ICD-10 Code F19.13 – Other psychoactive substance abuse with withdrawal (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F19.13 – Other psychoactive substance abuse with withdrawal
What it is
F19.13 identifies abuse of another psychoactive substance, along with withdrawal symptoms caused by stopping or reducing that substance. Use it when the record supports both substance abuse and a withdrawal state.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common withdrawal findings may include anxiety, agitation, sleep disturbance, tremor, or autonomic symptoms, but you should code only what is documented and attributed to the substance.
When to use this code
Use this code when the clinician documents abuse of a psychoactive substance not named elsewhere in the code set and notes withdrawal. It may apply during evaluation, admission, or follow-up if withdrawal is still clinically relevant. Confirm the substance type and that abuse, not dependence or use, is documented.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for dependence, intoxication, or uncomplicated use without withdrawal. If the substance is specifically identified elsewhere or documentation is unclear, check documentation before coding.
Coding tip
Verify the exact substance and the provider’s wording; F19.13 requires both abuse and withdrawal.
