Cocaine abuse, unspecified with withdrawal
ICD-10 F14.13 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of cocaine abuse, unspecified with withdrawal.
Cocaine abuse is characterized by the recurrent use of cocaine, leading to significant impairment or distress. This condition can manifest through various symptoms, including cravings, increased tolerance, and withdrawal symptoms when not using the substance. Withdrawal from cocaine can present with a range of psychological and physical symptoms, such as fatigue, increased appetite, insomnia, and depression. The unspecified nature of this code indicates that the specific details of the cocaine abuse are not documented, which can complicate treatment and management. Cocaine withdrawal can be particularly challenging, as it often leads to a cycle of relapse due to the intense cravings and psychological distress experienced by the individual. Treatment programs typically involve a combination of behavioral therapies, counseling, and support groups, as there are currently no FDA-approved medications specifically for cocaine addiction. Understanding the nuances of cocaine abuse and withdrawal is crucial for effective treatment and recovery, as well as for accurate coding and billing practices.
