Alcoholism and drug addiction in family
ICD-10 Z63.72 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of alcoholism and drug addiction in family.
Z63.72 is used to indicate the presence of alcoholism and drug addiction within a family context, which can significantly influence the health status of family members and their interactions with healthcare services. This code highlights the social determinants of health, as family dynamics and substance use disorders can lead to increased stress, mental health issues, and a higher likelihood of chronic diseases among family members. Preventive care strategies may include counseling and education on substance use, while screening for mental health conditions is crucial. Aftercare may involve support groups and family therapy to address the impact of addiction on family relationships. Proper documentation is essential to capture the nuances of how family substance use affects individual health outcomes and healthcare utilization.
Documentation should include family history of substance use, mental health screenings, and preventive care measures taken.
Routine checkups where family history is assessed, screenings for depression or anxiety, and aftercare follow-ups for patients with family substance use issues.
Consideration of social determinants such as socioeconomic status, access to care, and community resources.
Documentation should focus on population-level data regarding substance use trends and their impact on community health.
Epidemiological studies assessing the prevalence of substance use in families and preventive health initiatives targeting at-risk populations.
