Another unique manifestation of cocaine abuse is that addicts often suffer from paranoia and delusional thinking. This usually happens after massive amounts of the drug have been ingested, or if the addict has gone for several days abusing cocaine without a break.

A common misconception among first time cocaine users is that cocaine is not addictive. While it may not be as physically addictive as alcohol or heroin, cocaine does cause pretty severe withdrawal symptoms in an individual. For the most part, the hardest part of coming off of cocaine are the extreme cravings that an addict will feel. Cravings are what causes an individual to steal, committ acts of violence and lie. This is all done in an attempt to obtaine more cocaine.

One of the best ways to tell if your loved one is addicted to cocaine is by taking note of some of the things around the addict. Cocaine is a type of drug that requires several different utensils in order to ingest it. Some of the paraphrenelia that one may be able to spot are: spoons, syringes, small plastic baggies with white residue, mirrors and razor blades, rolled up money, glass pipe (this is used for smoking crack cocaine) and straws.
