Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to provide insurance coverage for basic substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the U.S., and is starting to play an important role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid holders may want to consider that while this is the case, not all facilities accept 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 subscribers. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid consist of intervention, screenings, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.
