Can You Quit Cocaine And Still Drink?

Quitting cocaine and continuing to drink can be a challenging combination, as alcohol use can increase the risk of cocaine relapse. Alcohol and cocaine can have additive effects on the brain’s reward system, making it difficult to resist the urge to use cocaine again. Additionally, the use of alcohol during cocaine withdrawal can worsen withdrawal symptoms and increase the risk of complications such as seizures or other medical emergencies.

It is important to note that alcohol and drug use can be complex issues that may require professional treatment and support to address effectively. It is always best to seek the guidance of a medical or addiction professional when making decisions about substance use and recovery.
