Opioid abuse with intoxication with perceptual disturbance
ICD-10 F11.122 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of opioid abuse with intoxication with perceptual disturbance.
F11.122 refers to a specific diagnosis of opioid abuse characterized by the presence of intoxication and perceptual disturbances. Opioid abuse is a significant public health issue, often leading to addiction, which is defined as a chronic, relapsing disorder characterized by compulsive drug seeking, continued use despite harmful consequences, and long-lasting changes in the brain. Intoxication with opioids can lead to various symptoms, including euphoria, drowsiness, and altered mental status. Perceptual disturbances may manifest as hallucinations or altered sensory perceptions, which can complicate the clinical picture. This diagnosis is crucial for treatment planning, as it indicates the need for immediate intervention to address both the substance use disorder and the acute effects of intoxication. Treatment may involve detoxification, behavioral therapies, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to manage withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings. Understanding the complexities of opioid abuse and its effects on perception is essential for healthcare providers to deliver effective care and support recovery.
