Medicaid

Some rehabilitation facilities accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present any other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals might want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation program which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug treatment program.

Medicare
