Medicaid - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Indian Head, MD.

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

If an individual in Indian Head is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must meet the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years of age or under 19 years of age 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fit within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, limitations and qualification requirements and these vary every year. So, a person who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may qualify this year.
