Opioid abuse with intoxication delirium
ICD-10 F11.121 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of opioid abuse with intoxication delirium.
F11.121 refers to a clinical condition characterized by the abuse of opioids, leading to a state of intoxication accompanied by delirium. Opioid abuse is a significant public health concern, often resulting in physical dependence and addiction. Intoxication delirium manifests as confusion, altered consciousness, and cognitive impairment, which can complicate the clinical picture. Patients may present with symptoms such as drowsiness, slurred speech, and impaired coordination. The condition is often exacerbated by the use of multiple substances, which can lead to poly-drug intoxication. Effective management requires a comprehensive approach, including medical detoxification, behavioral therapies, and support systems to address the underlying substance use disorder. Clinicians must carefully assess the severity of the intoxication and delirium to provide appropriate interventions, which may include the use of opioid antagonists like naloxone in emergency situations. Long-term treatment strategies often involve medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and counseling to promote recovery and prevent relapse.
