Medicaid - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Challenge, CA.

Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover basic drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the U.S., and is beginning to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid subscribers may want to consider that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid. At facilities 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 subscribers. Services covered by Medicaid include intervention, screenings, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.

If an individual in Challenge wants to get Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must meet the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years of age or under 19 years old 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fit within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, limitations and eligibility requisites and these change every year. So, a person who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state in the previous year just might qualify this year.
