Medicaid

Certain treatment centers accept Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present another kind of private health care insurance.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only in the state which offers the insurance.
