cocaine
detox
Cocaine detox may not require the use of drug detox medications.
Cocaine detox is may be appropriate for persons that use powder cocaine
as well as crack cocaine. It is generally believed that cocaine does not
produce withdrawal symptoms but on the contrary results in psychological
dependence in the user. Heavy users of cocaine will experience intense
cravings to use the drug and tend to stop at nothing to obtain more. Users
of cocaine rarely admit that they are using the drug and may concoct an
elaborate web of lies to conceal use and consequences of using cocaine.
After a time this manipulative behavior becomes apparent to all but the
cocaine user who may cling desperately to the notion that family members
and loved ones still believe these elaborate stories. Deep in the psyche
of the cocaine user often dwells a lonely desperate human being searching
for something to replace a string of failed personal relationships and
broken promises.

The desire to obtain cocaine may supercede the need to eat or take care
of ones self. Heavy cocaine users tend to have lost weight usually in
direct correlation within rising levels of use but this is not always
the case. The most apparent signs of needing cocaine detox are changes
in behavior. Cocaine users tend to have extreme and irrational mood swings
and may become easily angered. They tend toward sleeplessness and may
engage in repetitive activities such as repeated cleaning of objects or
vacuuming. Persons needing cocaine detox may be prone to violence often
directed at a partner or loved one and become irritated and angry when
confronted about their drug use.
Cocaine detox is generally done in residential treatment using nutritional
monitoring and vitamin supplements. It is important to monitor vital functions
because cocaine use may severely damage internal organs, especially the
heart. Persons undergoing cocaine detox are assessed for physical symptoms
and damage and may be given medication if appropriate.
