine, a tolerance is developed, and this means that higher doses and more frequent use are required to maintain the euphoria.
Release of Dopamine in the brain
The dopamine connecting to the receptors causes a euphoric feeling. This occurs naturally, but cocaine causes an exaggerated response that can lead to addiction.
Furthermore, when a cocaine user stops using abruptly, they experience a crash or withdrawal. This results in an extremely strong craving for more cocaine, as well as fatigue (being tired), complete loss of pleasure in life, severe depression, anxiety, irritability, sleepiness, and sometimes paranoia. These symptoms often prompt the user to seek more cocaine to alleviate these symptoms of withdrawal.
