Who oversees treatment
Kentucky's Cabinet for Health and Family Services, through its Department for Behavioral Health, Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities, licenses outpatient and residential alcohol and other drug treatment programs, which may not admit clients until they hold a license.
Prescription monitoring
Kentucky's prescription monitoring program is KASPER (Kentucky All Schedule Prescription Electronic Reporting), run by the Cabinet for Health and Family Services' Office of Inspector General. It collects records of Schedule II through V controlled substances dispensed in the state.
Overdose Good Samaritan law
KRS 218A.133 protects a person who in good faith seeks medical help for an overdose, and the person overdosing, from charges for possessing a controlled substance or drug paraphernalia, provided they stay until help arrives. It does not shield against other crimes.
Court-ordered treatment
Kentucky has a court process in KRS 222.430 to 222.437 for involuntary treatment of alcohol and other drug abuse. A spouse, relative, friend or guardian can petition the District Court, which may order treatment if the person is an imminent danger and could benefit.
How the state treats gabapentin
Kentucky classifies gabapentin as a Schedule V controlled substance under state regulation 902 KAR 55:015, even though it is not scheduled federally. That means gabapentin prescriptions in Kentucky are handled as controlled-substance prescriptions under state rules.

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 Kentucky that it treats ketamine use.

Using your insurance
Before you call a program, have your insurance card ready and ask three things: is the program in network, does the level of care need prior authorization, and what will you owe after the deductible. Plans regulated by federal parity law cannot set stricter limits on addiction care than on comparable medical care. Our insurance guides walk through major carriers.
