Methamphetamine Abuse

A Methamphetamine Abuse ICD code should be used when documenting a patient's medical record to indicate the presence of a substance use disorder involving the misuse of methamphetamine.

Common treatments may include counseling, behavioral therapy, medications for managing withdrawal symptoms or cravings, and support services to address the broader consequences of methamphetamine abuse.

A diagnosis code for Methamphetamine Abuse signifies that a patient has a substance use disorder involving the misuse of methamphetamine, a powerful stimulant drug.
