Medicaid - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Bristol, ME.

Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act they are required to provide insurance coverage for basic drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the U.S., and is starting to play an important role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid holders will want to take into account that while this is the case, not all rehab programs will take Medicaid. At rehab centers 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 subscribers. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid include screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.

If someone in Bristol wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehab, they must meet the following guidelines: 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 change each year. So, an individual who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state last year may qualify this year.
