Medicaid - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Liberty, MS.

Medicaid is an insurance program 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 presently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is starting to play a significant role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid holders will want to consider that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid. At facilities 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 recipients. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid consist of screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.

If a person in Liberty is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must fulfill the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years old 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fall within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, limitations and eligibility requisites and these vary each year. So, someone who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may be approved this year.
