I HIGHLY recommend allowing RAC to provide the care and tools for your lifelong sobriety. I love every individual there for giving me a new lease on life!
I had a very nice time. Community and staff are fantastic, beyond what was expected. I had lots of eye opening talks, learned recovery strategies, and had lots of fun with other people just like me. I am excited to move forward to another one of their programs!
I absolutely LOVED RAC, and all of the staff. I was absolutely terrified to go to rehab. But it has been such a warm and welcoming experience. Starting with my detox, all of the staff and nurses made sure of it my needs were met. The ARPN has been a God send. She makes sure you're comfortable. I would recommend RAC to anyone who is ready to get the help they so much deserve.
The Robert Alexander center is wonderful place to recover from drugs and alcohol the detox portion of my recovery here was amazing I felt comfortable at all times. When I moved over to the residential side the group therapy and the individual therapy both did wonders for my self confidence and self worth. This place is a 10 out of 10 for anyone wanting to recover from drugs
My name is Jeff upon coming here you will feel anxious and worried about where you’re going and what you’re getting into. However you will be more than pleasantly surprised because the staff and other residence are great, the education you will get is outstanding and helpful. Just absorb it all and you will be better. Do not ama after a few days because it’s not your thing because it’s not your thing, it will become your thing if you let it. Good luck.
Introduction To Cocaine Addiction
Understanding The Evolution and Danger of Cocaine Use
Cocaine has been historically utilized for medical purposes since the 15th century, particularly as a surgical anesthesia. Although it is still legal to use cocaine for medical purposes, it is hardly ever used due to its high potential for addiction.
Cocaine, a stimulant, is derived from the coca plant that is commonly found in South America. Illegally bought cocaine is often mixed with other white powders like cornstarch and talcum powder to increase profits for sellers. The mixture of cocaine with opioids like fentanyl can be fatal to the user when they are unaware of the content.
As with other addictive substances, cocaine increases the brain’s natural levels of dopamine, which is linked to the reward system. The feeling of euphoria that results from increased levels of dopamine is why the drug is so addictive. However, repeated use of cocaine may not be as pleasurable as the first experience. Long-term cocaine use leads to brain adaptation, which may cause an individual to crave more of the drug to achieve the desired effect, also known as developing a tolerance.
According to a 2020 study by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, 1.9% of individuals aged 12 and above reported using cocaine in the past year. Of that number, 0.5% were found to have a cocaine use disorder. Research indicates that cocaine is also being used by preteens and teenagers. In 2021, a study found that 1.2% of high school seniors and 0.2% of 8th graders used cocaine in the past year.

Understanding Cocaine Withdrawal and Its Symptoms
When a person suddenly stops using cocaine or reduces their intake, they will likely experience withdrawal symptoms. These symptoms may include any or all of the following:
- Intense cravings to use again
- Fatigue
- Irritability
- Lethargy
- Agitation
- Loss of pleasure
- Vivid dreams
- Paranoia
Unlike other drugs, cocaine does not usually result in physical symptoms such as vomiting during withdrawal. As a result, cocaine withdrawal is typically not a medical emergency. However, some individuals may still experience severe withdrawal symptoms that require medical attention to manage.
It’s important to note that if the person was using cocaine mixed with opioids, their withdrawal symptoms are likely to include physical symptoms. If these physical symptoms, such as vomiting and sweating, become severe, it can lead to dehydration and become a health crisis that requires medical attention.

Cocaine’s Effects on Behavior and the Body
When cocaine addiction sets in, both physical and behavioral changes are likely to occur. Those who feel cocaine dependence, using it to jumpstart their day, are likely to experience such changes. Chronic use can lead to several negative health consequences, as cocaine is a stimulant that disrupts sleep, leading to psychotic symptoms like hallucinations and delusions.
Different methods of cocaine use can lead to a range of long-term health consequences. For example, those who snort cocaine may experience nosebleeds, loss of smell, and difficulty swallowing. Smoking cocaine can contribute to respiratory distress, oral health concerns, and even asthma. Intravenous users are at a higher risk of contracting HIV, Hepatitis B, and C if they use unsterile equipment. This method of use can also cause collapsed veins and scarring at injection sites.
Like other addictions, behavioral changes can occur with cocaine abuse. Individuals may struggle at work or school and face strained relationships with loved ones and friends. They may engage in risk-taking behaviors, and even experience legal troubles. You might notice that they have stopped engaging in activities they once enjoyed and that they carry drug paraphernalia like straws or pipes.
Understanding Cocaine Overdoses: Symptoms and Prevention
Cocaine overdose is a serious health hazard that can occur at any time of use, regardless of whether it’s the first or hundredth time someone has used the drug. Individuals who mix cocaine with other substances, particularly opioids like heroin, are at a higher risk of overdose.
The following symptoms are associated with a cocaine overdose:
- Increased body temperature
- Increased heart rate
- Chest pains
- Tremors
- Nausea and vomiting
- Anxiety
- Paranoia
Cocaine overdose can be fatal, so it should be treated as a medical emergency. Because fentanyl and other opioids are frequently mixed with cocaine, administering Narcan during an overdose can be beneficial. It’s difficult for users to know for sure what is in the drugs they consume, so even if they don’t think they’ve taken an opioid, a blood test is the only way to be certain.
Narcan is an opioid overdose reversal medication that can save lives in cases of opioid overdoses, such as fentanyl. However, it will not reverse an overdose that is not caused by an opioid. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, 19,447 fatal overdoses in 2020 involved cocaine.
