Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that because of the Affordable Care Act must cover basic drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health services in the U.S., and is beginning to play a significant role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid subscribers may want to consider that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid. At rehabilitation programs which do take Medicaid, individuals 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 include intervention, screenings, medication maintenance, counseling, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.
If a person in Charlotte is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for rehab, they must meet the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years of age or under 19 years old 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fall within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, limitations and eligibility requirements and these change every year. So, someone who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may qualify this year.
