Cocaine Detox & Cocaine Treatment



When cocaine was first created in the 1800’s from processed coca leaves, it was hailed as a wonder drug. For decades, it was the darling of the medical and psychiatric communities, used for everything from eye surgery to the common cold. However, once its addictive properties became apparent, it was banned.

Cocaine treatment works


Over the last hundred years, cocaine treatment has become increasingly common. Over 250,000 admissions to medical detox and drug rehabs in 2006 were for cocaine treatment. If you add the number of people who received cocaine treatment with alcohol treatment, the 250,000 figure becomes much higher.

Cocaine treatment is for your health


Long-time abusers of cocaine have frequent health problems. Requesting medical detox and cocaine treatment now will prevent you from doing further damage to your body, your family, and your bank account. Cocaine causes more than half of all ER visits involving illicit drugs. Without medical detox and cocaine treatment, the average cocaine abuser can expect:

  • Anxiety, depression, and irritability.
    Heart valve problems, stroke, heart attack, brain aneurisms, seizure, all caused by skyrocketing blood pressure.
    • Auditory hallucinations, mood disturbances, paranoia, restlessness, sleep disorders. Medical detox is the safe way to quit.
    Cocaine is a very powerful drug, with some lasting consequences and side-effects. Quitting “cold turkey” hurts your chances of success and causes you unnecessary pain and discomfort. When you go through withdrawal, your body screams out for the drug it has become so used to.

Dr. Mohammad makes medical detox comfortable


Medical detox soothes these intense withdrawal symptoms and allows you to cleanse your body in comfort and safety. Dr. Mohammad will even provide medications as needed to make the transition from drug use to recovery that much easier. Medical detox is the first step into cocaine treatment, which allows you to live a normal, productive life. These are steps in the right direction. Who says they have to be painful?
