Cocaine addiction is a chronic condition characterized by an intense craving for cocaine, a powerful stimulant drug. It affects the brain's reward system, leading to compulsive drug-seeking behavior despite negative consequences. Users may experience increased energy, alertness, and euphoria, but these effects are short-lived, often leading to repeated use. Over time, individuals may develop tolerance, requiring larger doses to achieve the same effects. Withdrawal symptoms can include fatigue, depression, and anxiety, making it difficult to quit. Treatment options, such as therapy and support groups, can help individuals recover from cocaine addiction and regain control of their lives.
