When to use this code

Use this code when the record states opioid use, unspecified, and documents withdrawal. It may fit emergency, outpatient, or inpatient notes describing withdrawal after stopping opioids or reducing use. Check documentation if the opioid type or disorder severity is specified elsewhere.

Do not use for

Do not use it for opioid intoxication, dependence without withdrawal, or use of a named opioid when a more specific code is documented. Do not guess if withdrawal is not clearly stated.
