What is Cocaine Addiction?

What starts as seemingly harmless curiosity to cocaine can become a life-threatening dependency with damaging mental, educational, financial, and relational consequences.
Cocaine is a dangerously addictive drug that increases overall alertness, concentration, and energy levels.
