Stimulant Rehab in Mississippi

Treatment rules and programs in Mississippi

Who oversees treatment

The Governor has designated the Mississippi Department of Mental Health to administer the state's substance use block grant, and the department runs the public substance use disorder system. It certifies community alcohol and drug service providers rather than licensing them.

Prescription monitoring

Mississippi's Prescription Monitoring Program is operated by the state Board of Pharmacy. Pharmacies report controlled substances dispensed to patients, and the data is available to authorized users.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

The Mississippi Medical Emergency Good Samaritan Act (Miss. Code 41-29-149.1) protects a person who seeks help in good faith for a drug overdose from arrest or prosecution for certain low-level possession and paraphernalia offenses discovered because of the emergency.

Court-ordered treatment

Mississippi has a court process for alcohol and drug commitment. An interested person files an affidavit with the chancery court after a community mental health center screening, and the court may order inpatient or outpatient treatment.

How the state treats gabapentin

The Mississippi Board of Pharmacy has designated gabapentin a drug of concern, so every gabapentin prescription that is dispensed must be reported to the Mississippi Prescription Monitoring Program (MSPMP).

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

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

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.
