Cocaine is a stimulant that acts on the central nervous system. It triggers the release of a high degree of dopamine. This dopamine release creates a euphoric sensation and is highly addictive.
The effects of cocaine typically last 30 minutes and require re-use to keep the high going. Many users experience strong cocaine cravings because of the need to re-use so often. Whether it’s swallowed, smoked or sniffed, cocaine quickly crosses the blood-brain barrier and affects tissues in the brain.
Normally, dopamine is released in small amounts and for seconds at a time, creating habits and feelings of accomplishment. Sometimes, the brain might release excess dopamine naturally, but the body recycles it. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, cocaine disrupts the normal dopamine pattern in a couple of ways.
First, it drastically increases the amount of dopamine released at once. This large dopamine release gives a heightened and unnatural amount of pleasure felt through any type of activity. Second, it disallows excess dopamine to be recycled back into the brain. This is what leads to a happy high that lasts longer than a naturally occurring period of pleasure.
These massive dumps of dopamine require the brain to adapt to its substance abuse and can completely alter pathways of the brain. Since dopamine acts as the natural reward system for our bodies, repetitive cocaine use eventually rewires the mind’s motivations.
This, in turn, often makes dosage and tolerance for cocaine rise exponentially. Since the drug is highly addictive, cocaine abuse has a great potential to cause severe, long-term effects on a person’s physical health, mental health, and behavioral health. Prolonged usage will alter a person’s brain cells, nerve cells, proteins, and neurotransmitters.
All of these factors make it very difficult for people to recover from Cocaine addiction. Since a cocaine addict’s brain function becomes altered, reducing cocaine usage becomes increasingly more difficult.
All substance use disorders can alter motivations and behavior over time. But the occurring mental disruption of dopamine from cocaine abuse can have a lasting effect on a person’s happiness. As the body gets used to the large amounts of dopamine, cocaine use will only make a person feel normal again. With enough time, a person might not be capable of feeling joy from the real world naturally.
And not only can it rewire the brain, it’s extreme stimulation is hard on the heart and its pipes. Prolonged cocaine abuse weakens the heart and can shrink blood vessels. Brain tissue and muscle tissue depending on these blood vessels can die if enough damage occurs.
If that wasn’t harsh enough, the British Dental Journal has explained how caustic cocaine tears away at the point of administration. A cocaine addict might see a deteriorating gum line or nasal cavity. Even worse, it could potentially create tumors.
Thankfully, professional cocaine addiction treatment can help people in recovery from cocaine deal with these issues through a series of proven, evidence-based techniques.
Because of how cocaine reprograms the brain, it might be suggested that an addict in recovery go through medication-assisted treatment. A medication-assisted detox will help the cocaine user get over the harsh withdrawal symptoms of Cocaine addiction.
A person’s physical addiction to cocaine is much easier to overcome when compared to the psychological dependence that can linger in a person’s mind for years to come. A person addicted to cocaine may center their entire life around drug and alcohol use. It could be a key component of their personality and may have dictated the choices that they have made for decades.
These severe side effects usually warrant supervised inpatient treatment. Treatment centers like our Orange County rehab centers offer necessary medicine and therapy that restore normal health over time. There just isn’t a substitute for addiction recovery professionals.
While a trained professional with the right medication can bring back a person’s normal function, any substance abuse disorder can benefit from a support system as well. Cocaine Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous groups can be great group therapy for people going through cocaine addictions.

Our inpatient program offers behavioral therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). These therapies encourage patients to change the way that they react to environmental stressors, thereby improving the way that they relate to the world.
In addition to scientific and medically approved recovery methods, holistic mind and body treatments may help a person repair damage that cocaine has caused. Guided group counseling sessions also teach the addicted individual that they are not alone in the process that they are going through.
At SoCal Sunrise’s Laguna Niguel location, patients learn from other former addicts who have been down the same road and bounced back to become even stronger from their experience. And of course, individual therapy sessions are implemented to help the addict explore, understand, and fix their underlying addiction issues.
Southern California Sunrise Recovery Center employs treatment methods that benefit the person as a whole. These holistic and proven treatments work by healing from the inside-out.
Our patients eat meals rich in the nutrients and vitamins that are conducive to recovery. They exercise regularly to burn off excess stress and provide a natural influx or “feel good” endorphins. And they practice Yoga and Meditation to increase their mind-body connection and put them at ease with themselves.
Having a healthy body and a peaceful mind will empower individuals in recovery to handle stress in a calm, reflective manner. Here, patients learn to control their cravings, regulate their emotions, and rise above their destructive, old habits to live a healthy, happy life.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email michael@socalsunrise.com
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to michael@socalsunrise.com
