Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that due to the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover 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 an important role in the reimbursements of treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid subscribers may want to bear in mind that while this is the case, not all facilities will take Medicaid. At rehab centers which do accept 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 screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.
If an individual in Thurmond is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must satisfy the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years old 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fit within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, restrictions and eligibility requisites and these change each year. So, someone who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state in the previous year just might be approved this year.
