Signs of crack cocaine addiction

Crack Cocaine addiction can develop gradually. Common signs include:

  • • Smoking crack cocaine using a pipe, foil, or improvised device
  • • Extremely short-lived but intense highs (5–10 minutes) followed by an immediate crash
  • • Compulsive redosing — using again immediately after the high wears off
  • • Rapid weight loss and neglect of food, hygiene, and housing
  • • Engaging in risky or criminal behaviour to fund crack use
  • • Paranoia and aggression, particularly when "craving"
  • • Burn marks on fingers or lips from crack pipes
  • • Disappearing for days at a time during "crack runs"
