Medicaid - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Slocum, RI.

Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act must provide insurance coverage for standard drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health services in the U.S., and is beginning to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid subscribers may want to consider that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers will take Medicaid. At rehab centers 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 include screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.

If an individual in Slocum wants to get Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must meet the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years of age 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fall within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, restrictions and eligibility requisites and these vary each year. So, someone who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may qualify this year.
