Opioid abuse with opioid-induced psychotic disorder
ICD-10 F11.15 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of opioid abuse with opioid-induced psychotic disorder.
F11.15 refers to a condition characterized by the abuse of opioids, which leads to the development of a psychotic disorder as a direct consequence of opioid use. Opioid abuse is defined as the recurrent use of opioids despite adverse consequences, including social, occupational, or legal problems. The psychotic disorder may manifest as hallucinations, delusions, or disorganized thinking, which are directly attributable to the effects of opioids. This condition is particularly concerning due to the potential for severe impairment in functioning and the risk of harm to oneself or others. Diagnosis requires a thorough assessment, including a detailed history of substance use, mental health evaluation, and consideration of other potential causes of psychosis. Treatment typically involves a combination of pharmacotherapy, such as the use of opioid agonists or antagonists, and psychotherapy, focusing on substance use disorder management and addressing underlying psychological issues.
