Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that due to the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover standard substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, and is beginning to play a significant role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid holders will want to bear in mind that while this is the case, not all rehab programs 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 recipients. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid include intervention, screenings, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.
