CONNECTICUT | NEW YORK - Cocaine addiction is growing at an alarming rate worldwide and is, perhaps, one of the most difficult drug addictions for an individual to overcome. Treatment requires a unique perspective along with a true understanding of the addiction in order to be able to help an individual get into recovery.

"All interventions for drug addiction are always tough, but with cocaine addiction, it seems particularly so," states a spokesperson for Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center . "The high experienced from cocaine is really like no other. It often gives the user a superhero complex where they believe that they can conquer and/or do things a rational individual wouldn't. It's difficult to intervene in that situation because you're asking a person to give up those "super powers", even if those powers are only imagined. Many times, the cocaine addict's self-esteem is tightly connected to that superhero feeling and when they enter into drug rehab, their ego takes a huge a hit, taking their self-worth with it. That's why it's important to have the proper support in place to help them understand that their value of self has nothing to do with the feeling they get from using cocaine."

Recognizing the symptoms of cocaine addiction is paramount to saving the cocaine addict from a certain death. If you notice spurts of euphoria, nosebleeds or an excessive runny nose, dilated pupils, restlessness, inability to sit still, paranoia, hallucinations, periods of unexplained mania or tremors, you friend or loved one may be addicted to cocaine. Enlisting the help of caring professionals is your best course of action.
