Description
Four researchers sort daily cocaine use into patterns in a 2026 paper. Cocaine brings health risks and hard treatment choices, and day by day habits vary a lot. The team used a recall method that walks people back through the past fifteen days of use.
The study held 109 people who use cocaine but were not in treatment, most of them men. Three patterns came out: use that swings a lot, rare use, and steady use on most days. The steady group used more per day and felt stronger craving. Income also split the groups, with steady users earning more than rare users on average.
