Who oversees treatment
The Behavioral Health Division of the North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services licenses all substance abuse treatment programs in the state under Century Code chapter 50-31.
Prescription monitoring
The North Dakota Prescription Drug Monitoring Program is run by the North Dakota Board of Pharmacy. It is a secure online database of Schedule II-V controlled substances and drugs of concern that authorized prescribers and pharmacists use.
Overdose Good Samaritan law
North Dakota Century Code section 19-03.1-23.4, titled Overdose prevention and immunity, provides immunity tied to calling for help in an overdose, and state policy review describes it as covering people who call 911 for themselves or another person.
Court-ordered treatment
North Dakota's commitment chapter, Century Code 25-03.1, covers an individual with a substance use disorder who, without treatment, poses a serious risk of harm. A petition goes through the state's attorney and a court hearing, and non-hospital treatment orders can run up to 90 days.
How the state treats gabapentin
North Dakota's prescription drug monitoring program law (N.D.C.C. 19-03.5-01) counts nonscheduled products containing gabapentin as controlled substances for PDMP purposes, so gabapentin dispensing must be reported to the state PDMP even though it is not placed on a drug schedule.

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
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 North Dakota 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.
