Who oversees treatment
The Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS) oversees licensing and regulatory compliance for substance use treatment providers in the state.
Prescription monitoring
Virginia's Prescription Monitoring Program is run by the Department of Health Professions. It is a statewide database of dispensed controlled substances that providers use to guide prescribing and dispensing decisions.
Public coverage for treatment
Virginia Medicaid, run by the Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS), covers substance use treatment through its Addiction and Recovery Treatment Services (ARTS) benefit. ARTS includes community-based services, inpatient detox, and residential treatment.
Overdose Good Samaritan law
Virginia Code 18.2-251.03 protects a person who in good faith seeks emergency medical help for an overdose, or gives aid to someone else, from arrest and prosecution for certain offenses such as simple possession. Conditions apply, such as staying at the scene until police respond.
How the state treats gabapentin
Virginia lists gabapentin among the central nervous system depressants in Schedule V of its Drug Control Act, so it is a controlled substance under state law (Va. Code § 54.1-3454).

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 Virginia 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.
