Template:ICD10 Guideline withdrawal

This template is used for the dxs in the Category:Adverse effect to consistently explain how to use them.

To use:

This category indicates that the patient has current withdrawal symptoms or syndrome for the indicated substance.
While withdrawal USUALLY goes along with chronic abuse/dependence/addiction, there are drugs where one may get withdrawal symptoms after a first use (e.g. methamphetamines)
- Thus, if (as will often but not universally be the case) a person in withdrawal does have a chronic abuse/dependence/addiction for that substance, you SHOULD also code that.

withdrawal codes:
Alcohol withdrawal Cannabis/cannabinoids, withdrawal Cocaine, withdrawal Hallucinogen, withdrawal Opioid/narcotic, withdrawal Psychoactive substance NOS, withdrawal Sedative or hypnotic, withdrawal Solvent (organic, inhaled or ingested), withdrawal Stimulants incl methamphetamine, withdrawal

See ICD10 Guideline for drugs and substances for more info on coding substance related ICD10 diagnoses.
