Medicaid - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - South Dartmouth, MA.

Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that because of the Affordable Care Act must cover basic drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health services in the U.S., and is starting to play an important role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid subscribers will want to consider that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers will take Medicaid. At facilities which do take 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 recipients. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid consist of intervention, screenings, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.

If a person in South Dartmouth wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must fulfill the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years of age or under 19 years of age 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fall within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, restrictions and eligibility requirements and these vary each year. So, a person who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may be approved this year.
