Who oversees treatment
The Behavioral Health Division of the North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services licenses all substance abuse treatment programs in the state under Century Code chapter 50-31.
Prescription monitoring
The North Dakota Prescription Drug Monitoring Program is run by the North Dakota Board of Pharmacy. It is a secure online database of Schedule II-V controlled substances and drugs of concern that authorized prescribers and pharmacists use.
Overdose Good Samaritan law
North Dakota Century Code section 19-03.1-23.4, titled Overdose prevention and immunity, provides immunity tied to calling for help in an overdose, and state policy review describes it as covering people who call 911 for themselves or another person.
Court-ordered treatment
North Dakota's commitment chapter, Century Code 25-03.1, covers an individual with a substance use disorder who, without treatment, poses a serious risk of harm. A petition goes through the state's attorney and a court hearing, and non-hospital treatment orders can run up to 90 days.
How the state treats gabapentin
North Dakota's prescription drug monitoring program law (N.D.C.C. 19-03.5-01) counts nonscheduled products containing gabapentin as controlled substances for PDMP purposes, so gabapentin dispensing must be reported to the state PDMP even though it is not placed on a drug schedule.

Inpatient / residentialDetox + mental healthDual diagnosisWhat 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.
Ask detox programs near North Dakota how they continue care after the first days.
