Medicaid - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Washington, ME.

Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover basic substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health services in the U.S., and is starting to play a significant role in the reimbursements of treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid holders will want to consider that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers 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 recipients. Services covered by Medicaid include intervention, screenings, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.

If a person in Washington is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must satisfy 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 specific income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, limitations and qualification requisites and these change every year. So, an individual who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year may be approved this year.
