Who oversees treatment
Under RSA 172, the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services establishes and coordinates the state's system of substance use disorder treatment services and sets rules on facility and counselor certification.
Overdose Good Samaritan law
RSA 318-B:28-b gives immunity from arrest, prosecution and conviction for drug possession to a person who in good faith seeks medical help for an overdose, and to the person overdosing, when the evidence came from that request.
Court-ordered treatment
New Hampshire has no civil commitment law specific to substance use found in RSA 172 or 172-B, but under RSA 172:13 a court can order treatment at a certified facility for a dependent person in a criminal case, and officers may take intoxicated people into protective custody.

Inpatient / residentialStimulant programDual diagnosisWhat 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 New Hampshire that offer contingency management, cognitive behavioral therapy or the Matrix Model, delivered with enough intensity: residential care or several sessions a week.

Will insurance cover it?
Coverage varies, but most commercial plans pay for some level of addiction treatment when it is medically necessary. Check whether the program is in network, whether you need pre-approval, and how many days of residential care your plan allows. Our insurance guides cover major carriers.
