Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that because of the Affordable Care Act must provide insurance coverage for basic substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the U.S., and is starting to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid subscribers may want to bear in mind that while this is the case, not all rehab programs accept Medicaid. At facilities which do take Medicaid, clients won't have co-payments in most states. For states which do charge co-pays, there are limits to the out-of-pocket expenses for subscribers. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid consist of intervention, screenings, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.
