51339003: Polysubstance dependence (disorder)

• SNOMED CT Concept\Clinical finding (finding)\...
• \Mental state, behavior and/or psychosocial function finding (finding)\Behavior finding\Health-related behavior finding\A range of disorders stemming from the single or repeated use of predominantly psychoactive substances, including certain medications. Initially, these substances provide pleasurable effects, encouraging further use. Over time, however, this can lead to dependence and severe mental and physical health issues. These disorders also cover harmful non-medical use of non-psychoactive substances. They result in significant impairment, exhibiting cognitive, behavioural, and physiological symptoms, and persist despite adverse consequences, underscoring their complex and damaging impact.\The inability to regulate the use of a specified substance due to repeated or continuous use. Key features include a strong internal drive to use the substance, impaired control over use, prioritizing use over other activities, and continued use despite harm or negative consequences. This often comes with urges or cravings. Physiological dependence may also occur, marked by tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, or use of the substance to prevent withdrawal. These features typically appear over 12 months but can be diagnosed if use is continuous for at least 3 months.\Polysubstance dependence
