Suggest Treatment For Cocaine Addiction

Hi wondering if you could help I was introduced to cocaine at sixteen by a family member, I am now twenty two and rely on it all the time, if my mam and dad found out it would kill them and I want nothing else but to say no to this horrible drug but it seems as soon as I have a little drink or anything of the sort I crave it desperately I have big ambitions with my life but this has honestly held me back to tell the truth I am on it right now, please help what can I do.

Hi,

It is good that you have at least thought of quitting. Cocaine is a difficult habit to quit and I would suggest that you inform your parents and take their help in quitting. They can arrange for you to see a specialist who can then help you through the process. Trying to this alone just by will power is not impossible but just very difficult. Avoid being with people who are into any kind of drugs as it will increase your craving when you see them high.

Best wishes.
