substance intoxication

substance intoxication
[DSM-IV] a type of substance-induced disorder comprising reversible, substance-specific, maladaptive behavioral or psychological changes directly resulting from the physiologic effects on the central nervous system of recent ingestion of or exposure to a psychoactive substance. Specific cases are named on the basis of etiology, e.g., alcohol intoxication. DSM-IV recognizes specific syndromes for these drugs: alcohol, amphetamines or related substances, caffeine, cannabis, cocaine, hallucinogens, inhalants, opioids, PCP or related substances, and sedatives, hypnotics, or anxiolytics.
