State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they should check with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only within the state which offers the insurance.
