THE FACTS OF COCAINE ADDICTION We know, here at Passages Addiction Cure Center, that there are only four causes of all dependency: 1. Chemical imbalance in the brain; Notice that we do not record genetics as one of the four causes. This is in large part due to the fact that there are millions of people in the United States whose parents and/or grandparents were alcoholics or addicts and they are not. Either they never drink or use drugs at all, or they are able to use socially without becoming dependent. We also never claim that relapse is due to the “incurable disease” of alcoholism or addiction. This is because we know that neither addiction nor alcoholism are diseases. Instead, they are merely symptoms of at least one of the four underlying causes. One must work towards discovering and healing these underlying causes, at which time, dependence on drugs, alcohol or addictive behavior ceases. Cocaine addiction can be one of the most powerful enemies one can face. The human brain is remarkable in that it can adapt to changing chemical conditions. Cocaine users who chronically use the drug often find their brains changing to adapt to their behavior. Unfortunately, these changes are not necessarily good. Be aware that chronic cocaine use can have a rainbow of side effects. Cocaine acts to increase dopamine levels in the brain’s pleasure center and can cause permanent changes in neural tissue. It can also lead to things like cerebral hemorrhage, kidney failure, tachycardia, paranoia, and hyperthermia. If you’ve taken cocaine with alcohol, it can release a chemical called coco ethylene into your system, which can generate other unwanted health side effects. Loading the brain with dopamine and serotonin can have serious adverse effects—effects that can stimulate other bad behaviors such as depression, anxiety, and hypersomnia in cocaine addicts. The way you ingest cocaine can also complicate your symptoms. If you snort cocaine through your nose, you can actually dissolve the tissue in your septum, the tissue that separates your nostrils, and generate a permanent running nose. Snorting coke can also create a hoarse voice, head colds, and flu-like symptoms (the vasoconstriction due to cocaine use prevents heat from escaping through normal channels). If you ingest cocaine orally, you can generate gangrene in your intestines and potentially damage the lining of your stomach. Moreover, when you mix cocaine with other drugs—particularly alcohol—you can generate even more health hazards. In short, you want to detox from the drug as soon as possible and get into a cocaine rehab program that will help you find freedom from addiction once and for all.
