The ICD-10 code for Opioid use, unspecified with intoxication is F11.92.
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F11.92 – Opioid use, unspecified with intoxication

What it is

This code identifies opioid use with intoxication when the specific opioid is not documented. It indicates a current intoxication state related to opioid use, not withdrawal or dependence alone.

Clinical signs

Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common findings may include opioid-related euphoria, drowsiness, slowed thinking, and reduced alertness consistent with intoxication.

When to use this code

Use F11.92 when the record documents opioid use with intoxication but does not name the opioid or provide a more specific opioid-related diagnosis. It may apply in emergency, inpatient, or behavioral health notes when the clinician clearly states intoxication. If the provider documents a specific opioid, code that more specific term instead.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for opioid withdrawal, opioid dependence without intoxication, or poisoning/overdose. Check documentation if the encounter is better described by adverse effect, abuse, or a more specific opioid code.

Coding tip

Code the highest level of specificity available and confirm whether intoxication, withdrawal, or overdose is documented.
