Opioid abuse with intoxication, unspecified

This code signifies a pattern of problematic opioid use characterized by recurrent adverse consequences, coupled with the acute physiological and psychological effects of recent opioid ingestion. The intoxication is not specified as uncomplicated, with delirium, with perceptual disturbance, or with other specified intoxication.

Apply this code when documentation indicates a patient meets criteria for opioid abuse and is currently experiencing symptoms of opioid intoxication, but the specific type of intoxication is not further detailed. This code is appropriate when the provider explicitly diagnoses "opioid abuse with intoxication, unspecified."

• Differentiate from opioid dependence (F11.2-) which implies a more severe pattern of use with tolerance and withdrawal.
• Ensure documentation clearly states both "abuse" and "intoxication" to support this code.
• If the intoxication is specified (e.g., with delirium), a more specific F11.12x code should be used.
