Zusammenfassung
The problem of cocaine consumption has been gaining importance in Spain in the last few years. Despite the important research efforts made in the field of pharmacology regarding cocaine abuse and dependence, the reference treatment continues to be psychological. This paper offers a synthesis of the most important aspects of cocaine consumption and treatment from a psychological perspective: prevalence data, factors related to the initiation and maintenance of cocaine consumption, assessment of consumption and other associated problems, and psychological treatments with the greatest scientific support. We conclude that psychological treatment is essential in this problem.
