Oth psychoactive substance use, unsp w withdrawal, uncomp

This code signifies a patient's current or recent use of a psychoactive substance (other than alcohol, opioids, cannabis, sedatives, hypnotics, anxiolytics, cocaine, or stimulants) that has led to withdrawal symptoms. The withdrawal is considered uncomplicated, meaning there are no associated perceptual disturbances, delirium, or seizures.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates withdrawal from an unspecified psychoactive substance without any further specified complications. This is appropriate when the specific substance used is not identified, but the presence of withdrawal symptoms is noted. Supporting documentation would include a physician's assessment of withdrawal symptoms and a lack of detail regarding the specific substance or any severe complications.

• Do not use this code if the specific psychoactive substance is known; instead, use the more specific code for that substance with withdrawal.
• Ensure documentation explicitly states "uncomplicated" or lacks mention of delirium, perceptual disturbances, or seizures during withdrawal.
• Consider sequencing this code after any acute conditions or injuries that may have led to the presentation, if applicable.
