Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act must cover basic substance abuse rehabilitation services. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, and is beginning to play an important role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid subscribers will want to consider that while this is the case, not all rehab programs will take Medicaid. At rehabilitation programs 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 recipients. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid consist of intervention, screenings, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.
