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

Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to provide insurance coverage for basic substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, and is starting to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid subscribers may want to consider 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, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.

If a person in Charlestown is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for rehab, they must satisfy the following criteria: 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 guidelines, limitations and qualification requisites and these change every year. So, someone who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may be approved this year.
