Substance Abuse
Cocaine addiction can create strong reward/crash cycles that affect mood, sleep, and impulse control. Treatment builds coping skills, relapse prevention, and stable routines that reduce the cycle’s pull.
Cocaine increases dopamine and can create intense reward cycles. After use, people often experience a crash—fatigue, irritability, anxiety, or depression—that can drive repeated use. This cycle can feel like a rollercoaster: high energy and confidence during use, then low mood and agitation after.
Cocaine addiction can affect relationships, finances, sleep, and mental health. Many people also experience increased anxiety or paranoia—especially during binges or comedown periods.
Therapy focuses on triggers, coping strategies, and rebuilding routines—often paired with support for anxiety, depression, or trauma. Recovery plans often include structured coping for weekends/late nights, accountability, and strategies to avoid environments where cocaine is available.
Cocaine relapse risk often rises in specific contexts. Naming these is not judgment—it’s strategy.
Stability often improves as sleep normalizes, routine returns, and coping skills replace the “high/crash” pattern. Treatment helps you build a plan that protects energy and mood without relying on stimulants.
