Cocaine is an illegal stimulant that is highly addictive and risky to use. The substance increases dopamine, which controls the brain’s reward system. When using cocaine, there’s a buildup of dopamine that can’t be recycled and causes bursts of energy and alertness.
When you develop a tolerance for the drug, you start to require higher dosages in order to achieve the same effects. This can develop into dependency and substance use disorder (SUD).
Long-term use of cocaine can cause numerous negative physical and mental health symptoms.
Physical symptoms can depend on how the drug is used. Smoking cocaine can cause respiratory distress or asthma, for instance, while snorting can lead to a loss of smell. Injecting cocaine into the body through a needle can increase the risk of contracting HIV or hepatitis C. Consuming the drug orally can reduce blood flow due to bowel decay.
Other, general consequences include:
Mental health symptoms can also develop due to cocaine use. Anxiety, depression, or other mood disorders might surface as the body develops a dependency on cocaine for elated, stimulant-like feelings.
When overcoming cocaine abuse, it’s important to heal underlying causes or developed mental health symptoms involved with the drug addiction.

Infinite Recovery takes a comprehensive approach in our cocaine addiction treatment program in Texas. This includes evidence-based treatments, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).
CBT is a type of psychotherapy that helps clients recognize the connection between their unhelpful thoughts or feelings and their behaviors, such as cocaine use. With a therapist, you learn to channel your focus towards new perspectives and healthy coping mechanisms to avoid destructive behaviors that feed into your addiction.
DBT is rooted in CBT, but is best for clients struggling with difficult emotions and emotional regulation. It helps you accept yourself and your situation while progressing towards a healthier version of yourself. You learn to navigate overwhelming emotions while feeling seen and validated throughout the process.
Part of a whole-person approach is holistic therapy. At Infinite Recovery, we offer the following holistic care:

Part of our full continuum of care includes an intensive outpatient program (IOP). This is a step down from residential treatment as it is flexible to fit your schedule and routine, helping promote recovery while you transition into your daily life. We keep you connected to treatment, therapy, resources, and peer support at all stages of recovery to sustain sobriety long-term.

Holistic therapy is important to your overall behavioral health. This includes your emotional, mental, spiritual, social, and physical health. Holistic therapies and activities, like recreational or movement therapy, art therapy, yoga, mindfulness, or spiritual therapy, encourage you to turn to healthy coping skills to manage overwhelming thoughts or feelings in recovery. Rather than turn to addictive behaviors, clients can integrate these holistic activities into their daily lives to promote sobriety and long-term healing.

While at our addiction treatment center, Infinite Recovery values family involvement and works to include families in the recovery journey as much as possible.
