First of all, you need to go to a licensed detox and rehabilitation center. The most important part will be to get all of the coke out of your system, and began treatment with a clean mind and body. For some people, this will seem like the hardest part. People who use every single day are accustomed to keeping a certain amount of cocaine in their body, and when the level drops below that, they have acute withdrawal symptoms and need medical help in dealing with them. However, this is not by far the hardest part.
Why Isn’t Tobacco/nicotine Considered a Hard Drug?
Question by Saruman….: Why isn’t tobacco/nicotine considered a hard drug?
Many people drink alcohol on occasion (infrequently), without being addicted to it, or even having it on a regular basis.
However, you almost never hear of somebody who “smokes cigarettes on occasion”. People are either smokers or not. Nicotine is so addictive that even a few cigarettes can cause addiction, and, unlike alcohol, it’s extremely rare for somebody to use tobacco on occasion without being addicted to it.
Despite the fact that alcohol has some of the worst withdrawal symptoms of any drug, and heavy drinking has horrible health effects to the body, due to the fact that most people can use alcohol without developing an addiction to it, it’s considered more of a “soft drug”, not a hard drug.
However, most people why try out cigarettes become addicted to it. Because most people why try out cigarettes get addicted to it, shouldn’t nicotine technically be considered a hard drug?

Why Are Medications Needed for Substance Abuse Treatment?
Question by alliyah ld: Why are medications needed for substance abuse treatment?
I’ve always thought that drug or alcohol addiction was a problem that involves the brain. I thought it would be ok for the person to just stop taking the substance and then go through counseling and therapy sessions. I have only just learned that they are made to take medicines as well. Why is this so?
Best answer:
Answer by cali r
People who are going through substance abuse addiction need medications because these help restore their brain and body functioning back to normal. It keeps the symptoms of withdrawal at bay and reduces the person’s craving for the substance. Coupled with therapy and counseling, medications can be very effective in helping an addict on his way to recovery.
Answer by rhsaunders
The withdrawal symptoms can be horrendous unless medication is used to alleviate them.
