Medicaid - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Needham Heights, MA.

Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act must provide insurance coverage for basic substance abuse rehabilitation services. 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 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 accept 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 intervention, screenings, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.

If an individual in Needham Heights wants to get Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must meet the following criteria: 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 guidelines, limitations and qualification requirements and these vary each year. So, an individual who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year just might be approved this year.
