Cocaine Addiction


In this Article:


Cocaine AddictionCocaine is a powerful central nervous system stimulant. In the brain, cocaine binds to certain receptorsand blocks their uptake of neurotransmitters including dopamine and serotonin.

Cocaine has tremendous addictive potential, in part since its "high" or euphoria typically lasts no more than an hour before the user craves to use it again, leading to periods of bingeing during which the user might stay awake for a few days or more. This is often followed by a "come down", a period of acute dysphoria and depression.
