Cleaning the body from cocaine - detox and treatment
It is quite difficult to get rid of drug addiction on your own, since along with physical addiction, psychological addiction is formed, which is more difficult to cope with. Very often, a person who uses drugs is afraid or does not feel comfortable when it comes to the need to seek help or consult a narcologist-psychotherapist because of the fear of publicity, age, misunderstanding, social status, and shame. After all, such a disease in society is strongly condemned.

Effects of using cocaine
Physiological
Cocaine primarily acts on the cardiovascular system. It is expressed in an increase in pressure, the appearance of a rapid heartbeat, interruptions in the work of the heart. Because of this, the load on the heart muscle and coronary vessels increases. Thus, cocaine use leads to heart failure. A man complains that his heart hurts after “coke”. Cocaine addiction aggravates atherosclerosis and causes vasospasm. Hence, there is a high risk of strokes and heart attacks.
In addition, “coke” can cause bleeding, the onset and exacerbation of stomach or intestinal ulcers, liver failure, and so on.
Complications associated with the type of use are also distinguished into a separate group. When the drug is inhaled through the nose, frequent nosebleeds and inflammation in the sinuses occur.
With the injectable form of cocaine use, the entire spectrum of diseases is possible, accompanied by inadequate compliance with protective measures. These are hepatitis B, C and HIV infection, abscesses and cellulitis, blood poisoning, etc.

Mental
At the beginning of use, cocaine causes a feeling of euphoria, emotional uplift, and speeds up a person’s reactions. At the same time, appetite decreases until it completely disappears.
With prolonged use, patients complain that they “cannot fall asleep after coke,” they suffer from headaches, nausea, memory loss and deterioration in concentration. Concepts such as “post-coke depression” and “cocaine psychoses” emerge.
In some cases, the addict is tormented by hallucinations, delusional and paranoid ideas.
Psychiatrists note that the same hallucination is characteristic of a person “under coke”: it is the sensation of many small insects on the skin. Because of this, drug addicts often have scratching all over their bodies.
