Drug Treatment Help Request

Medicaid

Certain rehab facilities accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present some other type of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals might want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation facility that will get better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment facility.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but generally only inside the state which provides the insurance plan.
