Stimulant Rehab in Alaska

Treatment rules and programs in Alaska

Who oversees treatment

Alaska's Department of Health, through its Division of Behavioral Health, oversees substance use disorder treatment in the state, approving treatment providers and certifying addiction professionals.

Prescription monitoring

The Alaska Prescription Drug Monitoring Program tracks Schedule II-IV controlled substances dispensed in the state and is run by the Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing within the Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development.

Public coverage for treatment

Alaska Medicaid covers a range of substance use disorder treatment services under its behavioral health demonstration run by the Division of Behavioral Health, and treatment providers must enroll with Alaska Medicaid to be reimbursed.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

Under AS 11.71.311, a person who seeks help in good faith for someone overdosing, or who seeks help for their own overdose, is shielded from prosecution for certain drug possession offenses when the evidence was found because of the call; helpers must stay and cooperate with responders.

Court-ordered treatment

Alaska Statutes Chapter 47.37 allows protective custody of people incapacitated by alcohol or drugs, emergency commitment, and court-ordered commitment of 30 days with possible longer recommitment for people with alcohol or drug problems.

How the state treats gabapentin

Alaska does not schedule gabapentin as a controlled substance under state law, according to records of the state's Controlled Substances Advisory Committee. Alaska's prescription drug monitoring program tracks scheduled controlled substances, so gabapentin falls outside it.

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.

Therapies that work for stimulant addiction

Contingency management gives small rewards for drug-free urine tests and has strong evidence for stimulant use disorder. The Matrix Model combines individual and group therapy, family education and relapse prevention in a structured outpatient schedule. Community reinforcement helps rebuild work, relationships and activities that compete with drug use.

The programs on this page report one or more of these approaches. Confirm the details with each program near Alaska.

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.
