Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic abuse with withdrawal with perceptual disturbance
ICD-10 F13.132 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic abuse with withdrawal with perceptual disturbance.
F13.132 refers to a condition characterized by the abuse of sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic substances, leading to withdrawal symptoms that include perceptual disturbances. Patients may experience hallucinations, altered sensory perceptions, and other cognitive impairments during withdrawal. This condition often arises from prolonged use of medications such as benzodiazepines or barbiturates, which can lead to physical dependence. Withdrawal symptoms can be severe and may include anxiety, tremors, seizures, and perceptual disturbances, which can complicate the clinical picture. Treatment typically involves a medically supervised detoxification process, supportive care, and possibly the use of alternative medications to manage withdrawal symptoms. Long-term management may include behavioral therapies and support groups to address the underlying substance use disorder and prevent relapse.
