Drug Treatment Help Request

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs will take Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present any other form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehab program that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab program.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might qualify for state insurance, they should check with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only inside the state which offers the insurance coverage.
