Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act must cover basic drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, and is beginning to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid subscribers will want to take into account that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers accept 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 screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.
