Opioid dependence with intoxication with perceptual disturbance
ICD-10 F11.222 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of opioid dependence with intoxication with perceptual disturbance.
F11.222 refers to a condition characterized by a pattern of opioid use leading to clinically significant impairment or distress, specifically with the presence of intoxication that includes perceptual disturbances. Opioid dependence is marked by a strong desire to consume opioids, tolerance to their effects, and withdrawal symptoms upon cessation. Intoxication can lead to altered sensory perceptions, such as hallucinations or distortions in reality, which can complicate the clinical picture. This condition often requires a comprehensive treatment approach, including detoxification, behavioral therapies, and possibly medication-assisted treatment (MAT) with agents like buprenorphine or methadone. The presence of perceptual disturbances necessitates careful monitoring and management to ensure patient safety and effective treatment outcomes.
Detailed history of substance use, assessment of dependence severity, and treatment plan.
Patients presenting with acute intoxication, withdrawal symptoms, or seeking treatment for opioid use disorder.
Ensure that all aspects of the patient's substance use history are documented, including previous treatments and responses.
Comprehensive mental health evaluation, including assessment of co-occurring disorders.
Patients with opioid dependence experiencing psychotic symptoms or mood disorders.
Document any psychiatric evaluations and treatment plans that address both substance use and mental health.
Used in conjunction with F11.222 for patients receiving buprenorphine.
Document the treatment plan, medication dosage, and patient response.
Addiction specialists should ensure compliance with MAT guidelines.
F11.222 includes the presence of perceptual disturbances during opioid intoxication, while F11.221 does not. Accurate documentation of symptoms is crucial for correct coding.
