Cocaine of course is known for being a "glamorous" drug. Nothing could be further from the truth. It functions as a stimulant which means when introduced to the brain it heightens awareness of the senses. Cocaine also has the ability to block the dopamine cycles of the brain to increase the length of its euphoric feeling. It comes in two common forms. The powder form is usually taken by snorting through the nose. In the 1980's "crack" cocaine was introduced to the world. It was a hardened, crystallized form of the drug that was ingested by smoking. Crack led to a quicker high then the more standard powder methods. Cocaine in either form is highly addictive and a very difficult drug to treat.

Treatment for Cocaine Abuse

The Cocaine addiction treatment program provided at Cirque Lodge is ideal for someone suffering from cocaine abuse. Our cocaine abuse program provides a number of effective therapy programs to help stop addiction practices. In dealing with a cocaine addiction, it is vital to provide effective treatment to the mental process of the individual. Because of the highly addictive nature of cocaine, the brain develops a dependent impulse towards the drug. Even if the individual has no desire to use the drug, they will out of automatic reflex. It is important to change the thinking and the behavior in these situations.

At Cirque Lodge we focus on treating the mental process with effective cognitive behavioral therapy. This therapy program focuses on dealing with the mental processes of the brain and changing the behavioral patterns that coincide. In society a recovering addict is exposed to a number of "triggers." A trigger is a person, place or situation that would bring on the use of cocaine and giving into the addiction. Cognitive behavioral therapy is effective at providing coping strategies necessary to not give into the cocaine addiction and to change the behavior patterns of the recovering addict to not give in to such.

Dual Diagnosis Cocaine Abuse Program

Cirque Lodge is a dual diagnosis alcohol rehab and drug rehab program. This means that we treat the addiction as well as diagnose and treat any underlying mood or emotional disorders. The advantage to dual diagnosis in a cocaine abuse program is immeasurable. Extended use of cocaine can incur such mood or emotional disorders. Cocaine addicts often have paranoia and anxiety in their nature. Properly diagnosing present but not accounted for mood disorders can help to balance a struggling mental process.

More than often cocaine addiction goes hand in hand with certain eating disorders.

When coupled with an addiction, eating disorders can be difficult to treat. The dual diagnosis program at Cirque Lodge drug rehab facility is effective in its approach at stopping eating disorders and providing treatment for the addiction.
