Drug Treatment Help Request

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities accept Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present another kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehabilitation center that will produce better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment program.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only inside the state which offers the insurance coverage.
