ICD-Code Z50.3: Drug rehabilitation
You have undergone rehabilitation measures.
Rehabilitation measures aim to help a person resume their normal everyday life. This may be useful when someone has been in hospital, or had a chronic illness, for a long time. This may take place in a rehab center, for example. Another option is to attend a day-care center while spending the night at home. Rehabilitation measures may also include different types of exercise.
You did your rehabilitation because of your dependence on medication or drugs.
