Opioid dependence with opioid-induced psychotic disorder with hallucinations
ICD-10 F11.251 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of opioid dependence with opioid-induced psychotic disorder with hallucinations.
F11.251 refers to a condition characterized by a dependence on opioids, which are substances that act on the nervous system to relieve pain but can lead to addiction. This specific code indicates that the individual is experiencing a psychotic disorder as a direct result of opioid use, manifesting in hallucinations. Hallucinations can involve seeing, hearing, or feeling things that are not present, significantly impacting the individual's perception of reality. Opioid dependence is marked by a compulsive pattern of opioid use, leading to significant impairment or distress. The psychotic disorder may present with symptoms such as delusions, disorganized thinking, and impaired functioning. Treatment typically involves a combination of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings, along with psychotherapy to address the psychological aspects of addiction. Understanding the interplay between opioid dependence and induced psychotic disorders is crucial for effective treatment and management.
