30 Years Of Treating Cocaine Addiction in Houston
Cocaine addiction is not a physical or will power problem. It is a disease that affects the mind, body and spirit. Our programs are all designed around this idea, which is backed by medical literature and over 30 years of experience.
In order to treat cocaine addiction, the first step will always be the detox period. Unfortunately, this step is always the hardest, because the cocaine detox process is brutal, and we do not recommend detoxing from cocaine or crack at home.
Step 1: With our medically assisted detox program, the physical withdrawal symptoms and emotional distress during a cocaine detox can be reduced to a much more humane level.
Step 2: After detox is completed, the next step is inpatient, which is the most important step in learning how to stay sober long term.
Step 3: The final step is an outpatient program, which will increase the chances of long term recovery.
We encourage you to reach out to Bay Area Recovery Center if you or a loved one is addicted to cocaine and needs treatment for their addiction. We’ve been there, and we can help you.

Effects Of Cocaine On The Addict
Not only is cocaine infamously addictive but the effects of cocaine addiction are actually quite devastating. Cocaine is a nefarious drug that ravishes the body and creates an extreme physical and mental dependency for the drug.
After a short period of time, the body begins to build a tolerance and more and more of the drug is needed with each use to feel “normal.” This creates a dangerous vicious cycle that usually spirals out of control.
Immediately after use, cocaine activates the ‘flight or fight’ response in the brain which increases blood-pressure, widens the breathing tube, and narrows blood vessels. This leads to the long term effects that happen after chronic cocaine usage.
Over time this response will wreak havoc on the body. This effect strains the heart, brain, and lungs by pushing them toward their limit until they can no longer be pushed. Cardiovascular failure usually follows which can lead to death.
Long-term Effects of Cocaine Addiction:
- Accelerated deterioration of the brain
- Inability to “feel” emotions without the use of the drug
- Depression
- Undue aggression and anger
- Heart problems such as irregular heartbeat
- Tooth Decay
- Organ Damage
- Isolation from family and friends
Some Short-Term Effects Of Cocaine:
- Agitation
- Paranoia
- A short-lived feeling of happiness followed by a long period of sadness.
- Headaches
- Elevated heart-rate
