Recovering from Cocaine Addiction Starts with Support

Cocaine may bring a fast high, but it leads to dangerous crashes, dependency, and emotional instability. At BloomRecovery, we offer the therapy, structure, and tools needed for long-term recovery.

Cocaine Addiction

Cocaine is a powerful stimulant drug that increases levels of dopamine in the brain. It produces an intense but short-lived high, which often leads to repeated use and rapid addiction. Cocaine is most often snorted, but can also be smoked or injected. Over time, it damages both physical health and emotional stability.

Short-Term Effects

• Euphoria and inflated confidence

• Increased energy and talkativeness

• Decreased appetite and need for sleep

• Risky or impulsive decision-making

• Anxiety or paranoia

Long-Term Effects

• Heart damage or heart attack

• Nasal tissue breakdown (for snorters)

• Depression and emotional blunting

• Cognitive decline

• Risk of stroke or seizures

Signs of Abuse

• Rapid mood shifts and agitation

• Secretive behavior or disappearing for long periods

• Financial problems due to drug use

• Isolation or erratic social behavior

• Physical signs like nosebleeds, dilated pupils, or weight loss

Withdrawal

Cocaine withdrawal symptoms can begin within hours of the last dose:

• Severe fatigue and lack of motivation

• Irritability and restlessness

• Depression or emotional numbness

• Vivid nightmares or insomnia

• Intense psychological cravings

Treatment Options

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and emotional processing

• Trauma-focused therapy, if applicable

• Group support and accountability

• Relapse prevention education and life restructuring

• Support for co-occurring anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder
