Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to provide insurance coverage for standard drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is starting to play an important role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid subscribers may want to take into account that while this is the case, not all facilities accept Medicaid. At rehab centers which do take 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. Services covered by Medicaid include screenings, intervention, medication maintenance, counseling, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.
