Ambien & Sleeping Pill Detox in Maryland

Treatment rules and programs in Maryland

Who oversees treatment

Maryland's Behavioral Health Administration, part of the Maryland Department of Health, oversees public behavioral health services, and its Office of Quality Assurance conducts compliance reviews and investigations of behavioral health programs.

Prescription monitoring

The Maryland Prescription Drug Monitoring Program is run by the Maryland Department of Health's Office of the PDMP. It collects and securely stores data on dispensed drugs containing controlled substances.

Public coverage for treatment

Maryland's Medicaid program is HealthChoice, and the state has pursued a federal waiver so Medicaid can pay for residential substance use treatment.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

Maryland's Good Samaritan law protects people who seek or provide help in an overdose emergency, and the overdose victim, from arrest and prosecution for offenses such as controlled substance possession and paraphernalia. It does not cover drug felonies or bystanders who do not help.

What to know about Ambien and sleeping pills

Ambien (zolpidem), Lunesta (eszopiclone) and Sonata (zaleplon) are prescription sleep medications often called z-drugs. They are Schedule IV controlled substances. The FDA requires a boxed warning about complex sleep behaviors, such as sleep-walking and sleep-driving, which can cause serious injuries.

Long-term or high-dose use can lead to tolerance and dependence. Stopping suddenly can cause rebound insomnia and anxiety, so a gradual, supervised taper is safest. Read our Ambien addiction guide.

What medically managed detox involves

Sedative withdrawal can range from a few bad nights to dangerous symptoms after heavy use. Medically managed detox keeps doctors and nurses on hand, uses a gradual taper, and treats anxiety and sleeplessness along the way.

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.
