Who oversees treatment
The Behavioral Health Division of the North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services licenses all substance abuse treatment programs in the state under Century Code chapter 50-31.
Prescription monitoring
The North Dakota Prescription Drug Monitoring Program is run by the North Dakota Board of Pharmacy. It is a secure online database of Schedule II-V controlled substances and drugs of concern that authorized prescribers and pharmacists use.
Overdose Good Samaritan law
North Dakota Century Code section 19-03.1-23.4, titled Overdose prevention and immunity, provides immunity tied to calling for help in an overdose, and state policy review describes it as covering people who call 911 for themselves or another person.
Court-ordered treatment
North Dakota's commitment chapter, Century Code 25-03.1, covers an individual with a substance use disorder who, without treatment, poses a serious risk of harm. A petition goes through the state's attorney and a court hearing, and non-hospital treatment orders can run up to 90 days.
How the state treats gabapentin
North Dakota's prescription drug monitoring program law (N.D.C.C. 19-03.5-01) counts nonscheduled products containing gabapentin as controlled substances for PDMP purposes, so gabapentin dispensing must be reported to the state PDMP even though it is not placed on a drug schedule.

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
Hospital-based and medically managed detox programs can watch vital signs, adjust a taper and respond quickly if withdrawal becomes severe. That level of care matters most for people who have taken high doses for a long time or who also use alcohol, opioids or benzodiazepines.

Cost and coverage
The cost of treatment depends mostly on the level of care, how long you stay and your insurance. Residential care costs the most; outpatient therapy the least. Many programs on SAMHSA's directory accept private insurance, and some offer sliding-scale fees. See our insurance guides for details by carrier.
