Who oversees treatment
The Health Standards Section of the Louisiana Department of Health licenses behavioral health service providers, including substance use treatment programs.
Prescription monitoring
The Louisiana Prescription Monitoring Program is operated by the Louisiana Board of Pharmacy under authority created by the Legislature in 2006. It tracks controlled substances dispensed in or into the state to help curb diversion.
Public coverage for treatment
Louisiana Medicaid, known to enrollees as Healthy Louisiana, covers medication-assisted treatment for substance use disorders under its state plan.
Overdose Good Samaritan law
Louisiana's overdose Good Samaritan law, La. R.S. 14:403.10, protects a person who acts in good faith to get help for an overdose from charges and prosecution for possessing a controlled substance.
Court-ordered treatment
Louisiana law (La. R.S. 28:53) allows emergency admission by certificate of a person with a substance-related or addictive disorder who is dangerous to self or others or gravely disabled, and longer stays require judicial commitment under R.S. 28:54.
How the state treats gabapentin
Louisiana does not schedule gabapentin as a controlled substance, but the Board of Pharmacy names it a drug of concern in its Prescription Monitoring Program rules (LAC 46:LIII, Section 2901). Pharmacies must therefore report gabapentin dispensing to the state PMP.

Adderall is a prescription stimulant that combines amphetamine salts. It is approved for ADHD and narcolepsy and is a Schedule II controlled substance because it can be misused and lead to dependence. Misuse includes taking higher doses than prescribed, taking someone else's pills, or crushing and snorting them.
There is no FDA-approved medication for stimulant use disorder, so treatment relies on behavioral therapies such as contingency management and cognitive behavioral therapy. Read our Adderall addiction guide for signs and treatment options.
What Adderall rehab looks like
The strongest evidence for stimulant addiction supports contingency management, which rewards drug-free tests, along with cognitive behavioral therapy and community reinforcement. Ask any program near Louisiana which of these it uses.
Residential care makes sense when use is daily, when outpatient attempts have not worked, or when depression after stopping is severe.

Insurance and cost
Federal parity rules generally require health plans that cover substance use treatment to cover it on terms comparable to other medical care. Your actual cost depends on your plan, deductible and the program's network status, so verify benefits first. Our insurance guides explain how major carriers handle prescription drug rehab.
