Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act must provide insurance coverage for basic drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the U.S., and is beginning to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid holders may want to bear in mind that while this is the case, not all rehab programs accept Medicaid. At rehab centers which do accept 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 recipients. Services covered by Medicaid include screenings, intervention, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.
