Medicaid - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Palm Beach, FL.

Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover basic drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. 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 holders will want to bear in mind that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers will take Medicaid. At facilities 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. Services covered by Medicaid include screenings, intervention, medication maintenance, counseling, inpatient, detox, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.

If an individual in Palm Beach is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must meet the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years old 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, restrictions and qualification requisites and these change each year. So, a person who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year just might be approved this year.
