Opioid use, unspecified with opioid-induced psychotic disorder with delusions
ICD-10 F11.950 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of opioid use, unspecified with opioid-induced psychotic disorder with delusions.
F11.950 refers to a condition characterized by the use of opioids, which are substances that can lead to addiction and various health complications. This specific code indicates that the individual is experiencing an opioid-induced psychotic disorder, which manifests as delusions. Delusions are false beliefs that are strongly held despite evidence to the contrary and can significantly impair an individual's ability to function. The psychotic disorder arises as a direct result of opioid use, which can alter brain chemistry and lead to severe mental health issues. Patients may exhibit symptoms such as hallucinations, paranoia, and disorganized thinking, which complicate their treatment and recovery. The management of this condition often requires a multidisciplinary approach, including psychiatric evaluation, substance use disorder treatment, and possibly medication to stabilize the patient's mental health. Understanding the interplay between opioid use and mental health is crucial for effective treatment and recovery.
Detailed psychiatric evaluations, including mental status exams and history of substance use.
Patients presenting with acute psychosis following opioid use, requiring hospitalization.
Documentation must clearly outline the relationship between opioid use and psychotic symptoms.
Comprehensive substance use history and treatment plans, including detoxification protocols.
Patients undergoing withdrawal management who exhibit psychotic symptoms.
Coordination with mental health services for integrated treatment approaches.
Used when a patient with opioid-induced psychotic disorder is admitted for psychiatric care.
Comprehensive history and examination, including mental status and substance use history.
Psychiatrists should ensure that the documentation reflects the complexity of the case.
Documenting delusions is crucial as it directly impacts the treatment approach and the coding of the condition. It helps differentiate between opioid-induced psychotic disorder and other mental health disorders.
