Stimulant Detox in Maryland

Treatment rules and programs in Maryland

Who oversees treatment

Maryland's Behavioral Health Administration, part of the Maryland Department of Health, oversees public behavioral health services, and its Office of Quality Assurance conducts compliance reviews and investigations of behavioral health programs.

Prescription monitoring

The Maryland Prescription Drug Monitoring Program is run by the Maryland Department of Health's Office of the PDMP. It collects and securely stores data on dispensed drugs containing controlled substances.

Public coverage for treatment

Maryland's Medicaid program is HealthChoice, and the state has pursued a federal waiver so Medicaid can pay for residential substance use treatment.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

Maryland's Good Samaritan law protects people who seek or provide help in an overdose emergency, and the overdose victim, from arrest and prosecution for offenses such as controlled substance possession and paraphernalia. It does not cover drug felonies or bystanders who do not help.

What to know about prescription stimulants

Prescription stimulants include amphetamines such as Adderall, Vyvanse and Dexedrine, and methylphenidate products such as Ritalin and Concerta. They are Schedule II controlled substances. Taken as prescribed they help many people with ADHD; misused, they can lead to dependence, sleep problems, anxiety and heart strain.

Treatment for stimulant addiction centers on behavioral approaches, with contingency management having some of the strongest evidence. Learn how stimulant addiction is treated.

What stimulant detox involves

Stimulant detox is supportive care during the crash: sleep, meals, fluids and monitoring of mood. Many people can detox from prescription stimulants in an outpatient setting with regular check-ins, while residential or hospital detox suits people with severe depression, heavy use of several substances or medical problems.

Ask programs near Maryland what support they offer for sleep and mood, and how they hand you off to ongoing treatment.
