Medicaid - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Baldwin, MD.

Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income families that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover standard substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is starting to play an important role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid subscribers will want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all rehab programs accept Medicaid. At rehab centers which do accept 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 subscribers. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid include screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.

If someone in Baldwin wants to get Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must meet the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years old 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fit within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, restrictions and qualification requisites and these vary each year. So, someone who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may be approved this year.
