Cocaine withdrawal

Prevention:

Avoid cocaine use. If you have previously used cocaine and wish to stop, try to avoid people, places, and things you associate with the drug. If you find yourself considering the extreme joy produced by cocaine, force yourself to think of the negative consequences that follow use. Seek support if you find it helpful.
