Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover standard drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, and is starting to play a significant role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid holders will want to take into account that while this is the case, not all rehab programs accept Medicaid. At facilities which do accept 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. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid consist of intervention, screenings, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.
If an individual in Freeport wants to get Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must satisfy the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years of age 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fit within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, restrictions and eligibility requirements and these change every year. So, someone who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may be approved this year.
