drug that can have devastating effects on a
person’s health and well-being.

We’re here. We’re listening. We can help.
Paramount Wellness Retreat’s dream team of seasoned professionals will seamlessly guide you or your loved one to thrive in the path of recovery with mentoring expertise and empathy.
The Effects of Cocaine
Cocaine can produce a short-lived, intense high that is followed by a crash that can leave the user feeling depleted, anxious, and paranoid. Over time, repeated use of cocaine can lead to physical and psychological dependence, and withdrawal symptoms can be intense and difficult to manage without professional help.
The dangers of cocaine use don’t stop there. Prolonged use can also cause a range of serious health problems, including:
Heart attacks
Strokes
Seizures
Respiratory failure
Irreparable damage to
the nasal passages
Mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, and paranoia
Warning Signs of Cocaine Use
There are several warning signs that a person may be using cocaine. Some of the most common signs include:
#1
Physical changes: Cocaine use can cause physical changes, such as dilated pupils, increased heart rate and blood pressure, and changes in appetite.
#2
Behavioral changes: Cocaine use can cause changes in a person’s behavior, such as increased talkativeness, restlessness, and irritability. People who use cocaine may also become more aggressive, impulsive, and paranoid.
#3
Changes in sleeping patterns: Cocaine use can disrupt a person’s normal sleeping patterns, causing them to stay awake for long periods or to sleep for shorter periods.
#4
Changes in energy levels: Cocaine is a stimulant drug, and people who use it may experience increased energy levels and decreased appetite.
#5
Financial difficulties: Cocaine is an expensive drug, and many people who use it will struggle to pay for it. This can lead to financial difficulties, including debt and theft.
#6
Possession of drug paraphernalia: People who use cocaine may have items associated with drug use, such as razor blades, mirrors, or rolled-up dollar bills.
#7
Neglect of responsibilities: Cocaine use can cause a person to neglect their responsibilities, such as missing work or school, or neglecting their personal relationships.
