DSM-IV = Diagnostic and Statistical Manual volume 4. I’ve heard five is coming soon..LOL
The American Medical Association and thus insurance companies recognize chemical dependency as a disease. The DSM recognizes each different substance abuse/dependency individually as mental disorders specified by a code. Opioid Dependence is 304.00, Opioid Abuse is 305.50, 292.90 is opioid-related disorder Not Otherwise Specified…
