Treatment rules and programs in Alabama

Who oversees treatment

The Alabama Department of Mental Health regulates the state's public substance use services system and certifies treatment providers; it contracts with community organizations to deliver outpatient and residential care rather than running programs itself.

Prescription monitoring

Alabama's Prescription Drug Monitoring Program is run by the Alabama Department of Public Health's Pharmacy Division under Code of Alabama 1975, section 20-2-210 and following. It collects dispensing records for Schedule II-V controlled substances so prescribers and pharmacists can see a patient's controlled-substance history.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

Alabama law gives civil and criminal immunity to a person who, in good faith and with reasonable care, gives an opioid antagonist such as naloxone to someone who appears to be having an opioid overdose, and to the prescribers and dispensers involved. The Alabama Department of Mental Health calls the 2015 law that created these protections the Good Samaritan Law.

How the state treats gabapentin

Alabama treats gabapentin as a controlled substance, classing it in Schedule V under state rules. The Alabama Board of Medical Examiners notified licensees of the change to Schedule V.

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.

Therapies that work for stimulant addiction

Unlike opioid addiction, stimulant addiction has no FDA-approved medication, so the therapy you get is the treatment. Look for programs near Alabama that offer contingency management, cognitive behavioral therapy or the Matrix Model, delivered with enough intensity: residential care or several sessions a week.

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.
