Why Is Crack / Cocaine Abuse Not Responding Well To Traditional Medical / 12 Step Treatment?

Most drugs of abuse, especially pharmaceutically abused drugs, don't immediately leave the body, even after several days. Drug residues stay trapped in the body fat, organs, brain, nerve tissue and bones for years. The body keeps a record of the drug so it knows how to process it in the future. But drugs are mostly fat soluble, meaning they have fatty composition in them.

Important Note: Doctors / detox specialists have been trained to believe cocaine leaves the body is several days, so argue with abusers and tell them they don't need a thorough bio-physical detox. Even when cocaine abusers complain of physical and mental cravings for years in therapy, doctors oppose them getting proper detoxification from these drug residues.

Opium resign and marijuana are very oily. Cocaine is generally processed with gasoline, Pharmaceutical drugs are especially designed to knock out the body's capacity or mechanisms that work to discard the drugs and flush them out. Drug residues get stuck in the body fat, including brain tissue, for years.

Traditional treatment misses out on achieving success because they don't know how to detoxify the body of these drug residuals.

Therefore the first step to understanding how to overcome crack / cocaine abuse or addiction is to understand that it doesn't leave the body / brain after 3 days. Drug abusers will tell you they crave drugs for months and years after they quit. Maybe they're cravings aren't just in their minds, maybe the drugs never left their head!
