Other stimulant abuse with intoxication, unspecified

This code signifies a pattern of harmful use of a stimulant substance, other than cocaine or methamphetamine, leading to acute intoxication. The patient exhibits physiological and/or psychological symptoms characteristic of stimulant intoxication, but the specific stimulant is not documented.

Apply this code when a patient presents with symptoms of stimulant intoxication, and the medical record clearly indicates abuse of a stimulant substance, but the exact stimulant (e.g., amphetamine, MDMA, cathinone) is not specified. Documentation should support both the abuse pattern and the presence of intoxication.

• Ensure documentation differentiates between stimulant abuse and dependence; this code is for abuse.
• If the specific stimulant is known, a more precise code from the F15.12- subcategory should be used.
• Always sequence this code after any acute medical conditions directly caused by the intoxication.
