Orange County, CA – Pacific Sands Recovery Center, a leading addiction treatment center, provides in-depth information on cocaine psychosis, a severe mental health condition that can cause hallucinations, delusions, and paranoia.
Cocaine psychosis is a dangerous and potentially long-lasting side effect of cocaine use. According to reports, between 50 and 75% of people who take cocaine will experience psychotic symptoms, which in some cases persist even after use stops. The center emphasizes the urgency of early intervention to prevent these symptoms from progressing into a chronic mental health condition. Left untreated, cocaine psychosis can severely impair an individual’s ability to function, often leading to hospitalization, long-term psychiatric care, and a significant decline in quality of life. The center urges individuals, families, and healthcare providers to recognize early warning signs.
A recent blog post on the Pacific Sands website states, “Cocaine psychosis can last from a few hours to a few days after you last took cocaine. Retaking cocaine will increase the chances that it continues longer. If someone is going through cocaine withdrawal, psychosis might last longer. This is because, during cocaine withdrawal, symptoms like paranoia are possible. Suppose you were already experiencing this before withdrawing from the substance. In that case, it might result in those symptoms continuing until it has naturally been removed from your body.”
Symptoms of cocaine-induced psychosis include hallucinations, intense paranoia, and delusions. These can emerge after short or long-term use and are influenced by dosage, frequency, and a person’s mental health history. In more severe cases, an individual may develop what is known as cocaine-induced psychotic disorder (CIPD).
“During cocaine use disorder treatment, you will work with mental health specialists who will guarantee that you remain safe and comfortable and have the tools necessary to accomplish your recovery goals. If you experience psychosis while in treatment, your care providers will ensure your stabilization and clarity. Cocaine and cocaine-induced psychosis can result in several consequences to your health, career, family, and other areas of your life. Seeking individualized treatment with your needs in mind will empower you to maintain clarity while boosting your capacity to live the life you have always wanted,” the blog continues.
Treatment for cocaine psychosis typically involves medically supervised detox, psychiatric evaluation, and a combination of medication and therapy.
