Cocaine is one of the most romanticised drugs in society worldwide. Movies, songs, sportspeople, famous people, business people and the extraordinary euphoria it cultivates make it one of the most addictive substances in the world. 

Cocaine floods the brain with dopamine, leading to confidence, pleasure, and feelings of extreme euphoria (also known as the scarface effect). As a result of this pleasure and because cocaine is one of the quickest substance to flush out of peoples’ systems, cocaine becomes the drug of choice for functional users. However, long-term cocaine use can lead to a range of physical and mental health issues, including psychosis, paranoia, and complete inability to function without the drug.

Connection Based Living understands, based on the clients that we treat, just how pervasive cocaine addiction can be. 

We help people with cocaine addictive patterns transform out of those cycles through our cocaine addiction treatment (rehab without rehab) program…Growth Healing. 

Addressing cocaine addiction isn’t a life sentence. Despite the normal industry narrative that this is going to be something extremely challenging to overcome and something you will battle for the rest of your life… it’s just not true, We would love to chat to you about our different approach and how you can make these simple changes…

Ice or crystal methamphetamine is one of the most powerful and most addictive drugs on the market. 

Ice is also one of the most misrepresented drugs in the media. People who use Ice are painted as these almost demon-like characters that are just smashing things and bashing people 24/7. 

Actually couldn’t be further from the truth and what we know is that loads of different people use Ice and the stereotype doesn’t meet the reality. 

Jack Nagle, Connection Based Living’s Founder, has personally recovered from Ice addiction and professionally has been published in academic journals for research of Ice.

Many other providers will tell you that they specialise in Ice addiction…however, for the reasons above, Connection Based Living truly specialise in helping people breaking addictive patterns around Ice.

Unlike the society narrative may have you believe, breaking addictive patterns around Ice isn’t as hard as you think.

Ecstasy or MDMA is the typical drug taken at most clubs around the country (everyone loves a good disco biscuit or a couple of happy caps).

Loads and loads of people have done ecstasy once upon a time and are commonly not seen as an addictive drug. Many people, if not most, don’t become addicted to MDMA… 

However, some do because like with all substances, it’s not really about the particular drug, it’s about your relationship to the substance and the underlying conscious or unconscious reasons why you are using the drug.

Due to its recreational appeal, ecstasy encourages polydrug use, and we often see people with “binge” addictive patterns that present for help. Because this is actually one of the most dangerous ways to use drugs and if you find yourself falling into this category, we would recommend that you get in touch with us for a free consultation.

To make change is not as hard as you think.

Heroin comes from the opium poppy plant and is probably the most famous and well know opiate drug in the world. 

Heroin has a reputation because it’s one of the most addictive drugs in the world. While heroin can contribute to feelings of euphoria and pain relief in the short term, it comes with a range of very harmful effects, including infertility, damage to the heart, lungs, and brain, with a high potential for death due to overdose.

We treat opiate addiction differently at Connection Based Living. Unlike most other providers who don’t consider you clean or in recovery if you are on replacement medication…we do. 

Recovery is about growth, healing and happiness – so if you are engaging that, you are in recovery and we will help you continue that journey.

Marijuana has become a challenging substance to identify addictive patterns with, due to its socially acceptable standing in the community.

Yes, Joe Rogan and loads of other cool people smoke weed; however, if Marijuana is starting to cause issues in your life. Above all, its time to be honest with yourself.

One of the critical things to remember with Marijuana is that the stuff you are smoking isn’t coming from the earth, it’s usually grown with chemicals and weighed down with fly spray…, YUM fly spray.

Mostly, we think Marijuana is a better thing as compared to alcohol. However, for the individual that struggles with addictive patterns, it can be terrible news because of the psychoactive nature of the drug and the fact that the detox takes longer than other drugs. 

If you are having issues with Marijuana, we would love to have a chat to see how we can help break those negative patterns.
