Cocaine
In Switzerland, cocaine is used in a variety of social settings: to enhance performance at work, to get the most out of parties or in combination with other substances. It makes you more communicative, more daring and has a stimulating effect. What makes it dangerous is its high risk for dependence, the strain it puts on the cardiovascular system, the nerve damage it causes and the adulterants that are inevitably consumed as well.
First the euphoria, then the crash. The comedown from cocaine can be particularly harsh: withdrawal symptoms such as exhaustion, fatigue, general moodiness, even depression, loss of libido or a strong desire to sleep take over. To escape these symptoms, many resort to taking more cocaine, creating a vicious circle.
Professional help is advisable if you are finding it difficult to control or curb your cocaine use. We will help you develop new behaviour patterns in order to change or give up your old consumption habits.
You will be accompanied respectfully and with an open mind towards a better quality of life and better health by our therapists and physicians. Treatment will be individually tailored to your needs.
