What is Cocaine?

Cocaine is a very addictive stimulant derived from the leaves of the coca plant. ¹ The two most common forms of the drug are powder cocaine, which is snorted through the nose or dissolved and injected into the bloodstream, and crack cocaine, a processed form of crystalline cocaine that is smoked in a pipe for a more intense high. ²

Cocaine alters how the brain feels pleasure and provides the user with feelings of euphoria, increased energy, and mental alertness. ³ Regular use alters neural pathways in the brain, making it difficult for you to feel pleasure without cocaine. ⁴ This usually results in increased cocaine consumption, which can quickly lead to physical or mental dependence and addiction. Cocaine abuse also produces adverse health effects that include psychotic-like symptoms and paranoia, which can become permanent. ⁵ Cocaine also increases the risk for serious health complications including heart attacks, strokes, and seizures, all of which can be fatal. ⁶ The number of deaths in the United States involving cocaine has been rapidly increasing, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reporting nearly 15,000 cocaine overdose deaths in 2018. ⁷

Cocaine Addiction Recovery Center in Las Vegas

Once you become addicted to a drug like cocaine it can be extremely hard to quit on your own. If you are in the Las Vegas area and looking for professional help in overcoming cocaine addiction, please consider the cocaine addiction recovery program at Landmark Recovery. Our local cocaine recovery center offers evidence-based rehab treatments tailored to your specific needs, including both residential and intensive outpatient options. Residential care is the most effective setting for treating cocaine addiction for many people, and our structured program provides around-the-clock onsite expert care with individual and group counseling and proven behavioral therapies.

The first step to rehab and recovery from cocaine addiction is detoxification, or detox, the process of clearing all cocaine from your system. Landmark Recovery provides a safe and secure treatment environment where we can supervise your cocaine detox and treat the severe cravings and uncomfortable symptoms, such as anxiety and insomnia, that are associated with cocaine withdrawal. ¹¹ Our medical detox service will allow you to feel a little calmer and more relaxed as your body adjusts to normal functioning without the presence of cocaine, helping you get sober and preparing you for the next step in the recovery process.

After stabilization, you will be ready to begin the therapy phase of recovery. Behavioral therapy focuses on your mental wellness and helps address the underlying cause of your cocaine addiction by identifying the triggers and situations that increase the desire to use cocaine. ¹² Your dedicated master’s level clinician will also work with you on how to prevent the risk of future relapse by teaching ways to effectively cope with problems and behaviors associated with cocaine abuse.

Rehab and recovery from cocaine addiction is a lifelong process that does not end when you leave our facility.
