The Brain and the Body: Impact of Cocaine Addiction
After the euphoric rush you get from cocaine is over, you’re left with nothing but withdrawal symptoms and are left more vulnerable to serious long-term health issues. It’s easy to convince yourself that your habit is under your control, and it can be hard why it’s hard to admit or even acknowledge that you need help. For cocaine addicts, nose issues are only the beginning. Without treatment, users can suffer from the lasting symptoms and effects of their cocaine abuse. Long-term effects of prolonged cocaine use can include, but are not limited to:
- Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
- Permanent Damage to the Heart or Brain’s Blood Vessels
- Heart Attack
- Stroke
- Sexual Dysfunction
- Permanent Organ Damage
- Severe Depression
- Tolerance and Cravings
- Withdrawal Symptoms
Cocaine abuse means more than just a lifetime of slight paranoia and bloody noses. Every time you use this drug, you’re placing tremendous strain on your heart, brain and central nervous system. If you or a loved one is experiencing any symptoms related to cocaine abuse, it’s important to seek treatment immediately. Ignoring any of these signs or symptoms could potentially lead to further long-term damage from untreated cocaine dependency.
Taking Your Life Back from Cocaine Addiction
Cocaine addiction treatment should include medically supervised detox and withdrawal management along with behavioral rehab and lifestyle support. You know, first-hand, how much cocaine has taken from you, and you need a treatment program that can help you regain your physical health, dignity and peace of mind. Recovery Unplugged offers comprehensive, effective and compassionate treatment to help you permanently overcome cocaine addiction and live the life you deserve.
Expert Doctors and Nurses
If you’ve only been abusing cocaine for a short time, you may be able to overcome withdrawal symptoms on your own or with the help of your general practitioner. Generally, speaking, however, your cocaine withdrawal should be treated by trained medical professionals who can help you manage your symptoms and intervene in the event of a medical emergency.
