Medicaid - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Friendship, NY.

Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to provide insurance coverage for standard substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, and is starting to play an important role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid subscribers will want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all facilities will take Medicaid. At rehabilitation programs 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. Services covered by Medicaid include intervention, screenings, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.

If someone in Friendship is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must meet the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years of age 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fall within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, limitations and qualification requisites and these change every year. So, someone who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state last year just might qualify this year.
