Medicaid - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Gulf Shores, AL.

Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income families that because of the Affordable Care Act must provide insurance coverage for standard substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health services in the U.S., and is starting to play a significant role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid holders will want to consider that while this is the case, not all rehab programs will take Medicaid. At rehabilitation programs which do take Medicaid, clients 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 recipients. Services covered by Medicaid consist of screenings, intervention, medication maintenance, counseling, inpatient, detox, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.

If an individual in Gulf Shores is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must meet the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years of age or under 19 years old 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fit within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, limitations and eligibility requisites and these change every year. So, an individual who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year just might qualify this year.
