Cocaine Use and Addiction

Individuals may look to cocaine use for social reasons or to deal with stress or other emotional conditions. Whatever leads to the use of the drug, cocaine is addictive. 

Cocaine affects the control of dopamine, the body’s neurotransmitter that handles pleasure. Essentially, the drug floods the brain with a high that gives instant gratification. The brain starts to crave such a high, and, in an addictive process, becomes less stimulated by cocaine, which can lead to increased use. In some cases, the result is binge usage, a condition that can increase dependency and overdose risk.
