Cocaine addiction
The
number of cocaine users in the Netherlands is on the rise. Especially
among those groups of people who are under pressure daily to perform
and meet tight deadlines, or those who are dealing with some severe
issues in their day-to-day life.
Cocaine makes you feel
self-confident, cheerful and happy. It can help you think more
clearly and makes you feel that you can perform better. There is a
feeling of increased energy and a temporary increase in muscle
strength and stamina. Cocaine can also trigger sexual stimulation.
The above list of effects should not make you consider using cocaine. Cocaine use has some very adverse effects. This substance is one of the most dangerously addictive and can lead to death. Cocaine users are 24 times more at risk of suffering a heart attack.
The effects of cocaine are brief. Once the effects have worn off, feelings of depression or exhaustion often emerge. There will be a strong urge to use more cocaine in an attempt to overcome these feelings of depression. Cocaine use can lead to a sense of grandeur and cocaine users may perform unusual acts compared with their former standards of conduct. This can lead to dangerous situations. Cocaine suppresses the feeling of hunger. Users lose their appetite and often lose considerable amounts of weight while their overall physical health deteriorates.
Many people from this target group at RoderSana have waited a long time to look for help. They were afraid of the effects of not using cocaine, and afraid of the consequences if they were to continue using the substance.
