Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover basic drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health services in the U.S., and is starting to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid holders may want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all rehab programs 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 consist of intervention, screenings, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.
If someone in Salem is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must satisfy 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 rules, limitations and eligibility 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.
