Cocaine
is notorious when it comes to illegal drugs. It is a powerful
stimulant that is short-acting and can produce sensations of energy
and euphoria. It can be taken in by snorting, smoking, or injecting.
It is highly addictive and has a high potential for abuse. Excessive
use of cocaine can result in cardiovascular problems and other
issues.
The
most obvious signs of cocaine abuse is the constant longing or need
for the drug. People can go to extreme lengths just to get their
hands on the substance and it can get to a point where it is
interfering with their life. While there are currently no
FDA-approved medications for treating cocaine addiction, there are
behavioral methods that have proven to be effective.
