Who oversees treatment
In Montana, the Department of Public Health and Human Services handles substance use treatment oversight: its Treatment Bureau approves SUD programs, and the department's Office of Inspector General licenses them.
Prescription monitoring
The Montana Prescription Drug Registry (MPDR) is overseen through the Montana Board of Pharmacy. It is an online tool that lets authorized providers see a patient's Schedule II-V controlled substance prescriptions, and pharmacies must report dispensing data to it.
Public coverage for treatment
Montana Medicaid and Healthy Montana Kids (HMK) Plus list mental health and substance abuse treatment among their standard benefits.
Overdose Good Samaritan law
Montana's Good Samaritan provision, MCA 50-32-609 (part of the Help Save Lives From Overdose Act), shields a person who seeks medical help for an overdose, and the person overdosing, from certain drug possession charges when the evidence stems from the call for help.
Court-ordered treatment
Montana law, MCA 53-24-302, allows a court to order involuntary commitment of an alcoholic to the state health department's custody when statutory grounds are proven. Commitment is limited to a set initial term with possible recommitment.
How the state treats gabapentin
Montana lists gabapentin as a Schedule V controlled substance under its state drug schedules (50-32-232, MCA). Pharmacies serving Montana patients must report gabapentin dispensing to the Montana Prescription Drug Registry under ARM 27.174.1702.

Stimulant programWhat 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 Montana 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.
