Inhalant Use Disorder and Intoxication

Overview

Description

Inhalants are volatile substances that produce chemical vapors, which can be inhaled to induce psychoactive or mind-altering effects. Inhalant Use Disorder involves a problematic pattern of inhalant use leading to clinically significant impairment or distress. Intoxication occurs rapidly after inhalation, often producing short-lived effects but carrying serious medical risks.

Prevalence

More common in adolescents; lifetime prevalence ~0.4% in U.S. adults, but higher in certain marginalized populations.

Age of Onset

Often begins in early adolescence due to ease of access and low cost.

ICD-10 Code
