State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If a person does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only in the state which provides the insurance.
