Drug Treatment Help Request

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation centers will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present another kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals may wish to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation program that will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehabilitation center.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only inside the state which offers the insurance.
