Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income families that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to provide insurance coverage for standard substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health services in the U.S., and is beginning to play an important role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid subscribers will want to bear in mind that while this is the case, not all facilities accept Medicaid. At rehab centers 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 consist of screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.
