Who oversees treatment
The Alabama Department of Mental Health regulates the state's public substance use services system and certifies treatment providers; it contracts with community organizations to deliver outpatient and residential care rather than running programs itself.
Prescription monitoring
Alabama's Prescription Drug Monitoring Program is run by the Alabama Department of Public Health's Pharmacy Division under Code of Alabama 1975, section 20-2-210 and following. It collects dispensing records for Schedule II-V controlled substances so prescribers and pharmacists can see a patient's controlled-substance history.
Overdose Good Samaritan law
Alabama law gives civil and criminal immunity to a person who, in good faith and with reasonable care, gives an opioid antagonist such as naloxone to someone who appears to be having an opioid overdose, and to the prescribers and dispensers involved. The Alabama Department of Mental Health calls the 2015 law that created these protections the Good Samaritan Law.
How the state treats gabapentin
Alabama treats gabapentin as a controlled substance, classing it in Schedule V under state rules. The Alabama Board of Medical Examiners notified licensees of the change to Schedule V.

Inpatient / residentialDual diagnosisStimulant programWhat to know about ketamine
Ketamine is used legitimately in hospitals and in supervised depression treatment, which can make it hard to see when use has become a problem. Using it to cope, using more often, or using despite urinary pain or memory problems are warning signs.
Because many people who misuse ketamine also live with depression or anxiety, programs that treat both at once tend to fit best. Read signs of ketamine addiction.
What ketamine rehab looks like
There is no approved medication for ketamine addiction, so rehab is built on therapy: cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, group work and relapse prevention. Because many people who misuse ketamine also have depression, anxiety or trauma, programs that treat mental health and substance use together tend to work best.
The programs on this page are residential or dual-diagnosis programs. Confirm with each program near Alabama that it treats ketamine use.

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.
