In fact, cocaine is an illegal substance that is generally used as a stimulant to make you more energized and energized in a short period of time. Unfortunately, cocaine consumption will also cause various unpleasant side effects, threaten your health, and lead to addiction. Although the effects of cocaine will only last for 20-30 minutes, the existence of the substance in your body can last much longer than that. If you want to rid your body of cocaine because you need to take a urine test or simply want to improve your health, the first thing to do is to stop using cocaine completely. After that, be patient to wait while continuing to hydrate the body and adopt a healthy diet. If you wish, you can also apply recovery methods that have not been scientifically tested, although at your own risk.
Step
Method 1 of 2: Cleanse the Body Naturally
Step 1. Immediately stop taking cocaine
If you want to rid your body of cocaine, stop consuming it immediately! For those of you who have just taken cocaine once, the substance will remain in the urine for at least 4-8 hours afterward; however, its presence in your body will still be detected up to 4 days after the first use. Meanwhile, for those of you who use cocaine regularly, its presence in your body will be detected up to one month after the last use. Therefore, the sooner you stop taking cocaine, the faster it will be cleared from your body.
Step 2. Be prepared for a comedown or side effect of sudden drug discontinuation
At this stage, your body will try to balance its energy and mood again. Therefore, you will feel extreme fatigue and even temporary depression (approximately for 2-3 days).
The side effects of stopping cocaine are actually different from withdrawal symptoms, although some conditions interact
Step 3. Be prepared for withdrawal symptoms (cocaine cessation)
If you have been taking cocaine regularly, you are more likely to experience withdrawal symptoms if you try to stop taking it. From a long time ago, convince yourself that you will be able to get through it, and prepare your mentality to experience the following symptoms:
- Craving for something excessively
- Nausea and vomiting
- Paranoid, depression, or anxiety disorders
- Irritability or drastic mood swings
- Itching or as if something is moving under your skin
- Insomnia, hypersomnia, or nightmares that feel real
- Fatigue
Step 4. Follow a detox program
If you frequently consume cocaine or have been using it for a long time, you may need to follow a detox program with medical assistance. There is no drug that can completely rid your body of cocaine, but medical professionals can give you drugs to help you fight withdrawal symptoms. If you need help, try searching online for detox programs available in your area.
- Although it really depends on the frequency and quantity of cocaine use and withdrawal symptoms you experience, detox programs generally last from 3 days to a week. Meanwhile, inpatient rehabilitation programs generally last for 30 days.
- Various hospitals in Jakarta offer drug detoxification programs with costs ranging from 3 million to 11 million rupiah.
Step 5. Patiently wait
There is no single most effective way to rid the body of cocaine and its metabolites (what your body turns it into). Therefore, you will most likely just have to be patient to wait. But the truth is, there are several risk factors that determine how quickly cocaine leaves your body:
- Amount of cocaine consumed: The more servings of cocaine you consume, the longer it will take to remove it from your body.
- Frequency of cocaine use: The more often you take cocaine, the longer it will stay in your body.
- The purity level of cocaine: Pure, unmixed cocaine can last longer in your body.
- Your alcohol consumption: Alcohol will slow down the process of releasing cocaine and keep the substance in your body longer.
- Your liver and kidney health. If you have liver or kidney problems, chances are your body won't be able to work effectively to clear cocaine completely.
- Your weight: In fact, cocaine will last longer in the body of people who are overweight.
Method 2 of 2: Speeding Up the Detoxification Process
Step 1. Consume as much water as possible
Make sure your body is getting enough fluids! Although you can also consume tea or juice, you should try to always drink water. Doing so is effective in speeding up the process of removing cocaine metabolites from your system. However, understand that the effects are not permanent so you should continue to hydrate yourself as long as the cocaine remains in your body.
Step 2. Exercise
If you are generally an active and healthy person, ideally your body can flush out toxins faster than someone who is overweight or has a low activity level. Therefore, make sure you exercise every day while trying to rid your system of cocaine. Also do aerobic exercise to pump blood to the heart such as swimming, running, cycling, or playing basketball and soccer.
Step 3. Eat healthy foods
Make sure you always eat fruits and vegetables to cleanse toxins from the body. In addition, a nutritionally balanced diet will also increase your metabolism, and may help speed up the clearance of cocaine from your system.
Step 4. Don't drink alcohol
Stop drinking alcohol while you're in the process of ridding your body of cocaine. Consuming alcohol has the potential to slow down the process of removing toxins (including cocaine) from your body.
Step 5. Take zinc supplements
Sometimes, zinc is categorized as a powerful mineral that helps the body cleanse its own system. However, understand that its benefits to rid the body of cocaine have not been scientifically proven. Beforehand, make sure you consult the doctor's wishes. If your doctor thinks zinc supplements are safe for you to take, try taking one supplement per day at the recommended dose (8 mg for adult women and 11 mg for adult men).
Do not take supplements beyond the recommended dose to speed up the cleansing process of your system. Be careful, if too much is consumed, zinc can actually turn into a poison that can make you nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and headaches
Step 6. Purchase a poison neutralizing product at an online store
Many online stores sell pills, powders, and drinks that vendors say can rid your body of cocaine, either permanently or temporarily, to pass drug tests. Although most of the sellers claim their products are natural medicines, the truth is still doubtful if the product in question does not have a distribution permit from BPOM. In fact, most of the products sold on the internet are not proven to remove cocaine from your system even though they are sold at very high prices. If you persist in buying it, please bear it at your own risk.
Be aware that the products you are taking may cause side effects when interacting with other medicines or medical conditions you are currently having. Therefore, you should not buy products on the internet that have not been tested for their benefits
Tips
Be wary of herbal remedies and/or online products that claim to hide cocaine from your system when you need to be tested for illegal drugs. Most of the products sold in the market have proven to have no effect
