The lethal dose of cocaine remains unknown.

Cocaine may in inhaled, snorted, injected or smoked. Irrespective of the method of intake, cocaine is still a potentially daedly agent. A common route of transportation of cocaine is by swallowing cocaine packed in condoms.

Behavioral therapies are frequently the only available effective treatment for cocaine addiction. However, amalgamation of both medical and behavioral treatments are more effective in the treatment of cocaine addiction.

Drug Addiction Treatment


Drug addiction treatment is as individualized as the person (and family) that is seeking help. The goals of drug addiction treatment are to get an addict off a drug, multiple drugs or a combination of drugs and alcohol, and help the addict understand what led to and supported the addiction in the first place.


Whether a person is addicted to cocaine, crack, crystal meth, marijuana, OxyContin or another substance, there are rehab treatment programs that can help him/her obtain a life free from drugs. Another crucial goal is to give each person the tools they’ll need to stay off drugs in the future.
