Opioid abuse with opioid-induced psychotic disorder, unspecified
ICD-10 F11.159 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of opioid abuse with opioid-induced psychotic disorder, unspecified.
F11.159 refers to a condition characterized by the abuse of opioids, leading to a psychotic disorder that is induced by the substance. Opioid abuse is a significant public health issue, often resulting in severe psychological and physical health consequences. Patients may experience hallucinations, delusions, and other psychotic symptoms as a direct result of opioid use. The unspecified nature of the psychotic disorder indicates that the specific type of psychosis is not clearly defined, which can complicate treatment and management. Treatment typically involves a combination of pharmacological interventions, such as the use of opioid antagonists, and psychosocial support, including counseling and rehabilitation programs. The complexity of managing opioid-induced psychotic disorders lies in the need for careful assessment of the patient's substance use history, mental health status, and the potential for withdrawal symptoms, which can further complicate the clinical picture.
Detailed mental health assessments, including history of substance use and current symptoms.
Patients presenting with acute psychosis following opioid use, or those with a history of opioid abuse and ongoing psychotic symptoms.
Careful monitoring of medication interactions and potential for withdrawal symptoms during treatment.
Comprehensive substance use evaluations, including screening tools and treatment plans.
Patients in detoxification programs experiencing psychotic symptoms, or those in long-term recovery with relapse episodes.
Integration of mental health treatment with addiction recovery strategies.
Used for follow-up visits for patients with opioid-induced psychosis.
Document the patient's history, current symptoms, and treatment plan.
Psychiatrists should ensure comprehensive mental health assessments are included.
Opioid-induced psychosis occurs as a direct result of opioid use, while primary psychotic disorders, such as schizophrenia, are not caused by substance use. Accurate diagnosis requires careful assessment of the patient's substance use history and the timing of symptom onset.
