Who oversees treatment
In Montana, the Department of Public Health and Human Services handles substance use treatment oversight: its Treatment Bureau approves SUD programs, and the department's Office of Inspector General licenses them.
Prescription monitoring
The Montana Prescription Drug Registry (MPDR) is overseen through the Montana Board of Pharmacy. It is an online tool that lets authorized providers see a patient's Schedule II-V controlled substance prescriptions, and pharmacies must report dispensing data to it.
Public coverage for treatment
Montana Medicaid and Healthy Montana Kids (HMK) Plus list mental health and substance abuse treatment among their standard benefits.
Overdose Good Samaritan law
Montana's Good Samaritan provision, MCA 50-32-609 (part of the Help Save Lives From Overdose Act), shields a person who seeks medical help for an overdose, and the person overdosing, from certain drug possession charges when the evidence stems from the call for help.
Court-ordered treatment
Montana law, MCA 53-24-302, allows a court to order involuntary commitment of an alcoholic to the state health department's custody when statutory grounds are proven. Commitment is limited to a set initial term with possible recommitment.
How the state treats gabapentin
Montana lists gabapentin as a Schedule V controlled substance under its state drug schedules (50-32-232, MCA). Pharmacies serving Montana patients must report gabapentin dispensing to the Montana Prescription Drug Registry under ARM 27.174.1702.

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 Montana that it treats ketamine use.

Paying for treatment
Most private health insurance plans cover addiction treatment, including detox, residential care and outpatient programs, though what is covered depends on your plan and whether the program is in network. Many programs also offer sliding-scale fees or take self-pay. Ask about prior authorization before you go, and see our insurance guides.
