Cocaine Addiction

Through a partnership with our sister program, The Heights Treatment, Transcend provides access to quality cocaine addiction treatment for addicts in need. We employ a layered approach to supporting client sobriety in our treatment program and find that most addicts have deeper underlying issues that led them to addiction. It is of the utmost importance to address these issues, as long-term recovery is difficult to attain with the remaining problems at stake.

We aid our clients in confronting their trauma in a safe and supportive environment so that they have the best chance for long-term sobriety. We also understand that treatment plans tend to have favorable outcomes when clients feel included in the process; therefore, our superb staff complement uses inclusive and engaging programming to further drive the addiction recovery effort.

The addictive property of cocaine makes it a hazardous drug. However, its dangerous label also comes from the fact that it has adverse effects on the body after use. Unlike other drugs that have numerous short and long-term effects when used, most of the cocaine’s effects last for a short time. However,

Some of the short term effects include:

• High blood pressure

• Increased heart rate

• Headaches

• Changes in sleep patterns

• Loss of appetite

• Erratic behavior, and at times hallucinations

• Increased body temperature

More severe or long term effects include:

• Cardiovascular issues (i.e. heart disease, heart attack, etc.)

• Stroke

• Major Organ Damage

• Seizures

• Hallucinations or psychosis

• Respiratory arrest

• Death

While there is no measure of knowing who is likely to experience what effect, frequency, and quantity of use tend to be huge factors in the equation. As cocaine use continues over long periods, various organ systems, such as the lungs, heart, brain, and the gastrointestinal system, can all begin to suffer.

Regardless of how deep in active addiction one might be, Transcend believes all addicts are deserving of treatment if they are seeking help. We offer a safe space where holistic health is a top priority. We value our clients’ wellness and keep them at the focus of all of our treatment options.
