International Drug Treatment Facilities: Treating Addiction and Abuse
Cocaine is an insidious and highly addictive stimulant drug that directly affects the brain. Cocaine is nothing new, and has been used for thousands of years. With an extreme potential for abuse, cocaine is generally taken in liquid form through a vein or sniffed into the nose as a powder. Cocaine in its “freebase” form can also be smoked. In addition to being highly toxic and destructive to brain cells and body function, cocaine, when sold on the streets, is mixed with ingredients such as sugar, cornstarch, talcum powder, and other drugs that may cause devastating effects, stroke, heart attack, and death.
In the United States, treatment of cocaine addiction can range from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars. Medical insurance does not cover the cost of drug addiction treatment plans, which may range in duration from weeks to months to years, depending on the individual. However, individuals seeking drug addiction treatment at international rehab and drug addiction treatment facilities around the world find affordable, private and effective treatments at enormous cost savings, even after the cost of transportation is considered.
Facilities such as Dr. Vorobiev and the Russian Rehab Clinic offer revolutionary and effective techniques in the treatment of many forms of addiction, including cocaine, heroin, alcohol, marijuana and prescription drugs. Combining the fields of psychology, psychiatry, natural therapies, proven detoxification techniques, international drug treatment facilities offer hope and a future for those suffering from drug or alcohol addiction and abuse.
