poly-drug user [ multiple drug user ]

Definition: This category should be used when two or more psychoactive substances are known to be involved, but it is impossible to assess which substance is contributing most to the disorders. It should also be used when the exact identity of some or even all the psychoactive substances being used is uncertain or unknown, since many multiple drug users themselves often do not know the details of what they are taking. | misuse of drugs NOS

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 third character of the code identifies the substance involved, and the fourth character specifies the clinical state. 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. Many drug users take more than one type of psychoactive substance. 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 ...

Mental and behavioural disorders due to multiple drug use and use of other psychoactive substances

Most of the young women have been multiple drug users, their first experiences being with tobacco, marijuana, and alcohol, and 24% of our residents have begun to inject either heroin or cocaine.

Today, people still talk about drug addicts (both in the clinical sense and as a generic category), and even multiple drug addicts, but the fact remains that the notion of “drug user” has become commonplace in social discourse (among politicians, institutional players, professionals, journalists, etc.).

In addition, various combinations of residents, government and health care professionals are involved in - and here is a short list - the Maternity Care for Substance-abusing Women and Children Program; the Multiple Access Model and In-patient Working Groups; the Multi-diagnosis Working Group; the Detox Working Group; the Safe Ride Program; the Vancouver HIV-AIDS Strategic Plan; the Decriminalization Discussion Group; the Task Force on the Coroner's Recommendations; the Needle Exchange Working Group; the Point Project; the Intravenous Drug-user Working Group with St. Paul's Hospital.

In short, although the harm reduction approach can legitimately translate into multiple forms of intervention in response to emergencies in the field, while keeping silent about the law and its effects, it cannot be called a public drug policy nor seek to become one unless the choice of social values that allows us to consider drug users full-fledged citizens creates obligations for the government.
