Cocaine abuse with intoxication with perceptual disturbance
ICD-10 F14.122 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of cocaine abuse with intoxication with perceptual disturbance.
Cocaine abuse with intoxication with perceptual disturbance refers to a clinical condition characterized by the misuse of cocaine, leading to acute intoxication that manifests with perceptual disturbances. These disturbances may include hallucinations, altered sensory perceptions, and distortions in the perception of reality. Cocaine is a powerful stimulant that affects the central nervous system, leading to increased energy, euphoria, and heightened alertness. However, excessive use can result in significant psychological and physiological effects, including anxiety, paranoia, and psychosis. The diagnosis requires a thorough assessment of the patient's history of cocaine use, the presence of perceptual disturbances during intoxication, and the exclusion of other potential causes for these symptoms. Treatment typically involves supportive care, monitoring, and potentially the use of medications to manage symptoms. Long-term management may include behavioral therapies and support groups to address the underlying substance use disorder.
