Step 1
Admit that you have a problem. There is no safe way to use cocaine and if you have an addiction, you need to stop using completely. Delaying treatment can cause your cocaine addiction to get worse.
-
Step 2
Seek help from a qualified counselor or drug treatment facility. You can't overcome your addiction alone, you will need plenty of help along the way.
-
Step 3
Find a support group. Once you quit using cocaine you are very succeptible to a relapse. It helps to get support from people who know what you are going through and have overcome addiction.
-
Step 4
Break off all friendships that are unhealthy. You can't remain friends with people you used to use cocaine with. If you are around addicts, you will have a greater risk of a relapse. Cocaine is a very powerful addiction, so you need to stay away from all temptation.
-
Step 5
Remain positive and take it one day at a time. Recognize your achievements--every day you go without using is another step closer to overcoming your addiction.
-
Step 6
Remember that once you are an addict you will always be an addict. You can never again try cocaine, even if it's just a small amount one time. Going to support groups and counseling sessions must also become a regular part of your life.

on 8/5/2008 This true that delay in treatment process can lead a patient to many psychological disorders. Proper treatment on time is essential for drug addicted person. Effects of cocaine are curable but on time. Rehab and treatment centers of drugs can give new life to victim.
