While drugs like heroin and other opioids are depressants that serve to slow the natural function of the body\u2019s nervous system, stimulants increase these functions.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes called \u201cuppers,\u201d stimulant drugs can induce a marked increase in energy, mental alertness, a sense of wellbeing, sexual arousal, disinhibition, confidence, and increased impulsivity. These drugs can be smoked, snorted, injected intravenously, or orally ingested.<\/p>\n<p>Both drugs work to create these effects by inhibiting the body\u2019s ability to break down one of the brain\u2019s feel-good chemicals, dopamine, thereby increasing dopamine levels. It is important to note that with the use of both drugs, this increase is temporary and this short-lived elevation in mood is usually followed by a period of agitated dysphoria.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than returning to their previous level of arousal, the user\u2019s mood plummets in what is commonly referred to as \u201cthe crash.\u201d In spite of these similarities though, there are a few key differences between meth and cocaine.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cocaine_vs_Meth_The_Key_Differences\"><\/span>Cocaine vs Meth: The Key Differences<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The key differences between the two substances are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Source:<\/b> One of the most essential differences between cocaine and meth is the source of each drug. <a href=\"https:\/\/newjerseyaddictioninterventions.com\/meth-addiction-signs-symptoms-and-treatment\/\">Meth<\/a> is a synthetic substance lab-made using a variety of chemicals. <a href=\"https:\/\/newjerseyaddictioninterventions.com\/cocaine-addiction-treatment\/\">Cocaine<\/a>, on the other hand, is a naturally derived drug made from the cocoa plant.<\/li>\n<li><b>Drug Classification:<\/b> While both are psychostimulants, meth is an amphetamine. This class includes a variety of man-made drugs with a similar psychoactive effect. Cocaine, however, is not classified as an amphetamine, and it also can have medical use as a topical anesthetic that can be used to numb accessible mucous membranes.<\/li>\n<li><b>Half-Life:<\/b> Another noteworthy difference is how long it takes each drug to metabolize in the users\u2019 system. Cocaine is metabolized very rapidly. Within an hour, <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/11043648\/\">50% of the dose<\/a> has been eliminated from the body. While a dose of meth can take upwards of <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/j.1360-0443.2009.02564.x\">10-12 hours<\/a> to fully work its way out of the system.<\/li>\n<li><b>Physical appearance:<\/b> An easy way to differentiate between cocaine and meth is their actual appearance. Cocaine is a fine white powder that can sometimes be stuck together in a large ball that needs to be broken up. Meth, however, comes in a number of forms varying from a glassy crystal, white powder, or even a yellow-brown liquid.<\/li>\n<li><b>Mental and physical effects: <\/b>Though, as discussed, the highs are similar as both are stimulant drugs even the effects each drug has on the body vary greatly. While both drugs can induce paranoia, hallucinations, and psychosis with long-term use, research suggests that violent behavior occurs more commonly in those who abuse meth than cocaine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Additionally, meth causes damage to the neurotransmitters that create dopamine and serotonin. By inhibiting the natural ability of neurons to perform their regular job, meth qualifies itself as a neurotoxin which distinguishes it from cocaine which has no neurotoxic effect as it only blocks the reuptake of dopamine rather than acting on the transmitters directly to create more.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cocaine_and_Meth_Pose_A_Real_Threat_to_The_Health_of_Users\"><\/span>Cocaine and Meth Pose A Real Threat to The Health of Users<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In spite of their differences, both cocaine and meth are addictive substances that pose very real threats to the long-term health of those who abuse either drug. Psychosis, overdose, permanent damage to the brain, and an increased risk of contracting HIV\/AIDS because of increased sexual risk-taking are all possible side effects of the abuse of both cocaine and meth.<\/p>\n<p>Whether someone is addicted to cocaine or meth, it\u2019s important to address the issue head-on and get free from the life-ruining disease of addiction as soon as possible. Methamphetamine-related deaths tripled between<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aha.org\/news\/headline\/2021-09-23-methamphetamine-related-overdose-deaths-nearly-triple-over-4-years\"> 2015 and 2019<\/a>, and<a href=\"https:\/\/nida.nih.gov\/drug-topics\/trends-statistics\/overdose-death-rates\"> overdose rates in the US reached an 11-year high in 2020<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Quitting cocaine or meth can be incredibly challenging, but continued use could cost those who are addicted their friends, families, careers, or even their lives.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Find_Treatment_for_Stimulant_Addiction_in_New_Jersey\"><\/span>Find Treatment for Stimulant Addiction in New Jersey<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The safest way to detox is in the care of a reputable, fully staffed rehabilitation center.
