What is Cocaine Addiction?
Cocaine use is often glorified in movies as a drug that produces a euphoric high and facilitates a fabulous party-like atmosphere in lifestyle. The reality is much darker and the effects of prolonged cocaine use and addiction can be catastrophic. Addiction is identified as when a person relies on a substance or behavior so much that it affects their ability to live and operate in a normal fashion. In addition to wreaking havoc on your home, school, working, and personal life, cocaine addiction can do horrific and sometimes irreversible physical damage:
- Narrowed blood vessels
- Increased body temperature
- Abnormal heart rate and blood pressure
- Headaches
- Abdominal pain
- False euphoria
- Insomnia and restlessness
- Erratic and/or violent behavior
- Panic attacks
- Anxiety and paranoia
- Psychosis
- Seizures
- Heart attack
- Loss of sense of smell
- Nose bleeds and nasal damage
- Infection or death of bowel tissue
- Malnutrition
- Birth defects (in pregnant women)
- Coma
- Death, especially when used in conjuction with alcohol

What Kind of Treatment Will My APS Healthcare Cocaine Treatment Coverage Include?
Part of our mission at The Fix is to help addicts and their loved ones find an addiction recovery center that is included in their insurance plan and also fits their geographical, emotional, physical, and other personal needs. There are many options you can consider when entering treatment, including both inpatient and outpatient programs or a combination thereof, support groups, family and individual counseling, medically supervised detox, and more. Ultimately your coverage depends on your particular APS Healthcare plan, so examining those benefits and talking with your provider regarding pre-authorization prior to admittance is strongly recommended.
How Much Will All This Cost?
How much is your sobriety worth? Some plans will cover 100 percent of your recovery, while other types of APS Healthcare cocaine treatment coverage will leave you with some out-of-pocket expenses. There are options in place for obtaining secondary healthcare insurance coverage or taking advantage of a payment plan. Whatever you decide, your financial burden is nothing in comparison to the burden you carry as a cocaine addict.
