Stimulant Detox in New Mexico

Treatment rules and programs in New Mexico

Prescription monitoring

New Mexico's Controlled Substance Prescription Monitoring Program is run by the Board of Pharmacy. Dispensers report controlled substance prescriptions to it to help detect and prevent misuse.

Public coverage for treatment

New Mexico's Medicaid managed care program is called Turquoise Care, and its health plans cover behavioral health services.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

New Mexico law (Section 30-31-27.1 NMSA 1978) gives limited immunity from arrest and prosecution for certain drug offenses to people who seek medical help for an overdose and to the person who overdosed.

How the state treats gabapentin

New Mexico's Board of Pharmacy rules name gabapentin a "drug of concern" (16.19.29.7 NMAC), which means dispensers must report it to the state Prescription Monitoring Program under 16.19.29.8 NMAC; prescriptions written by veterinarians are excepted.

What 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 New Mexico what support they offer for sleep and mood, and how they hand you off to ongoing treatment.

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.
