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 beginning to play a significant role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid subscribers may want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all facilities will take Medicaid. At rehab centers which do accept 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. Services covered by Medicaid consist of screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.
