Who oversees treatment
In Hawaii, the Department of Health's Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division accredits substance use treatment programs, while the department's Office of Health Care Assurance handles state licensing of special treatment facilities and therapeutic living programs.
Prescription monitoring
Hawaii's Prescription Drug Monitoring Program is operated by the Narcotics Enforcement Division of the Department of Law Enforcement and keeps a record of controlled-substance prescriptions that prescribers and pharmacies can use.
Overdose Good Samaritan law
Hawaii law (added to Chapter 329 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes by Act 217 of 2015) protects a person who seeks medical help in good faith for a drug or alcohol overdose from arrest and prosecution for certain offenses such as drug possession.
Court-ordered treatment
Hawaii's civil commitment law in Chapter 334 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes allows court-ordered involuntary hospitalization for a person with mental illness or a substance abuse problem who is imminently dangerous, gravely disabled or obviously ill and has no suitable less restrictive option.

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.

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.
