Cocaine abuse with intoxication, unspecified
ICD-10 F14.129 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of cocaine abuse with intoxication, unspecified.
Cocaine abuse with intoxication, unspecified (F14.129) refers to a clinical condition characterized by the harmful use of cocaine, leading to acute intoxication without specified severity or symptoms. Cocaine is a powerful stimulant that affects the central nervous system, resulting in increased energy, euphoria, and heightened alertness. However, it can also lead to severe adverse effects, including cardiovascular complications, neurological disturbances, and psychological issues such as anxiety or paranoia. The diagnosis of cocaine abuse with intoxication is made when an individual exhibits signs of intoxication, such as increased heart rate, dilated pupils, and elevated blood pressure, alongside a history of cocaine use that has led to significant impairment or distress. Treatment typically involves supportive care, monitoring of vital signs, and addressing any acute medical issues. Long-term management may include behavioral therapies and support groups to address the underlying substance use disorder and prevent relapse.
