Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic use, unspecified with withdrawal with perceptual disturbances
ICD-10 F13.932 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic use, unspecified with withdrawal with perceptual disturbances.
F13.932 refers to a condition characterized by the use of sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic substances, leading to withdrawal symptoms that include perceptual disturbances. This diagnosis is often seen in individuals who have developed a dependence on these substances, which are commonly prescribed for anxiety, insomnia, or other related disorders. Withdrawal symptoms can manifest as visual or auditory hallucinations, altered perceptions of reality, and other sensory disturbances. The severity of these symptoms can vary based on the duration and amount of substance use, as well as individual patient factors. Treatment typically involves a medically supervised detoxification process, which may include tapering off the substance and providing supportive care to manage withdrawal symptoms. Behavioral therapies and counseling are also crucial components of a comprehensive treatment plan aimed at addressing the underlying substance use disorder and preventing relapse.
