Medicaid - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Abingdon, MD.

Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income families that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to provide insurance coverage for standard drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is beginning to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid holders will want to consider that while this is the case, not all rehab programs will take Medicaid. At rehab centers 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. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid consist of intervention, screenings, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.

If someone in Abingdon is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for rehab, 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 specified income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, restrictions and eligibility requirements and these change each year. So, someone who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year just might be approved this year.
