Medicaid - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - North Lakewood, WA.

Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income families that because of the Affordable Care Act must cover standard substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, and is beginning to play a significant role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid holders will want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all rehab programs will take Medicaid. At rehabilitation programs 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 subscribers. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid consist of screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.

If an individual in North Lakewood is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must satisfy the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years of age 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fall within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, limitations and eligibility requirements and these change each year. So, someone who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state last year may qualify this year.
