Who oversees treatment
The Governor has designated the Mississippi Department of Mental Health to administer the state's substance use block grant, and the department runs the public substance use disorder system. It certifies community alcohol and drug service providers rather than licensing them.
Prescription monitoring
Mississippi's Prescription Monitoring Program is operated by the state Board of Pharmacy. Pharmacies report controlled substances dispensed to patients, and the data is available to authorized users.
Overdose Good Samaritan law
The Mississippi Medical Emergency Good Samaritan Act (Miss. Code 41-29-149.1) protects a person who seeks help in good faith for a drug overdose from arrest or prosecution for certain low-level possession and paraphernalia offenses discovered because of the emergency.
Court-ordered treatment
Mississippi has a court process for alcohol and drug commitment. An interested person files an affidavit with the chancery court after a community mental health center screening, and the court may order inpatient or outpatient treatment.
How the state treats gabapentin
The Mississippi Board of Pharmacy has designated gabapentin a drug of concern, so every gabapentin prescription that is dispensed must be reported to the Mississippi Prescription Monitoring Program (MSPMP).

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 Mississippi that it treats ketamine use.

Will insurance cover it?
Coverage varies, but most commercial plans pay for some level of addiction treatment when it is medically necessary. Check whether the program is in network, whether you need pre-approval, and how many days of residential care your plan allows. Our insurance guides cover major carriers.
