Cocaine can quickly become part of work, nightlife, performance or escaping tension. What begins as occasional use can develop into a pattern in which craving, loss of control and recovery after use increasingly take over.
Peggy-Sue looks at the person behind the drug use. Not only how much or how often someone uses, but above all why cocaine has become necessary and what is needed to leave it behind honestly.
Common signs include intense cravings, lying about use, money problems, mood swings, poor sleep and difficulty keeping commitments.
Even during periods when someone does not use, an obsession with the next opportunity or the aftermath of use can continue to dominate daily life.
Cocaine is often used to feel more energetic, confident or in control. Beneath that exterior may lie stress, insecurity, trauma or low mood.
Recovery is therefore about more than stopping a drug. It requires support with the patterns and feelings that repeatedly draw someone back to use.
Peggy-Sue provides a personal approach centred on safety, honesty and clear steps.
Together, we consider what help is appropriate, how to reduce the risk of relapse and how loved ones can be involved in a helpful way.
Are you concerned about your own use or that of someone close to you? Contact Peggy-Sue.
An honest conversation can be the first step towards appropriate help and recovery.
Together, we consider appropriate help: outpatient treatment, residential treatment, detox, intervention or family support. The pathway is tailored to the situation and its urgency.
"I had to choose between two evils. It was either call Peggy-Sue or choose my illness. The support gave me direction again."
