Cocaine and Crack Addiction
Based on the Treatment Episode Data Set
(TEDS), admission rates for primary cocaine treatment decreased nationally by
24% between 1992 and 2002 from133 admissions to 101 admissions per 100,000
persons aged 12 or older.
The number of States with cocaine treatment admission rates of 139 or more per 100,000 persons aged 12 or older decreased from 15 States in 1992 to nine States in 2002.
Between 1992 and 2002, cocaine treatment admissions decreased by 60% or more in five States (Massachusetts, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, and Idaho) and increased 100% or more in four States (Arkansas, Iowa, North Dakota, and Wisconsin).
Inhaling cocaine was the predominant route of cocaine administration for much of the 20th century. In the early 1980s, a potent smokeable form of cocaine known as "crack" was developed.
In 1995, 63% of primary smoked cocaine (crack) were younger than age 35. By 2005, only 32% of primary crack admissions were in this age group.
The proportion of both inhaled and smoked cocaine (crack) admissions who were employed full time decreased between 1995 and 2005.
Cocaine & Crack Rehab
Commonly found drug rehab programs for alcoholism and alcohol addiction include traditional 12-step treatment facilities that run outpatient and inpatient drug treatment, usually up to 30 days. In some cases a detox center may be necessary before entering rehab. Find out why the biophysical drug rehab approach is what we recommend and where the closest one is located.
