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.

LGBTQ program (SAMHSA)Dual diagnosisTrauma-informedCare that includes transgender and nonbinary people
Transgender and nonbinary people often report being misgendered or treated poorly in health care settings, which can make treatment feel unsafe. Before you enroll, ask how the program handles names and pronouns, room assignments, bathrooms and continuing gender-affirming hormones.

How dual diagnosis treatment works
Dual diagnosis treatment treats substance use and mental health conditions at the same time, with one team. It usually combines therapy, psychiatric medication management and addiction treatment. The programs on this page report treatment for co-occurring serious mental illness, psychiatric medications and an LGBTQ program or group.

Using your insurance
Before you call a program, have your insurance card ready and ask three things: is the program in network, does this level of care need prior authorization, and what will you owe after the deductible. Our insurance guides walk through major carriers.
