COCAINE REHAB
Cocaine is a Popular Party Drug but Use Can Still Result in Disaster

Cocaine is Bad for One’s Heart – in More Ways than One
Cocaine can also accelerate the buildup of plaque inside the arteries, leading to atherosclerosis. Direct damage to some types of heart muscle cells can lead to cardiomyopathy, where the heart becomes abnormally enlarged, thickened or stiffened, leading to less efficiency.
While Crack Cocaine Initiates Have Dropped, this Drug is Still Ruining Lives
Between the mid-1980s and 2002, hundreds of thousands of Americans started using crack cocaine each year. This number finally began to decline and by 2010, fewer than 100,000 people were starting to use crack cocaine each year.
