Cocaine Addiction Q & A

What is cocaine addiction?

Cocaine is a stimulant, meaning it increases alertness and energy. It affects the neuropathways in your brain, leading you to feel talkative, energetic, and euphoric. Addiction to cocaine can develop quickly, even after trying it only a few times.

Cocaine addiction can be physical, meaning your body craves the drug. It can also be mental, meaning you strongly desire the drug’s effects.

Cocaine addiction is a behavioral disorder where you are dependent on cocaine. Cocaine is one of the most addictive party drugs. It can be snorted, smoked, or injected and makes users feel upbeat, energetic, and euphoric. 

If you use cocaine, you’re at risk of various health problems, including hepatitis C, mental illness, and premature death. Fortunately, with early intervention and treatment, it’s possible to minimize cravings, reduce the symptoms of withdrawal, and help you live a clean and sober life.

What are the symptoms of cocaine addiction?

Symptoms of cocaine addiction include:

  • Dilated pupils
  • Runny nose
  • Nosebleeds
  • Track marks
