Definition: This block contains a wide variety of disorders that differ in severity and clinical form but that are all attributable to the use of one or more psychoactive substances, which may or may not have been medically prescribed.

The codes should be used, as required, for each substance specified, but it should be noted that not all fourth character codes are applicable to all substances. Identification of the psychoactive substance should be based on as many sources of information as possible. These include self-report data, analysis of blood and other body fluids, characteristic physical and psychological symptom ...[+++]s, clinical signs and behaviour, and other evidence such as a drug being in the patient's possession or reports from informed third parties.

The main diagnosis should be classified, whenever possible, according to the substance or class of substances that has caused or contributed most to the presenting clinical syndrome. Other diagnoses should be coded when other psychoactive substances have been taken in intoxicating amounts (common fourth character .0) or to the extent of causing harm (common fourth character .1), dependence (common fourth character .2) or other disorders (common fourth character .3-.9). Only in cases in which patterns of psychoactive substance-taking are chaotic and indiscriminate, or in which the contributions of different psychoactive substances are inextricably mixed, should the diagnosis of disorders resulting from multiple drug use (F19.-) be used. | Modifiers The following fourth-character subdivisions are for use with categories F10-F19: Code Title .0 Acute intoxication A condition that follows the administration of a psychoactive substance resulting in disturbances in level of consciousness, cognition, perception, affect or behaviour, o ...

Some of our members have tested positive post-accident in a drug test, and they were automatically terminated.

The Act provided for: a prohibition against importing or exporting drugs at a port not designated for that purpose by federal authorities; the issue of permits for the import, export, manufacture, sale and distribution of drugs; the imposition of criteria regarding packaging and labelling of packages containing such substances; an obligation for businesses to keep a record of their drug importing, exporting, manufacturing, sale and distribution activities duly authorized by federal authorities; an obligation for physicians to provide the information requested by federal authorities concerning the purchase, manufacture or prescription ...[+++] of medications containing drugs; an obligation for pharmacists to keep a record of their purchases and sales of drugs, the preparation of their own medications containing such substances and renewals of prescriptions signed by a physician; [58] and the authorization to sell medications (such as ointments and liniments) containing very small quantifies of scheduled drugs without a permit, provided they were not administered to children under two years of age and met certain labelling criteria.

The report concludes that sterile injection equipment will have to be made available in prisons. The report emphasises that adoption of a harm-reduction approach to drug use in prisons does not mean condoning drug use but rather means discouraging unsafe injecting behavior.

If we want solid conclusions regarding this issue, we would have to do randomized studies, that is to say, take a population of drug users and give some people sterile needles, on a random basis, and not give them to the others.
