Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals may choose to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehabilitation center that will get better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab center.
