Cocaine Detox
Cocaine is a stimulant that comes from the leaves of the coca plant. In the early 20th century, doctors used cocaine as a surgical anesthetic. Many also prescribed the drug for fatigue, indigestion and appetite suppression. As doctors became aware of cocaine’s addictive potential, however, they began using other medications instead.

Cocaine can cause permanent damage to your brain. It diminishes function in the region that is responsible for making decisions. Research also shows that cocaine can make brain cells turn over at an alarmingly high rate, contributing to the premature death of those cells.
This drug also has dramatic physical effects. When you take cocaine, your heart rate, and blood pressure increase. Your body temperature may rise, and you sweat more.
Long-term cocaine use can cause permanent damage to your body. Because cocaine constricts your blood vessels, it can stiffen them over time. This leads to elevated blood pressure levels and an increased risk for cardiac issues wherein detox in Pasadena, California would be beneficial.
