Who oversees treatment
The Missouri Department of Mental Health, through its Division of Behavioral Health, is responsible by state law for substance use treatment and rehabilitation. It sets standards and certifies substance use treatment programs, including CSTAR programs.
Prescription monitoring
Missouri's prescription drug monitoring program is administered by the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs within the Department of Health and Senior Services. It tracks controlled substance prescriptions.
Public coverage for treatment
MO HealthNet, Missouri's Medicaid program run by the Department of Social Services, covers substance use disorder treatment across levels of care, including residential treatment under the state's federal 1115 waiver.
Overdose Good Samaritan law
Missouri law (RSMo 195.205) protects a person who seeks emergency help for an overdose, and the person overdosing, from possession charges for small amounts of a controlled substance discovered because of the emergency.
Court-ordered treatment
Missouri RSMo Chapter 631 provides for involuntary detention of a substance abuser who is dangerous to self or others, starting with a 96-hour hold that any adult may apply for, followed by court-reviewed detention of up to 30 and then 90 days.

Detox + mental healthWhat 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.
