Medicaid - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Palm Beach Gardens, FL.

Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income families that because of the Affordable Care Act must cover standard substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is beginning to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid subscribers may want to take into account that while this is the case, not all facilities will take 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 recipients. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid include intervention, screenings, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.

If a person in Palm Beach Gardens wants to get Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must satisfy the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years of age or under 19 years of age 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fit within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, restrictions and eligibility requisites and these change every year. So, a person who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year may qualify this year.
