A small mountain of white powder lays in front of a young man on the counter of his one-bedroom apartment that he shares with his girlfriend. He had promised her that he would stop using cocaine. Yet he finds himself, at midnight, face-to-face with it once again. The tightly rolled-up dollar bill beside the mountain promises him a night of fun. He always enjoys using cocaine. He wonders if he can ever pull away from cocaine’s draw. Can anyone help him when the cravings are the highest in the middle of the night?

The Development of a Cocaine Use Disorder

Several factors go into developing a cocaine use disorder. One of those factors is genetics. However, other factors can be at play. If you have a mood disorder such as depression, you might be more likely to develop one. Also, having unresolved childhood or adult trauma increases your risks. Growing up with a parent who used cocaine might contribute to your chances, as does having friends who partake in cocaine use.

Cocaine Use Disorder: How to Know if You Need Treatment

One of the hardest things anyone can do is ask for help. When you need help for a cocaine use disorder, you might feel like nobody understands what you need help with, or even if you need help in the first place. One of the main ways to know if you need help is if cocaine is always on your mind. If you are thinking about cocaine and getting more cocaine than anything else in your life, it might be time to seek help.

Another way to know if you need help with a cocaine use disorder is if your family or friends have distanced themselves from you since you started using cocaine. You might also be facing legal trouble due to your cocaine use. Legal trouble could include possession of cocaine, theft to buy cocaine, or distributing cocaine.
