Medicaid - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Houston, OH.

Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act must provide insurance coverage for basic drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health services in the U.S., and is beginning to play an important role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid holders may want to consider that while this is the case, not all rehab programs will take Medicaid. At rehab centers which do accept 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. Services covered by Medicaid consist of screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.

If someone in Houston wants to get 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 qualification requisites and these vary every year. So, a person who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state last year just might qualify this year.
