Who oversees treatment
Under RSA 172, the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services establishes and coordinates the state's system of substance use disorder treatment services and sets rules on facility and counselor certification.
Overdose Good Samaritan law
RSA 318-B:28-b gives immunity from arrest, prosecution and conviction for drug possession to a person who in good faith seeks medical help for an overdose, and to the person overdosing, when the evidence came from that request.
Court-ordered treatment
New Hampshire has no civil commitment law specific to substance use found in RSA 172 or 172-B, but under RSA 172:13 a court can order treatment at a certified facility for a dependent person in a criminal case, and officers may take intoxicated people into protective custody.

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 rehab looks like
Ketamine rehab gives you distance from the drug and time to address what drove the use. Residential care suits frequent, heavy use or use alongside other drugs; intensive dual-diagnosis programs fit when you can live at home safely.
Ask about psychiatric care, therapy for trauma, and medical follow-up for bladder or urinary symptoms.

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.
