Other psychoactive substance use, unspecified, uncomplicated

This code signifies the use of a psychoactive substance other than alcohol, opioids, cannabis, sedatives, hypnotics, anxiolytics, stimulants, hallucinogens, or nicotine, without specifying the particular substance. It indicates that the patient's use of this unspecified substance is not associated with any withdrawal symptoms, intoxication, or other substance-induced disorders.

Use this code when documentation indicates a patient's use of a psychoactive substance that doesn't fit into a more specific substance category, and there are no documented complications or associated substance use disorders. This code is appropriate when the provider explicitly states "unspecified" or "other psychoactive substance use" without further detail regarding the substance or its effects.

• Only use this code when the specific psychoactive substance cannot be identified or documented.
• Avoid using this code if there are any documented signs of intoxication, withdrawal, or other substance-induced mental health conditions; instead, select a more specific code.
• Always query the provider for more specific substance identification if possible, as this code represents a less specific diagnosis.
