Other psychoactive substance abuse with withdrawal, uncomp

This code signifies a pattern of harmful use of a psychoactive substance (excluding alcohol, opioids, cannabis, sedatives/hypnotics, cocaine, and stimulants) that results in withdrawal symptoms, but without further complications such as delirium, seizures, or perceptual disturbances. The patient experiences physiological and psychological distress upon cessation or reduction of the substance.

Apply this code when a patient presents with documented withdrawal symptoms from a psychoactive substance not specified by a more granular code, and the withdrawal is not complicated by other conditions. Documentation should clearly state the substance type (e.g., hallucinogen, inhalant, or other unspecified psychoactive substance) and the presence of withdrawal symptoms without further complications.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "uncomplicated" withdrawal; otherwise, a more specific code for complicated withdrawal should be used.
• This code is for substances other than those with dedicated abuse codes (e.g., F10-F16, F18).
• Always sequence this code after any acute intoxication code if both are present and clinically relevant.
