Here at Rehab Clinics Group, one of the most commonly treated substances we deal with is cocaine – our team of drug addiction experts have built up the experience to provide the most comprehensive cocaine rehab treatment service available in the UK. If you are addicted to cocaine and want help, our treatment services will help you beat addiction.
Cocaine is an illicit stimulant that is presented as a powder, paste or rock-like substance. People have different reasons for taking the drug, but it has many life-threatening dangers which shouldn’t be overlooked. Let’s take a look at the background of this drug and the process of cocaine rehab.
How does Cocaine Work?
People generally take cocaine to increase their stamina and feelings of pleasure and general awareness. Cocaine users tend to take it at parties and in situations that may require more energy. It usually takes around five minutes to experience a high, although as many users take cocaine with alcohol, they can’t feel its effects, so continue to take more.
This is a common cause of cocaine overdose and just one example of how people fall into substance abuse. Once absorbed into your blood, cocaine targets the central nervous system to increase your dopamine and serotonin levels.
The Effects Cocaine Has On Your Health
Cocaine has many detrimental short-term and long-term effects on your health. If injected, it can prevent blood from flowing into your tissues. Many cocaine users have experienced an allergic reaction which can cause instant death. More commonly, cocaine increases your risk of HIV, blood infections – such as sepsis, heart infections and hepatitis.
There are many more severe effects, including heart, liver and brain damage. Smoking cocaine can increase your risks of inflamed lunges, bronchitis, lung and throat cancer and difficulty breathing. When snorted, cocaine can result in losing your smell, difficulty swallowing and regular nosebleeds. Should you snort cocaine, you can damage your nose and lose your nasal lining which causes the nostrils to combine into one.
Regularly taking cocaine can lead to depression, anxiety, paranoia, and it can bring occurring mental health problems to the surface too. The drug is extremely addictive, so regular use changes how your body releases dopamine – the feel-good chemical. The more you take it, the lower your dopamine levels, so users take it again to feel happy and uplifted. However, this repeated behaviour can lead to the above life-threatening side effects. These mixtures of lows and highs confuse the brain, which can result in users not showing, eating or sleeping for days.
