Crack Cocaine Rehabilitation Treatment Center
Those of us here at Passages Addiction Cure Center have come to know that there are only four root causes of any given dependency:
1. Chemical imbalance in the brain;
2. Unresolved events from the past;
3. Beliefs you hold that are inconsistent with what is true;
4. An inability to cope with current conditions.
We do not list genetics as a cause of dependency, as there are many millions of people in the United States whose relatives, including parents and grandparents, were or are still dependent on addictive substances, and they are not. We also know that that addiction is not an “incurable disease.” Dependency is merely a state in which we find ourselves when we cannot stop turning to addictive substances. We need help. And here at Passages Addiction Cure Center, you’ll learn that your dependency is caused by one or a combination of the four causes listed above. Once these root causes are found and effectively healed, dependency is cured.
THE FACTS OF CRACK COCAINE ADDICTION
Crack cocaine addiction can often be a formidable foe, and in order to successfully cure dependency, an effective Crack Cocaine Rehab Center must first uncover each client’s individual underlying problems and then heal them with powerful, individualized treatment.
Crack cocaine is the smokeable rock form of cocaine. To make crack cocaine, ordinary cocaine hydrochloride is concentrated by heating it with baking soda and water until the water evaporates, which produces a cracking sound, giving the drug its name. What is left is a rock form of cocaine, called base-cocaine, which vaporizes at a low temperature, making it easily inhaled. Crack usually contains about 40% cocaine or less, depending on the amount of other substances used to bulk-up the total amount.
To understand the effects of crack cocaine, we must first understand how it works. Smoking crack increases dopamine levels in the brain of the user. Dopamine is a chemical in the brain that generates feelings of euphoria. After the intense high that crack creates, dopamine levels in the brain are depleted, leaving the user feeling depressed. It takes a good deal of time for dopamine to replenish itself in the brain, and as a result, taking subsequent hits of crack soon after the last high produces a decreasingly intense high.
Crack cocaine use can cause numerous side effects, including permanent change in neural tissue. Side effects include cerebral hemorrhage, kidney failure, tachycardia (rapid beating of the heart), paranoia, hyperthermia, abnormal heart beat, depression, increase in blood pressure, convulsions, and a whole host of other problems. The rush of dopamine into the brain can cause serious adverse effects, which can create other bad behaviors, depression, anxiety, and hypersomnia in crack cocaine addicts.
THE EXPERTISE OF THE PASSAGES CRACK COCAINE REHAB PROGRAM
Passages Addiction Cure Center, in Malibu, California, has been exceptionally successful at achieving a total cure in clients, with the highest success rate in the country. The Passages Crack Cocaine Rehab Program attracts much attention from experts, chronic users, and addiction specialists alike. You might expect a complicated answer for why that is, but the truth is that, at its core, the Passages approach to drug addiction rehabilitation is very simple. We discover and heal the underlying causes of your addiction, and once these causes have been eliminated, your dependency is permanently cured. How does the program work?
First, we detox crack cocaine patients in a warm, safe facility, providing them every appointment and comfort to support and guide them through the trying first few days.
After detox, we start each patient on a series of treatments that are designed to discover exactly the causes behind the impulse to abuse crack cocaine. These therapies vary from hypnotherapy to spiritual counseling, and blood chemistry analysis (which we also use to search for dietary deficiencies). We also provide intensive psychotherapy with therapy specialists to discover a client’s emotional difficulties and any possible repressed traumas.

Another reason we are able to achieve such spectacular results is that Passages Addiction Cure Center, in Malibu, California, resides in one of the most stunning locations on earth. It is the ideal location to recover from any kind of trauma and consequent drug addiction. We have beautiful property across from the tranquil Pacific Ocean, including 16,500 square feet of luxurious facilities and amenities, complete with a tennis court, gymnasium, gourmet kitchen and more.
ONE-TO-ONE TREATMENT FOR A HOLISTIC CRACK COCAINE CURE
We have over 100 staff members, which amounts to a three-to-one staff to patient ratio--the highest you’ll find anywhere in the world. We provide at least 65 one-to-one sessions with ten different therapists for each client’s individual crack cocaine abuse treatment. This may sound extreme at first, but it is very likely that your crack cocaine addiction arises due to longstanding, unidentified problems that require ample time to be discovered and healed.
Our program focuses directly on the individual problems of each client in one-to-one sessions because each person who is dependent upon addictive substances is just that -- completely individual. Group treatment programs, which are the standard in the industry, do not allow for much individual therapy – usually only 1 session a week. Here at Passages Addiction Cure Center, we know that individual therapy is key to success. As an analogy, imagine going into your doctor’s office and sitting in a waiting room with 10 other people who all have differing ailments. You wouldn’t expect everyone to receive the same treatment, would you? The same logic applies to drug and alcohol rehab.
The result of this logic, and our treatment philosophy is a much more effective crack cocaine rehab treatment program; one which evolves and adapts to how you respond and grow, and creates a holistic cure for your particular situation.
