Crack cocaine is a chemically changed type of cocaine which separates or “frees” the base (non acidic) molecules away from the acidic molecules in cocaine. Thus the word “freebase” refers to the heating process which uses an agent like bicarbonate soda to separate the molecules. This process lowers the melting point  so makes it doable to smoke it - if not it would just burn to a black char before any smoke was released. The name “crack” comes from  the noise it makes when it is smoked.

Crack cocaine is probably the most instantly addictive drug on the black market, because of the immediate and overwhelming artificial euphoria - which alters the brain chemistry so devastatingly that it is said that nearly 100% of crack addicts will go back to if this chemical alteration is not corrected in the treatment procedure. Ask your consultant   concerning the best rehab procedure for crack addiction, as some have better results than others.

Crack Cocaine detox
Crack Cocaine detox is normally done within most private drug rehab centers. A lot of government funded treatments will ask the individual in need to go to a detox prior to  enter the rehab center The motive for this is the facility does not have the proper staff to get somebody through detox. The withdrawal symptoms of crack cocaine will remain for 3 to 6 days. The addict will frequently sleep the whole day  and just wake up to eat and drink. The reason for this is crack cocaine abusers will often use the drug for a long consecutive period of time like days and even more than a week. This is called a binge user. So they "crash" when they are not on the effect of the drug.

It is good to supply the individual withdrawing with good nutrients, vitamins and minerals. When  person is on the drug, his nutrition habits are very bad as they do not eat. The drug effects numbs his appetite. When the individual withdraw from crack cocaine, it gives the oppurtinity for  his liver and kidneys to clean the blood from the drug's toxins. The optimum way to detox from crack cocaine is to do it in a safe controlled environment with withdrawal expert staff.
