Cocaine Addiction is characterized by a strong compulsion to use the drug despite harmful consequences. Common signs include frequent, intense cravings, neglect of responsibilities, mood swings, financial problems, and increased risk-taking behavior. Physical effects may include weight loss, insomnia, increased heart rate, and nasal damage (if snorted). Cocaine also impacts mental health, often leading to anxiety, paranoia, and depression. Treatment typically involves behavioral therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), contingency management, and support groups. In some cases, medications may be used to manage symptoms or co-occurring disorders. Long-term recovery often requires a combination of therapy, social support, and lifestyle changes.
