Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality treatment facility that will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehabilitation center.
