ICD-11

Disorders due to use of unknown or unspecified psychoactive substances are characterised by the pattern and consequences of psychoactive substance use when the specific substance is unknown or unspecified. These categories may be used in clinical situations in which it is clear that the disturbance is due to substance use but the specific class of substance is unknown. Once the relevant substance is identified, the disturbance should be recoded under the appropriate substance class.

Intoxication due to unknown or unspecified psychoactive substance is a transient condition that develops during or shortly after the administration of an unknown or unspecified psychoactive substance that is characterised by disturbances in level of consciousness, cognition, perception, affect or behaviour, or other psychophysiological functions and responses. This diagnosis should be made only when there is strong evidence that an unidentified substance has been taken and the features cannot be accounted for by another disorder or disease.
