<h2>What is Cocaine?</h2>
Cocaine is a Schedule II stimulant drug that is highly addictive, dangerous, and illegal.<sup>3</sup> Drug dealers often mix cocaine with other substances, called “fillers,” concealing the entirety of the concoction’s ingredients. Dealers sometimes dilute cocaine with fentanyl, a dangerous opioid drug responsible for numerous overdose deaths.<sup>4 </sup>People can use cocaine in a variety of ways, such as snorting it, injecting it into their veins, and smoking it. Smoking cocaine is usually done after it has been crystallized, and this form is commonly referred to as “crack”.<sup>5</sup>

<h2>Dangers of Smoking Cocaine</h2>
Someone who smokes cocaine may experience an almost-instantaneous high that is more intense than the high they’d experience through snorting a powder form of cocaine. This rapid and concentrated effect can make smoking cocaine a more alluring method of consumption and account for some of the reasons why people may choose this method of cocaine use.<sup>6</sup>

When someone buys cocaine on the street, it comes in a white powdery substance that isn’t easily smoked without first changing its formula and consistency. This can be done in one of two ways — <strong><em>freebasi</em><em>ng cocaine</em></strong> or <strong><em>smoking <a href="https://americanaddictioncenters.org/cocaine-treatment/differences-with-crack">crack cocaine</a></em></strong>.<sup>8 </sup>

Freebasing cocaine involves a lengthy, and potentially dangerous, extraction process that eventually results in a purified and very potent form of cocaine.<sup>8 </sup>Crack cocaine does not involve a purification process and is usually less pure, carrying along with it any additives and dilutants alongside as a result, with only about 40% (on average) of it being pure.<sup>8</sup>

After inhaling the smoke from crack cocaine, it only takes about 10-15 seconds before someone experiences an intense rush of euphoria. Someone may experience certain respiratory side effects within minutes or hours after smoking cocaine, including:<sup>9</sup>
[columns count='2']
<ul>
 	<li>Cough.</li>
 	<li>Shortness of breath.</li>
 	<li>Wheezing.</li>
 	<li>Chest pain.</li>
 	<li>Hemoptysis, or coughing up blood.</li>
 	<li>Exacerbation of asthma.</li>
 	<li>Pulmonary edema, an abnormal buildup of fluid in the lungs.</li>
 	<li>Collapsed lung.</li>
 	<li>Pulmonary hemorrhage.</li>
 	<li>Pneumomediastinum, a condition where air gets trapped in the space between the two lungs, called the mediastinum.</li>
 	<li>Thermal airway injury.</li>
</ul>
[/columns]
There are potentially some long-term complications associated with smoking cocaine, too. Various respiratory issues are associated with chronic cocaine smoking, such as a chronic cough with chest pain and blackened sputum (blackened phlegm). Some people may even experience lung scarring and reduced lung capacity, making it difficult for some people to breathe normally.

<h2>Dangers of Snorting Cocaine</h2>
If someone snorts cocaine, they risk irreversible damage to their nose, mouth and throat. Snorting cocaine can cause severe tissue and bone degeneration, which may result in a perforation of the nasal septum, which is the divider between the two nostrils, or perforations in the roof of the mouth. Other potential risks include.<sup>3</sup>
<ul>
 	<li>Loss of smell.</li>
 	<li>Frequent nosebleeds.</li>
 	<li>Chronic runny nose.</li>
 	<li>Difficulty swallowing.</li>
 	<li>Sores, lesions, and ulcers in the nose and throat.</li>
</ul>

</ul>
[/callout]

<h2>Dangers of Injecting Cocaine</h2>
Injecting cocaine involves dissolving the powdery substance with water, then injecting it into a vein. Intravenous injection allows for the drug to be absorbed into the system quickly, providing an almost immediate high.<sup><img class=" wp-image-54824 alignright" src="https://admin.americanaddictioncenters.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/sharing-needles-300x201.jpg" alt="two people share a needle of cocaine." width="327" height="219" /></sup>

When someone injects themselves with cocaine, they put themselves at increased risk for blood-borne diseases, such as hepatitis C and HIV/AIDS. Many people who use drugs share needles, a primary method of spreading HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C.<sup>9</sup>

Contracting IV-related diseases and infections are not the only dangers of injecting cocaine. There is a risk for vein collapse, scarring, and soft tissue infections, too.<sup>10</sup>
<h2>Signs of Cocaine Addiction</h2>
Regardless of the method of use, individuals who use cocaine risk developing an addiction to it. Signs that indicate a person may be suffering from or developing a cocaine addiction include:<sup> 10</sup>
<ul>
 	<li>Unusual paranoia.</li>
 	<li>Changes in sleep or eating patterns.</li>
 	<li>Agitated or edgy mood.</li>
 	<li>Continual runny nose.</li>
 	<li>Going through times of extreme depression.</li>
 	<li>Frequent upper respiratory infections.</li>
 	<li>Loss of interest in things usually enjoyed.</li>
 	<li>Experiencing visual or auditory hallucinations.</li>
 	<li>Going through large amounts of money or having large amounts of cash without explanation.</li>
 	<li>Lack of care for personal hygiene.</li>
 	<li>Weight loss.</li>
</ul>
If you recognize these signs in yourself or someone you love, reach out for help immediately. With the proper treatment, you can begin the journey to healing and vacate from a life ruled by cocaine use. Although the first step may be difficult, with effective, evidence-based treatment you can overcome a cocaine addiction and live a healthier life.

[self-assessment substance="cocaine"]
<h2>Short- and Long-Term Effects of Cocaine Use</h2>
Cocaine, no matter how someone ingests it, may induce changes in a person’s brain that encourage repetitive use and can lead to addiction.<sup>11</sup> In fact, evidence suggests that up to 1 in 6 persons, who use cocaine, will develop a moderate or severe stimulant use disorder. Heavier use through smoking and injection is more heavily associated with developing a stimulant use disorder than lighter use or use through the intranasal and oral pathways.<sup>12</sup>

Other short- and long-term health risks associated with chronic cocaine use that extend well after a person stops using cocaine include:<sup>4,12,13</sup>
<ul>
 	<li>Cognitive impairment.</li>
 	<li>Persisting intermittent psychosis.</li>
 	<li>Seizures (even in those without a preexisting seizure disorder).</li>
 	<li>Irregular heartbeat (cardiac arrhythmia).</li>
 	<li>Organ ischemia or infarction, which can result in kidney failure, gastrointestinal problems, and liver damage.</li>
 	<li>Skin and muscle vasculitis and lesions.</li>
</ul>
Though cocaine use, alone, is dangerous, analyzing the risks associated with an individual’s cocaine use is incomplete without the full examination of their method of use. Heavier users and those who inject or smoke cocaine are more likely to become addicted than lighter users or those who snort or ingest cocaine orally.<sup>12 </sup>Although any cocaine use carries with it a risk of addiction as well as neurological and cardiovascular complications, each manner of ingestion has its own associated and unique health risks.

<h2 id="insurancenv">What is the Cost of Rehab in Nevada?</h2>
The cost of attending an addiction treatment center in Nevada varies, depending on the facility, your needs, the services offered, and more. Most Nevada drug rehabs accept some form of private or state-funded health insurance. For addiction treatment providers that don’t accept insurance, they often provide other payment options, such as payment plans for private payments.

In 2020, Nevada addiction treatment facilities accepted various forms of payment including:<sup>1</sup>
<ul>
 	<li>Private health insurance, which was accepted at 70.6% of facilities.</li>
 	<li>State-financed health insurance (other than Medicaid), which was taken at 40.4% of facilities.</li>
 	<li>Cash or self-payment, which was accepted by 84.4% of facilities in the state.</li>
 	<li><a href="https://americanaddictioncenters.org/rehab-guide/medicare" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Medicare</a>, which 37.6% of treatment centers took.</li>
 	<li><a href="https://americanaddictioncenters.org/insurance-coverage/using-medicaid-to-pay-for-rehab" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Medicaid</a>, which was accepted at 81.7% of facilities in Nevada.</li>
</ul>
Many facilities accept more than one type of payment. Among them, 54.1% offered a sliding scale payment method and 53.2% offered services at a reduced rate or free of charge to uninsured individuals and those without access to funds.<sup>1</sup>

<a href="https://deserthopetreatment.com/">Desert Hope Treatment Center</a> in Las Vegas <a href="https://americanaddictioncenters.org/verify-insurance" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">accepts many private insurance plans</a> offered through large, reputable companies like <a href="https://americanaddictioncenters.org/insurance-coverage/kaiser-permanente" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kaiser Permanente</a>, <a href="https://americanaddictioncenters.org/insurance-coverage/unitedhealth-group" target="_blank" rel="noopener">United Health</a>, Humana, Elevance Health (formerly Anthem in Nevada), and more. We also offer <a href="https://americanaddictioncenters.org/payment-options" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">other payment plan options</a> if you don’t have insurance.
<h2>Nevada State-Funded Rehab Options</h2>
As previously mentioned, Nevada operates a free <a href="https://cssnv.org/crisis-hotline/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Crisis Call Center</a> hotline 24/7 for individuals experiencing any type of crisis. This referral service helps connect individuals with resources to get the care they need.

Additionally the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) provides a free <a href="https://findtreatment.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">treatment services locator</a> tool that allows individuals to filter results by specific services offered, geographical area, types of payment/funding accepted, and more.

Treatment providers certified with the state of Nevada's Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Agency (SAPTA) are listed on the <a href="https://dpbh.nv.gov/Programs/ClinicalSAPTA/dta/Providers/SAPTAProviders/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Health and Human Services Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health (DPBH)</a> website, which separates the facilities that are state funded from those that are not.

There are also 89 facilities in Nevada that accept Medicaid, the health insurance that helps eligible low-income individuals and families, who can't afford medical care, pay for some or all of their medical bills.<sup>1,4</sup>

It's important to know that <a href="https://americanaddictioncenters.org/rehab-guide/state-funded" target="_blank" rel="noopener">state-funded facilities</a> may have longer waitlists to get in than private treatment centers. Private facilities, like Desert Hope Treatment Center, employ specialists to help you understand your costs and the payment options available to you. Desert Hope also accepts select Medicaid plans.

Drug & Alcohol Rehab Treatment Centers in Austin, Texas

If you have a loved one preparing to come home from rehab, you may be filled with mixed emotions. Completing rehab is a monumental step, and while you are likely excited and proud of your loved one, you may also be worried about them leaving the safe environment of a rehab facility. You could also be wondering how things will go between the two of you when your loved one is home from rehab. It may take time to adjust to the new schedule with them home again. You may wonder what to say when a loved one comes home from rehab. These are all normal emotions and questions. With the right direction, you can make this transition smoother for them. These 3 tips can help you find the right approach to talking with your loved one after rehab.
<h2>Use Reflective Listening</h2>
Sometimes the best type of talk starts with the right kind of listening. Many people may not take enough time to really hear what the other person is expressing. Sure, you may listen to the words, but what is the sentiment behind the words? What emotions is your loved one expressing? More than anything, they need to be heard and understood. By using the <a href="https://www.maxwell.syr.edu/docs/default-source/ektron-files/reflective-listening-nk.pdf">reflective listening technique</a>, you can help your loved one continue their healing journey.<img class="alignright wp-image-74092 size-medium" src="https://admin.americanaddictioncenters.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/shutterstock_521030740-300x200.jpg" alt="person coming home from rehab opening front door" width="300" height="200" />

Reflective listening involves both listening to the other person and then “reflecting” back on what you thought you heard. The first part, listening, involves hearing their words and looking for cues in their nonverbal communication. Listen and look for the tone of voice, body posture, gestures, and so on when hearing their words. What are they expressing non-verbally?

The second part is to relay back what you think they are saying by what you hear and see. You want to be careful not to be accusatory about your loved one's words or tone, but start by saying, “it sounds like you’re saying …” and “it sounds like you feel…” This allows the other person to know that you are trying to understand their feelings and what they are expressing. It also allows them to correct any misunderstandings about their intended meaning. Finally, reflective listening encourages the person to keep talking and confide in you, which helps the healing process.
<h2>Practice Praising</h2>
Your loved one may be on cloud nine when they first get out of rehab because of their accomplishments, but this could take a swift turn when they return home. So, it’s essential to practice praising the positive things your loved one is doing. Encourage them by acknowledging the steps they have taken, and continue to take, as they continue on their path to sobriety. Even noticing the small things your loved one does will uplift them and keep their minds on a positive trajectory.
<h2>Be Honest but Wise</h2>
As your loved one continues on the recovery path, they may have triggers that cause them to <a href="https://americanaddictioncenters.org/blog/john-mulaney-shows-recovery-takes-work-heres-how-to-handle-a-relapse">relapse</a>. It’s important to be honest about triggering events, places, and emotions. You don’t want your loved one to feel pushed, harassed, or mistrusted. Offering to attend outpatient therapy is an example of being honest about the ongoing need, yet you can do so in a gentle manner. When they come home from rehab, most people will be signed up for outpatient therapy, and many places offer family therapy sessions. This will show your loved one that you are committed to helping them with recovery too.<img class="alignright wp-image-74087 size-medium" src="https://admin.americanaddictioncenters.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/shutterstock_1019208088-300x214.jpg" alt="man home from rehab hugging daughter" width="300" height="214" />

What to Say When a Loved One Comes Home from Rehab

If you are dealing with a substance use issue and considering rehab, you’re on the right path. Taking the step to seek drug or alcohol addiction treatment will help put your life back in order. However, you may have questions about talking to your boss about rehab. It may feel overwhelming to think about approaching this topic with your employer. However, you can take the first step to recovery with the proper strategy.<img class="alignright wp-image-74836 size-medium" src="https://admin.americanaddictioncenters.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/shutterstock_1469701670-300x200.jpg" alt="talking to your boss about rehab" width="300" height="200" />
<h2>What Are Your Rights if You Need to Take Leave for Addiction Treatment?</h2>
According to the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), you may have the right to take a leave of absence due to a substance addiction issue. According to this Act, which was <a href="https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/laws-and-regulations/laws/fmla#:~:text=The%20Family%20and%20Medical%20Leave%20Act%20of%201993%20%7C%20U.S.%20Department%20of%20Labor">passed in 1993</a>, eligible employees can take up to 12 workweeks off in a 12-month period for certain qualifying conditions.<sup>1 </sup>Eligibility requirements include:
<ul>
 	<li>You must have worked for the employer for at least 12 months, which doesn’t need to be consecutive.</li>
 	<li>You must have worked 1,250 hours during the 12 months before leaving.</li>
 	<li>Work at a facility that employs 50 or more employees within 75 miles.</li>
</ul>
To be considered for a qualifying condition, you must have a chronic serious health condition, which addiction is classified as by many medical providers and employers.
<h2>How to Tell Your Boss You're Going to Rehab</h2>
Now that you know your options when it comes to going to rehab, it’s time to talk to your employer. Here are a few tips for talking to your boss about rehab:
<ul>
 	<li>Let your employer know how much your job means to you and that you want to stay in your job <em>and </em>perform well.</li>
 	<li>Tell your boss that you have a medical condition for which you need treatment.</li>
 	<li>You will probably have to be upfront about your condition. Employers may require a medical health certification to verify your condition.</li>
 	<li>Depending on the nature of your relationship with your employer, you could let them know you looked into the FMLA to make sure it was an option before bringing it up. Don’t word it in a pushy way, but let them know that your situation is serious.</li>
 	<li>If your work has slipped lately, you could tell them you are looking forward to getting your performance back to where it had been.</li>
 	<li>If your employer is hesitant about you being gone 24/7 for the full time, be open to getting help on an <a href="https://americanaddictioncenters.org/intensive-outpatient-programs">intensive outpatient treatment</a> Chances are your employer wants you to succeed and is willing to work with you on a flexible schedule if that is a better solution.<img class="alignright wp-image-74838 size-medium" src="https://admin.americanaddictioncenters.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/shutterstock_678522031-300x199.jpg" alt="person leaving work after talking to your boss about rehab" width="300" height="199" /></li>
</ul>
<h2>Transitioning Back Into the Workplace</h2>
Another provision in the FMLA is the return to your previous job position when you get out of rehab. If not returned to the exact job, it must be one that is closely equivalent. As you transition back into the workplace, it’s critical to continue with <a href="https://americanaddictioncenters.org/addiction-treatment-aftercare">aftercare therapy programs</a> to minimize relapsing. Recovery is a lifelong journey, requiring the proper support and treatment.

At <a href="https://americanaddictioncenters.org/">American Addiction Centers</a>, we are here to help you take that first step on the journey to recovery. Get in touch with us today.
