Medicaid

Some rehabilitation facilities will take Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present some other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality rehabilitation center that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab center.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some type of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals may have to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment center that is in their network of providers and there could be other restrictions including how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent center they prefer and consult with a treatment counselor to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.
