Help for Teen Cocaine Use
Cocaine use can create serious health risks and affect a teen’s mood, relationships and daily functioning. If you are concerned, assessment can identify medical needs, substance use patterns and co-occurring mental health concerns.
Artemis works with adolescents ages 12–17. Talk with your teen calmly and share what you have noticed without assuming that every change in behavior is caused by cocaine.

Understanding Cocaine Use and Its Impact
Cocaine can be difficult to stop using and can cause serious health problems. A teen does not need to reach a particular stage before the family asks for help.
Assessment considers use patterns, daily impact and co-occurring needs rather than assuming a fixed progression.
Why Teens Engage in Cocaine and Other Drug Use
Curiosity, social pressure, stress or attempts to cope with distress may be relevant to a teen’s substance use. Experiences differ.
Ask open questions and share concerns calmly. A clinical assessment can explore substance use and mental health together.
What are the Signs of Teenage Cocaine Abuse?
Changes in sleep, appetite, weight, mood or participation may be reasons for concern. Nosebleeds or nasal irritation can also be relevant when discussing possible cocaine use.
These changes can have other explanations. Share concrete observations and the teen’s perspective with a qualified professional.
Recognize a Medical Emergency
Call 911 for suspected overdose, chest pain, seizures, severe overheating, trouble breathing or unresponsiveness. Cocaine can cause life-threatening emergencies. CDC explains stimulant overdose.
Illicit cocaine can contain fentanyl. If opioid overdose is suspected, give naloxone if available while emergency help is on the way. CDC explains fentanyl and overdose response.
