Cannabis abuse with intoxication delirium
ICD-10 F12.121 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of cannabis abuse with intoxication delirium.
Cannabis abuse with intoxication delirium refers to a pattern of cannabis use that leads to significant impairment or distress, characterized by the presence of delirium during intoxication. Symptoms may include confusion, altered consciousness, perceptual disturbances, and cognitive impairment. This condition arises when an individual consumes cannabis in excessive amounts, leading to acute psychological effects that can mimic or exacerbate underlying mental health disorders. The diagnosis requires careful assessment of the patient's history of cannabis use, the severity of symptoms, and the exclusion of other potential causes of delirium. Treatment typically involves supportive care, monitoring, and addressing any co-occurring mental health issues. Long-term management may include substance use counseling and participation in rehabilitation programs to prevent relapse and promote recovery.
