Crack Addiction Treatment
What is Crack?
Crack is a form of cocaine. It is in rock form and usually ingested by heating it up and smoking the heated substance in order to obtain a high. When it is in the purest form, it is white in color with jagged edges, and resembles small off white nuggets. It has a consistency of candle wax but can be as hard as plastic and brittle and could have a crystal like appearance. The DEA considers crack one of the top ten drugs threats in the United States and is powerful enough to cause an addiction. Because of this, there are crack addiction treatment programs available.
When an individual smokes crack, there is a variety of both physiological and psychological effects that alter the chemicals in the brain. These will breakdown and cause side effects that an individual may like and want to feel again.
Physiological effects of Crack
The physiological effects include increase in heart rate and blood pressure while experiencing a constriction in the blood vessels. Other side effects also include an increase in the body temperature and the pupils will be dilated. Other side effects can include violent behavior, and bizarre reactions. Muscle twitches, tremors, vertigo, and paranoia are some addiction side effects that can sometimes be triggered with an overdose of amphetamines.
Crack addiction treatment programs will also help an individual become more aware of the psychological effects too. The psychological effects include the release of brain chemicals referred to as dopamine, alertness, increase in energy, insomnia, paranoia, and more. Most of the time, a high can last five to ten minutes and then the dopamine levels begin to decrease and then the user will fall into a depressed state.
Drug addiction has long lasting and serious side effects and with over 40 million reported cases of illnesses and death related to addictions, it is time to take action.
