Stimulant Rehab in Louisiana

Treatment rules and programs in Louisiana

Who oversees treatment

The Health Standards Section of the Louisiana Department of Health licenses behavioral health service providers, including substance use treatment programs.

Prescription monitoring

The Louisiana Prescription Monitoring Program is operated by the Louisiana Board of Pharmacy under authority created by the Legislature in 2006. It tracks controlled substances dispensed in or into the state to help curb diversion.

Public coverage for treatment

Louisiana Medicaid, known to enrollees as Healthy Louisiana, covers medication-assisted treatment for substance use disorders under its state plan.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

Louisiana's overdose Good Samaritan law, La. R.S. 14:403.10, protects a person who acts in good faith to get help for an overdose from charges and prosecution for possessing a controlled substance.

Court-ordered treatment

Louisiana law (La. R.S. 28:53) allows emergency admission by certificate of a person with a substance-related or addictive disorder who is dangerous to self or others or gravely disabled, and longer stays require judicial commitment under R.S. 28:54.

How the state treats gabapentin

Louisiana does not schedule gabapentin as a controlled substance, but the Board of Pharmacy names it a drug of concern in its Prescription Monitoring Program rules (LAC 46:LIII, Section 2901). Pharmacies must therefore report gabapentin dispensing to the state PMP.

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 Louisiana.

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.
