Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that due to the Affordable Care Act must cover basic drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the U.S., and is starting to play an important role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid holders may want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all rehab programs accept Medicaid. At facilities 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 recipients. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid include screenings, intervention, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.
If an individual in Sulphur Springs is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, 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) fit within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, limitations and eligibility requisites and these change every year. So, a person who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may qualify this year.
