Clinical Significance
Cocaine abuse in remission indicates a patient who previously met cocaine abuse criteria but has achieved a period of recovery. This is an important chronic condition to recapture annually, as it reflects ongoing relapse risk and the need for monitoring and support services. The remission status confirms the patient is not currently using cocaine but maintains a clinically relevant substance use history.

- ✓Duration of remission if available (early vs sustained)
