Cocaine abuse with cocaine-induced psychotic disorder with hallucinations
ICD-10 F14.151 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of cocaine abuse with cocaine-induced psychotic disorder with hallucinations.
Cocaine abuse is characterized by the compulsive use of cocaine despite negative consequences. When this substance use leads to a cocaine-induced psychotic disorder, patients may experience severe alterations in perception, including hallucinations. These hallucinations can be visual, auditory, or tactile and are often distressing. The psychotic symptoms can occur during periods of intoxication or withdrawal, complicating the clinical picture. Cocaine-induced psychotic disorder is a serious condition that requires immediate intervention, as it can lead to dangerous behaviors and increased risk of harm. Treatment typically involves a combination of pharmacological interventions to manage acute symptoms and behavioral therapies aimed at addressing the underlying substance use disorder. Long-term recovery strategies may include counseling, support groups, and rehabilitation programs tailored to the individual’s needs. Accurate coding of this condition is crucial for appropriate treatment planning and insurance reimbursement.
