Cocaine or coke, being a strong stimulant, is used for recreational and medical purposes. It is highly addictive and even when used for a short time the likelihood of becoming dependent on it is quite high. Cocaine is usually snorted, inhaled like smoke or taken by means of injection into a vein in the form of a solution.
As a matter of fact, about 100-500 billion dollars is circulated for the illegal use of cocaine annually. Moreover, approximately 14 to 21 million people use the drug every year which makes it the second most illegal drug “in popularity” after cannabis. As of 2013, the usage of cocaine has resulted in 4,300 deaths.
In medicine, cocaine is used as a numbing medium in painful procedures. Some countries use cocaine for such conditions as mouth and lung ulcers.
When used for recreational purposes, the effects of cocaine can last from 15 minutes to an hour. The drug strongly affects the nervous system and makes the user feel euphoric and energetic. However, as addiction develops and these feelings of euphoria and happiness have passed, the physical and mental side effects start and begin “destroying” the person. Cocaine addiction is a much more serious issue than those dependent on it believe, and it is to be treated with the help of health care professionals.
Depending on how much the drug you have taken, as well as how it was ingested, the intensity of side effects those that use cocaine experience will be different. The short-term effects that cause addicts to start using cocaine are substituted with more serious mental and physical long-term effects that might last from months to years.

This sample timeline of cocaine detox procedure shows all the changes that take place during the detoxification process. Of course, this timeline is a general outline because cocaine detox can be a different experience for different people but it will give you an idea of what to expect on your path to full recovery.
First 1-3 Hours
The moment you stop taking cocaine physically and realize it mentally, withdrawal symptoms start to surface. During the first few hours you will already feel exhaustion, irritability and have an increased appetite. What’s more interesting, is during this period cravings are not as severe as in the upcoming stage.
Week 1
The first week of detox is when you will start feeling an intense need and strong cocaine cravings. This period is characterized by symptoms such as insomnia, nightmares and abrupt mood swings.
Weeks 2-4
The symptoms that appeared during the previous period continue for the next couple of weeks, to which concentration problems, emotional breakdowns, irritability and agitation are added.
Weeks 5-10
After having overcome the difficult withdrawal symptoms during the first month of recovery, the healing of the mind and body can begin. During this time the previous cocaine withdrawal symptoms will gradually disappear. However, even after detox some may still feel the need for cocaine at times, which can cause anxiety and uneasiness but with time these feelings will leave you as well.
Once patients leave recovery for cocaine dependence, they still face challenges in maintaining their sobriety and avoiding relapse. We help our patients maintain their resolve and their coping strategies through our after-rehab program, which includes meetings with therapists and support groups. Additionally, we welcome family members and friends to attend sessions when possible to help further support a safe and sober return home for their loved on.
