Medicaid - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Dauphin Island, AL.

Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that due to the Affordable Care Act must cover basic substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the U.S., and is starting to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid holders may want to bear in mind that while this is the case, not all rehab programs accept Medicaid. At rehabilitation programs which do accept Medicaid, individuals won't have co-payments in most states. For states which do charge co-pays, there are limits to the out-of-pocket expenses for subscribers. Services covered by Medicaid consist of screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.

If someone in Dauphin Island wants to get Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must meet the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years of age or under 19 years of age 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fall within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, limitations and eligibility requirements and these change every year. So, a person who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year may be approved this year.
