Prescription monitoring
West Virginia's prescription drug monitoring program is the Controlled Substances Monitoring Program, housed in the state Board of Pharmacy. It collects dispensing data on controlled substances, and prescribers are required to check it before prescribing opioids.
Overdose Good Samaritan law
West Virginia gives limited criminal immunity to people who seek emergency help for an apparent overdose in good faith, covering offenses such as possessing a controlled substance without a prescription. The person must stay with the victim and cooperate with responders.
Court-ordered treatment
West Virginia law allows involuntary hospitalization of a person who is addicted and likely to cause serious harm because of the addiction, starting with a hold of up to 72 hours and followed by a court petition if longer care is needed. This is governed by Chapter 27, Article 5 of the state code.
How the state treats gabapentin
West Virginia places gabapentin in Schedule V of its Uniform Controlled Substances Act, under the "other substances" category, making it a state-controlled drug (W. Va. Code § 60A-2-212).

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 West Virginia that it treats ketamine use.

Your actual cost depends on your plan, deductible and the program's network status, so verify benefits first. Our insurance guides explain how major carriers handle prescription drug rehab.
