Cocaine — both powder and crack — remains a widely used stimulant in Los Angeles, and cocaine is increasingly contaminated with fentanyl in illicit supply, which drove a sharp increase in stimulant-involved overdose deaths nationally and in LA. LA County overdose deaths fell 22% in 2024 across all categories (LA County DPH), but any stimulant use now carries fentanyl-exposure risk.

Why Cocaine Carries Fentanyl Risk
Fentanyl contamination of cocaine supply has been documented extensively in California and nationally. Users who believe they're using only cocaine are increasingly exposed to fentanyl unintentionally, which drives stimulant-involved overdose deaths. Fentanyl test strips — free from LA County DPH and DHCS — allow users to check supply before use. Any cocaine use in LA in 2026 should be treated as potentially fentanyl-exposed.
How Cocaine Addiction Is Treated
Like methamphetamine, cocaine use disorder has no FDA-approved medication. Behavioral treatments — CBT, contingency management, the Matrix Model — are the foundation. Withdrawal is primarily psychological: severe crash, depression, anhedonia, intense cravings. Residential inpatient provides the structure and clinical support to navigate the hardest window.
Crack vs Powder Cocaine — Clinically the Same
Crack and powder cocaine are pharmacologically similar; the difference is route of administration and speed of onset. Clinical treatment is the same. Licensed inpatient programs we refer to treat both identically from a clinical standpoint.
Dual Diagnosis Common With Cocaine
Cocaine use frequently co-occurs with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Integrated dual-diagnosis treatment — same program, same clinical team, both conditions treated simultaneously — produces better outcomes than sequential treatment. SB 855 requires commercial PPO plans to cover dual-diagnosis care at parity.
