Cocaine Addiction Treatment
Breaking Free from Cocaine Dependency & Reclaiming Your Life
Cocaine addiction is one of the most dangerous and fast-acting substance use disorders, affecting the brain’s reward system almost instantly. Whether snorted, injected, or smoked as crack cocaine, this stimulant creates a powerful, short-lived high, often followed by a devastating crash—leading to intense cravings, risky behaviors, and physical deterioration.
At Mission Recovery Home, we provide specialized cocaine addiction treatment designed to address not just the physical dependency but also the underlying emotional and psychological factors that contribute to cocaine abuse. Our comprehensive, medically supervised program offers individuals the chance to detox safely, regain mental clarity, and build the foundation for lifelong recovery.
What Is Cocaine Addiction?
The drug triggers an intense surge of dopamine, the neurotransmitter responsible for pleasure, motivation, and reward. However, this dopamine flood is short-lived, leading to:
- Intense euphoria followed by a severe crash
- Immediate cravings for more cocaine
- Rapid tolerance buildup, requiring larger doses
- Severe withdrawal symptoms upon cessation
Cocaine Addiction by the Numbers (National Institute on Drug Abuse - NIDA)
- 1.4 million people in the U.S. suffer from cocaine use disorder
- 24,486 overdose deaths in 2021 were linked to cocaine use.
- Over 70% of cocaine-related deaths involve synthetic opioids like fentanyl.

How Cocaine Affects the Brain & Body
Cocaine and the Brain
- Excessive stimulation of the brain’s pleasure centers
- Overstimulation of the nervous system, resulting in paranoia, hallucinations, and anxiety
- Long-term changes in brain chemistry, making it harder to feel pleasure naturally
Short-Term Effects of Cocaine Use
- Extreme energy, confidence, and talkativeness
- Loss of appetite and increased heart rate
- Paranoia, restlessness, and aggression
- Dilated pupils and increased body temperature
- Severe depression and anxiety during the crash phase
Long-Term Effects of Cocaine Abuse
- Permanent damage to the heart and blood vessels – Leading to strokes and heart attacks
- Severe nasal and lung damage – Snorting can lead to tissue erosion, while smoking crack damages the lungs and respiratory system
- Cognitive impairment – Long-term use causes memory problems, attention deficits, and mental fog
- Malnutrition and weight loss – Cocaine suppresses appetite, leading to severe physical deterioration
- Increased risk of infectious diseases – Injecting cocaine raises the risk of HIV, hepatitis, and dangerous infections
