Wiki Drug dependence in pain management

[Tonyj]

How would you code a person acknowledging a drug dependence due to the morphine prescribed to control his pain from cancer treatment? 304.1 is one code but should or could I use an E code?

I dont think there is an E code there is one for overdose but that is it.
