Assessment and intervention of cocaine addiction is still an evolving science. There do exist pioneering efforts that allow for the appropriate assessment of this disease. As with other chemical addictions relapse remains a crucial treatment issue. Paramount to the treatment of cocaine addiction are the issues of early intervention and the management of drug hunger or "craving." The ability of health care professionals assisted by the legal profession, industry, and others to intervene early in the disease progression is critical. Early intervention yields a less guarded treatment prognosis. Accurate assessment of medical, behavioral, and psychosocial variables is crucial. Medical science has used existing strategies and new regimens to assist in the management of cocaine "craving." These strategies alone will not be effective without the time-tested delivery of rehabilitative services synergistically applied with self-help programs.
可卡因成瘾的评估与干预仍是一门不断发展的科学。确实存在一些开拓性的努力，能够对这种疾病进行恰当评估。与其他化学物质成瘾一样，复发仍然是一个关键的治疗问题。可卡因成瘾治疗的首要问题是早期干预以及对药物渴望或“渴求”的管理。在法律行业、企业及其他各方的协助下，医疗保健专业人员在疾病进展早期进行干预的能力至关重要。早期干预会带来预后更好的治疗效果。准确评估医学、行为和心理社会变量至关重要。医学已经采用现有策略和新方案来协助管理对可卡因的“渴求”。如果没有经过时间检验的康复服务与自助项目协同提供，仅这些策略是不会有效的。
