Addiction is a disease that thrives on secrets. This is why substance abusers use slang or street names for drugs. By using these code words, addicts conceal drug use from unsuspecting family members and friends. 

And right now, once of the biggest drug threats facing this country is cocaine, currently the third-most-abused drug. Cultivation, production, purity, and availability are all up, while prices are down.

The challenge for concerned loved ones is to familiarize themselves with this drug lingo, so they can be aware of the problem that much faster.

Southern California in general and Orange County in particular face greater challenges because of the proximity to the border. This is relevant, because 95% of the cocaine in the United States is brought in by Mexican drug cartels.

To help, we provide this extensive list of slang or street names for cocaine. Bookmark this page and refer to it often. If you hear a friend or family member using these terms, it may mean they are using cocaine.

And if you need help, contact Chapman House Treatment Centers, the top drug treatment program in Orange County since 1978.
