Medicaid - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - St. Thomas, MO.

Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income households that due to the Affordable Care Act must cover basic substance abuse rehabilitation services. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health services in the U.S., and is starting to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid subscribers may want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers will take Medicaid. At facilities 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 recipients. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid consist of screenings, intervention, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.

If an individual in St. Thomas is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must satisfy the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years old 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fall within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, limitations and eligibility requisites and these vary every year. So, someone who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year just might qualify this year.
