Cocaine+Detox



Cocaine detox is different than many other drug detox programs because cocaine is water-soluble and it disperses through and out of the user's body quickly. Just like the relatively short lived high cocaine brings to the mind, it does not stay in the user's body very long either. Consequently, there is no technical, medical detox process for cocaine withdrawal. Although there is not a medical detox process, there is still a psychological withdrawal that goes along with stopping cocaine use. This is where cocaine detox takes place. It helps the user through their psychological withdrawal symptoms. The rebound effect from being on a binge of using cocaine can make a person feel extremely low and show symptoms of depression. This psychological dependency issue and resulting effects need to be addressed while a person is going through detox, withdrawal from cocaine use. Cocaine is always "cut", reducing its strength and purity. This "cutting" process is done with a variety of substances, including vitamin B and baby laxative. These products can have their own toxic effect on the human body and may require some type of stabilization process. Binges, or frequently using cocaine, can have its own serious, physical consequences. Binges can last for days at a time and the participants stay up all night doing cocaine. These are all important issues in the initial cocaine detox, withdrawal and stabilization prior to a person being prepared to participate in rehab for cocaine abuse.
