Medicaid - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - St. Leonard, MD.

Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover basic substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is starting to play a significant role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid subscribers will want to take into account that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers accept 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 subscribers. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid consist of screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.

If a person in St. Leonard is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must satisfy the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years old 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 eligibility requisites and these change each year. So, someone who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state last year may qualify this year.
