Medicaid - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Houston, AL.

Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that due to the Affordable Care Act must provide insurance coverage for basic substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is starting to play an important role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid holders may want to take into account that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid. At facilities 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 subscribers. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid consist of screenings, intervention, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.

If an individual in Houston wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehab, they must satisfy 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 rules, restrictions and eligibility requisites and these vary every year. So, someone who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year just might be approved this year.
