About crack addiction
Crack addiction is a serious health condition. Our experienced team is ready to start the recovery journey with you. Addiction comes in many forms, the most common of which are drugs, medicines, alcoholism and smoking. Usually, there is some confusion about the difference between cocaine and crack, often believed to be different drugs, but in terms of active substance, they are the same.
What is different between the two is the form of presentation: while the cocaine is inhaled, the crack is smoked. And that makes a big difference, since cocaine, when snorted, takes about 15 minutes to reach its peak, lasting around 45 minutes, crack takes 10 seconds to reach the bloodstream, being more immediate, however its effect ends in about 10 minutes. Addiction can develop quickly or over a long period of time. Its roots are basically in the way of dealing with stress and anxiety. In these situations the behavior of addiction comes into play, putting crack as a way of relieving these symptoms.
Even after realizing some losses from the use of crack and planning to stop using it, the person just can't do it, they have lost control. Who controls now is the drug and, in the most chronic state, the thought that takes over the whole day is to feed the addiction. Thus begins an endless cycle of unhealthy behavior that makes them establish even deeper ties of addiction with the use of the drug. The result is often devastating, affecting all areas of life, resulting in chronic illness, poor social engagement, isolation, problems at work, high strain on family and loving relationships, chaotic lifestyle and financial problems.
