Who oversees treatment
The Minnesota Department of Human Services is the state agency that licenses substance use disorder treatment programs under Chapter 245G of state statute.
Prescription monitoring
The Minnesota Prescription Monitoring Program is administered by the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy. It is meant to detect diversion, abuse and misuse of prescribed controlled substances.
Overdose Good Samaritan law
Minnesota's Good Samaritan statute protects a person who seeks medical help for an overdose, and the person who overdosed, from prosecution for certain drug possession offenses. It also bars revoking pretrial release, probation or parole based on a covered incident.
Court-ordered treatment
Minnesota's Civil Commitment Act (Chapter 253B) covers 'chemically dependent persons' and allows emergency holds and court commitment for those who cannot manage themselves and are a substantial risk of harm.
How the state treats gabapentin
Minnesota does not treat gabapentin as a controlled substance, but the Board of Pharmacy lists it as a 'drug of concern' whose dispensations must be reported to the Minnesota Prescription Monitoring Program. The board notes gabapentin is not controlled federally or in Minnesota and is tracked to watch for misuse.

Stimulant detoxWhat to know about prescription stimulants
Vyvanse, Ritalin and Concerta are sometimes seen as safer than Adderall, but all prescription stimulants carry a risk of misuse and addiction. Snorting or injecting pills, or taking far more than prescribed, raises the danger.
Stopping after heavy use brings a withdrawal period of fatigue, increased sleep, appetite changes and low mood. Our stimulant withdrawal guide explains what to expect.
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 Minnesota what support they offer for sleep and mood, and how they hand you off to ongoing treatment.

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.
