Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover basic substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is beginning to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid holders will want to bear in mind that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers will take Medicaid. At rehabilitation programs which do accept 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 recipients. Services covered by Medicaid consist of screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.
