Ketamine Detox in Arizona

Treatment rules and programs in Arizona

Who oversees treatment

AHCCCS, Arizona's Medicaid agency, is the Single State Agency for substance abuse treatment. The Arizona Department of Health Services licenses behavioral health residential facilities that provide substance use treatment.

Prescription monitoring

The Arizona State Board of Pharmacy runs the Arizona Prescription Monitoring Program, a statewide database of dispensed Schedule II through V controlled substances that licensed prescribers and pharmacists can check.

Public coverage for treatment

Arizona's Medicaid program is run by AHCCCS (Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System). AHCCCS lists medication-assisted treatment, residential treatment, counseling and case management among its substance use treatment services.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

Arizona has a drug overdose Good Samaritan law that gives immunity from prosecution for drug possession to people who, in good faith, seek medical help for themselves or someone else during an overdose, such as by calling 911 or contacting law enforcement, poison control or an emergency department. A later bill removed the repeal date and made the protections permanent.

Court-ordered treatment

Arizona's court-ordered evaluation and treatment process under Title 36 requires a mental disorder meeting criteria like danger to self or others, and AHCCCS states it is not meant to treat substance use disorders alone. A person with a substance use disorder qualifies only if the behavior stems from a separate qualifying mental disorder.

What to know about ketamine

Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic and a Schedule III controlled substance. A related prescription nasal spray, esketamine, is approved for treatment-resistant depression and is given only in certified clinics. Outside medical settings, ketamine is misused for its dissociative effects.

Regular ketamine use can lead to cravings and compulsive use, and it can damage the bladder and urinary tract. There is no approved medication for ketamine addiction, so treatment relies on therapy and care for co-occurring mental health conditions. See our ketamine addiction guide.

What ketamine detox involves

Ketamine withdrawal is mainly psychological: anxiety, low mood, poor sleep, irritability and strong cravings. Detox programs that also treat mental health can manage these symptoms, keep you safe and begin therapy. Medical staff can also check for bladder and kidney problems.

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.
