Oth psychoactive substance abuse w intoxication, uncomp

This code signifies a pattern of problematic use of a psychoactive substance (other than alcohol, opioids, cannabis, sedatives, hypnotics, anxiolytics, cocaine, or stimulants) leading to clinically significant impairment or distress, accompanied by acute intoxication without further complications. The patient exhibits signs and symptoms of being under the influence of the substance.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates abuse of an unspecified psychoactive substance, and the patient is currently experiencing acute intoxication. This is appropriate when the specific substance cannot be identified or is not one of the more specific categories. Documentation should describe signs of intoxication (e.g., impaired judgment, mood changes, slurred speech) and a pattern of problematic use.

• Do not use if the specific psychoactive substance is known and has a more precise code (e.g., F13.120 for sedative abuse with intoxication).
• Ensure documentation differentiates between abuse (problematic pattern of use) and dependence (physiological or psychological reliance).
• Sequence this code as a primary diagnosis when the intoxication is the primary reason for the encounter, or as a secondary diagnosis when it's a co-occurring condition.
