Who oversees treatment
The Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS), part of the Department of Human Services, is New Jersey's designated single state agency for substance use and mental health. Substance use treatment facilities are licensed by the Department of Health under N.J.A.C. 8:43K.
Prescription monitoring
The New Jersey Prescription Monitoring Program (NJPMP) is run by the Division of Consumer Affairs. It tracks controlled dangerous substances dispensed in outpatient settings, and licensed prescribers and pharmacists can check a patient's history.
Public coverage for treatment
New Jersey's Medicaid program is NJ FamilyCare, which covers most substance use treatment services for eligible people.
Overdose Good Samaritan law
New Jersey's Overdose Prevention Act (P.L. 2013, c.46) protects a person who calls for medical help during an overdose, and the overdose victim, from arrest and prosecution for certain drug possession and use offenses. It does not cover other crimes such as trafficking.
How the state treats gabapentin
New Jersey requires pharmacies to report every gabapentin transaction to the NJ Prescription Monitoring Program, the same way they report Schedule II-V controlled dangerous substances. The requirement comes from N.J.A.C. 13:45A-35.3.

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 New Jersey that offer contingency management, cognitive behavioral therapy or the Matrix Model, delivered with enough intensity: residential care or several sessions a week.

Insurance and cost
Federal parity rules generally require health plans that cover substance use treatment to cover it on terms comparable to other medical care. Your actual cost depends on your plan, deductible and the program's network status, so verify benefits first. Our insurance guides explain how major carriers handle prescription drug rehab.
