Medicaid - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - St. Charles, VA.

Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act they are required to provide insurance coverage for basic substance abuse rehabilitation services. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is beginning to play an important role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid subscribers will want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all facilities accept Medicaid. At rehabilitation programs which do take 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. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid include screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.

If someone in St. Charles wants to get Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must fulfill the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years old 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fall within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, limitations and eligibility requirements and these vary every year. So, a person who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year may qualify this year.
