Coke, more commonly known
as cocaine is a highly addictive
stimulant which instantly
affects the brain after introducing
it to the body. The effects
of this drug are extremely
pleasurable and give a false
sense of euphria. Like caffiene,
coke makes the user feel awake,
and energized. Cocaine addict's
usually experience a sense
of well being and feel 'powerful',
combined with restlessness
and anxiety. When the effects
of cocaine wear off the user
will 'crash', become depressed,
and crave another 'hit' or
'wack'. Cocaine addiction
is hard to beat, because of
the great length's the user
will go to get the drug. Some
will even neglect his job,
familey and loved ones, in
order to satisfy there craving
for cocaine. This is one of
the reasons why cocaine addiction
is considered so harsh. It
effects the user as well as
everyone around him or her.
Signs of cocaine abuse include:
change in mood, appitite and
sleep cycles, depression,
absence at work and home,
running/ sniffly nose, new
group of friends and a drop

interest in hobbys and other
activities are also common

irritability, mood swings,
restlessness, paranoya, possible
auditory hallucinations and

Many treatments have been
found to be have great affects
on treating cocaine addiction.
It is important when selecting
treatment methods, to match
the treatment to the individual's
needs. The main idea is to
get the cocaine abuser to
stop the use of the drug and
help them maintain a positive
outlook throughout the withdrawal.
Rewards for positive behaviour
and attitude are sometimes
given and staying cocaine
free becomes easier for the
users in time. Residential
programs focus on re-socialization,
group therapy, and team work
to assist an addict through
withdrawal. It is very important,
regardless of the treatment,
is moral support from loved
ones. Cocaine addiction is
not easy to beat, but it's
not impossible, with help
and the proper treatment,
cocaine addiction can be overcome.
