Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act they are required to provide insurance coverage for basic drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the U.S., and is starting to play a significant role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid subscribers will want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all facilities accept Medicaid. At rehabilitation programs 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. Services covered by Medicaid include intervention, screenings, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.
