Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic abuse with other sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced disorder
ICD-10 F13.188 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic abuse with other sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced disorder.
F13.188 refers to a condition characterized by the abuse of sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic substances, leading to other induced disorders. This includes a range of psychological and physical symptoms resulting from the misuse of these substances, which are often prescribed for anxiety, sleep disorders, or muscle relaxation. Patients may experience withdrawal symptoms, tolerance, and cravings, which can significantly impair their daily functioning. The abuse of these substances can lead to serious health complications, including respiratory depression, cognitive impairment, and increased risk of overdose. Treatment typically involves a combination of detoxification, counseling, and rehabilitation programs tailored to the individual's needs. Clinicians must carefully document the patient's substance use history, the severity of the disorder, and any co-occurring mental health conditions to ensure accurate coding and appropriate treatment planning.
