Cocaine Detox Program

What is Cocaine?

Cocaine is a powerful stimulant, generally used as a recreational drug. Other than cannabis products, it is the most commonly used illegal drug worldwide, and thus many people struggle with cocaine addiction and withdrawal. Despite this, many people still need to ask, “what is cocaine?” when they discover that a loved one may be suffering from addiction. Cocaine addiction detox programs can help.

Cocaine is a highly addictive substance and is manufactured using the leaves of the coca plant. If processed further, crack cocaine can also be manufactured. While some cocaine is manufactured legally for research or medicinal purposes, vast quantities are made illegally for recreational use. Mental effects of cocaine include intense feelings of euphoria, or feelings of agitation, as well as losing touch with reality. Physically, as a stimulant, the primary effects are rapid heart rate, sweating, and enlargement of the pupils, as well as high blood pressure and body temperature for large doses.
