Regular use can quickly lead to a substance use disorder. Cocaine causes a sense of pleasure and euphoria in key parts of the brain, which initiates a reward cycle that promotes ongoing use of the drug. Over time, tolerance develops as the brain compensates, and other long-term changes in the brain ultimately lead to addiction. Professional support and treatment are needed for anyone who wants to stop using cocaine.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><\/section><p>Cocaine is an illicit and highly addictive drug.

This occurs because cocaine goes rapidly to the brain where it blocks the uptake of a neurotransmitter called dopamine. The result is that levels of the so-called pleasure chemical remain high, leading to the sense of euphoria.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>When someone uses cocaine and experiences that high, it acts like a reward that pushes the person to engage in the behavior again. The use of dopamine to explain why cocaine is addictive is important but also simplified. There are many other factors that contribute to the habit-forming nature of this drug. For instance, dopamine is affected throughout the brain but especially in an area called the limbic system.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The limbic system is involved in regulating emotions and connecting them to memories, a potent combination for repeating pleasurable behaviors like cocaine use. It is also involved in basic survival instincts and urges. Stimulating this part of the brain can lead to the impulsive desire to keep using the drug to get the pleasure sensation.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><\/section>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b25bf0e e-con-full animated-slow e-flex elementor-invisible e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b25bf0e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4065ed5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4065ed5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Tolerance with Continued Cocaine Use<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f39bbc2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f39bbc2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"content-block nitro-offscreen\"><div class=\"padding-top-content\"><div class=\"section-content\"><p>The brain attempts to adapt to the changes that cocaine causes, including adjusting dopamine levels.

This indicates that the brain changes caused by cocaine last a very long time, the equivalent of at least four years in humans.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/science\/2011\/jun\/21\/cocaine-addiction-linked-brain-abnormalities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Scans of the brains of heavy cocaine users<\/span><\/a>\u00a0have found significant abnormalities compared to those of people who never used the drug.

When combined with substance use disorders, this creates a dual diagnosis condition where factitious disorder and addiction treatment must be addressed together. Depressive disorders are also extremely common among men and women with factitious disorders, with frequent bouts of major depression reported.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>While their lists of risk factors are not identical, factitious disorders, personality disorders, and depressive disorders all have deep roots in abuse or neglect experienced during childhood. Such experiences are also predictors for substance use disorders in adulthood, and research has revealed that substance abuse co-occurs with factitious disorder more frequently when personality disorders and depressive disorders are also present.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cfc5a46 e-con-full animated-slow e-flex elementor-invisible e-con e-child\" data-id=\"cfc5a46\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a941f0c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a941f0c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Factitious Disorder and Drug Addiction Prognosis<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cb5d55f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cb5d55f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"container lazyloaded\"><div class=\"row mobile-off\"><div class=\"content-block-wrapper col-lg-9 col-md-12 col-xs-12 ignore-padding\"><section class=\"content-block nitro-offscreen\"><div class=\"padding-top-content\"><div class=\"section-content\"><p>When allowed to continue without acknowledgement or intervention, factitious disorders will only worsen over time, until real and lasting damage is inevitable.
