Research has shown that people with relatives who have addiction problems are more likely to develop an addiction. It’s most likely the factors that play a role in Cocaine Use Disorder are genetic, environmental, biological and psychological.
*The DSM-5 is published by the American Psychiatric Association. While they may halfheartedly try to stop or cut back on its use, it’s usually unsuccessful. Like other addictions, there are consequences for a person who has a problem (alcoholism or drug sufferers), but they’ll usually continue to use the drug. A substance use disorder is a problematic pattern of using alcohol or another substance that impacts impairment in everyday life or causes distress that’s noticeable. The DSM-5 has updated the criteria commonly used to diagnose either an alcohol disorder or a substance use disorder. This means that more than one in three or 40 percent of the drug misuse or abuse-related visits to the emergency room involved cocaine.
The Drug Abuse Warning Network report showed that cocaine was included in 505,224 of the nearly 1.3 million visits to the emergency room for drug misuse or abuse. The National Survey on Drug Use and Health reported that 913,000 people in the nation met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5)* criteria for dependence or abuse of cocaine in 2014.
Because of this “flood” of dopamine, the normal brain communication is interrupted and causes the high that people get from cocaine. However, in cocaine use, the dopamine is prevented from re-cycling, which causes extra amounts to build up between nerve cells. In normal instances, the brain releases dopamine in response to possible rewards, such as the smell of good food, then cycles back into the cell that released it and shuts off the signal between nerve cells. When people use cocaine, it increases the levels of the natural chemical messenger called dopamine in the brain.
One of the most frequent and serious consequences of cocaine use is overdose, which can cause heart attacks and strokes that can be deadly. In addition, there’s risk of great harm when cocaine is taken with alcohol, heroin and other substances. A powerfully addictive stimulant, its use has serious short and long-term health effects. Cocaine is made from the leaves of a coca plant native to South America.
