Ketamine Detox in Connecticut

Treatment rules and programs in Connecticut

Who oversees treatment

In Connecticut, private freestanding facilities that treat substance abuse or dependence are licensed by the Department of Public Health. The Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services is the state agency that funds and operates addiction treatment services.

Prescription monitoring

The Connecticut Prescription Monitoring Program, run by the Department of Consumer Protection, keeps a central database called CPMRS. It tracks controlled substance prescriptions (Schedules II through V) so prescribers and pharmacists can review a patient's history.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

Connecticut law gives civil and criminal immunity to people who seek or receive emergency medical care for a suspected drug overdose, and to people who give an opioid antagonist such as naloxone to someone they believe is overdosing.

Court-ordered treatment

Connecticut allows a person who is alcohol- or drug-dependent to be committed through a probate court application under Conn. Gen. Stat. 17a-685 if they are dangerous to themselves or others while intoxicated, or gravely disabled. A court can order inpatient treatment of 30 to 180 days, and a separate short emergency commitment is governed by section 17a-684.

How the state treats gabapentin

Connecticut does not schedule gabapentin as a controlled substance, but the Department of Consumer Protection requires pharmacies to report gabapentin dispensing to the Connecticut Prescription Monitoring and Reporting System (CPMRS). Prescribers are not required to check CPMRS before prescribing it.

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

A supervised detox gives you structure and support in the first days off ketamine, when cravings and mood swings are strongest. Programs pairing detox with mental health care are listed first on this page.

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.
