Cocaine abuse with intoxication with delirium
ICD-10 F14.121 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of cocaine abuse with intoxication with delirium.
Cocaine abuse with intoxication with delirium is characterized by the harmful use of cocaine, a powerful stimulant that can lead to significant psychological and physiological effects. Intoxication occurs when an individual consumes cocaine, resulting in symptoms such as euphoria, increased energy, heightened alertness, and decreased appetite. However, excessive use can lead to severe adverse effects, including delirium, which is a state of severe confusion and disorientation. Delirium may manifest as hallucinations, agitation, and altered levels of consciousness. The clinical presentation can vary widely, and the severity of symptoms often correlates with the amount and frequency of cocaine use. Treatment typically involves supportive care, including monitoring vital signs, ensuring patient safety, and addressing any co-occurring mental health issues. Long-term management may require substance use disorder treatment programs, including behavioral therapies and support groups, to help individuals achieve and maintain sobriety.
