Ambien & Sleeping Pill Rehab in Minnesota

Treatment rules and programs in Minnesota

Who oversees treatment

The Minnesota Department of Human Services is the state agency that licenses substance use disorder treatment programs under Chapter 245G of state statute.

Prescription monitoring

The Minnesota Prescription Monitoring Program is administered by the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy. It is meant to detect diversion, abuse and misuse of prescribed controlled substances.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

Minnesota's Good Samaritan statute protects a person who seeks medical help for an overdose, and the person who overdosed, from prosecution for certain drug possession offenses. It also bars revoking pretrial release, probation or parole based on a covered incident.

Court-ordered treatment

Minnesota's Civil Commitment Act (Chapter 253B) covers 'chemically dependent persons' and allows emergency holds and court commitment for those who cannot manage themselves and are a substantial risk of harm.

How the state treats gabapentin

Minnesota does not treat gabapentin as a controlled substance, but the Board of Pharmacy lists it as a 'drug of concern' whose dispensations must be reported to the Minnesota Prescription Monitoring Program. The board notes gabapentin is not controlled federally or in Minnesota and is tracked to watch for misuse.

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 sleeping pill rehab looks like

Treatment for Ambien and other sleeping pill dependence usually combines a gradual taper with cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, which teaches the brain to sleep without medication. Programs also treat the anxiety, depression or pain that often sit underneath sleep problems.

The programs on this page report psychiatric medication management. Ask each program near Minnesota how it handles tapering.

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.
