Who oversees treatment
The Alabama Department of Mental Health regulates the state's public substance use services system and certifies treatment providers; it contracts with community organizations to deliver outpatient and residential care rather than running programs itself.
Prescription monitoring
Alabama's Prescription Drug Monitoring Program is run by the Alabama Department of Public Health's Pharmacy Division under Code of Alabama 1975, section 20-2-210 and following. It collects dispensing records for Schedule II-V controlled substances so prescribers and pharmacists can see a patient's controlled-substance history.
Overdose Good Samaritan law
Alabama law gives civil and criminal immunity to a person who, in good faith and with reasonable care, gives an opioid antagonist such as naloxone to someone who appears to be having an opioid overdose, and to the prescribers and dispensers involved. The Alabama Department of Mental Health calls the 2015 law that created these protections the Good Samaritan Law.
How the state treats gabapentin
Alabama treats gabapentin as a controlled substance, classing it in Schedule V under state rules. The Alabama Board of Medical Examiners notified licensees of the change to Schedule V.

What to know about Adderall
Adderall misuse often starts as a way to study, work longer hours or lose weight. Over time, tolerance builds, and stopping can bring a crash of fatigue, low mood and strong cravings.
Withdrawal from Adderall is not usually physically dangerous, but the depression that can follow is real, so support matters. If you have thoughts of harming yourself, call or text 988. See signs of Adderall addiction.
What Adderall detox involves
Adderall withdrawal, often called the crash, usually brings exhaustion, long sleep, increased appetite, irritability and low mood. It is rarely physically dangerous, but the depression can be serious. Residential detox offers rest, nutrition, monitoring and support so the first days are safer and more manageable.
Detox is only the first step. Ask each program near Alabama how it plans ongoing treatment after you leave.

Using your insurance
Before you call a program, have your insurance card ready and ask three things: is the program in network, does the level of care need prior authorization, and what will you owe after the deductible. Plans regulated by federal parity law cannot set stricter limits on addiction care than on comparable medical care. Our insurance guides walk through major carriers.
