Stimulant Detox in Montana

Treatment rules and programs in Montana

Who oversees treatment

In Montana, the Department of Public Health and Human Services handles substance use treatment oversight: its Treatment Bureau approves SUD programs, and the department's Office of Inspector General licenses them.

Prescription monitoring

The Montana Prescription Drug Registry (MPDR) is overseen through the Montana Board of Pharmacy. It is an online tool that lets authorized providers see a patient's Schedule II-V controlled substance prescriptions, and pharmacies must report dispensing data to it.

Public coverage for treatment

Montana Medicaid and Healthy Montana Kids (HMK) Plus list mental health and substance abuse treatment among their standard benefits.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

Montana's Good Samaritan provision, MCA 50-32-609 (part of the Help Save Lives From Overdose Act), shields a person who seeks medical help for an overdose, and the person overdosing, from certain drug possession charges when the evidence stems from the call for help.

Court-ordered treatment

Montana law, MCA 53-24-302, allows a court to order involuntary commitment of an alcoholic to the state health department's custody when statutory grounds are proven. Commitment is limited to a set initial term with possible recommitment.

How the state treats gabapentin

Montana lists gabapentin as a Schedule V controlled substance under its state drug schedules (50-32-232, MCA). Pharmacies serving Montana patients must report gabapentin dispensing to the Montana Prescription Drug Registry under ARM 27.174.1702.

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

The first week off stimulants is usually the hardest, with fatigue, hunger, poor concentration and low mood, followed by weeks of cravings that come and go. Detox programs keep you safe and comfortable and plan what comes next.

Cost and coverage

Many programs on SAMHSA's directory accept private insurance, and some offer sliding-scale fees. See our insurance guides for details by carrier.
