Will Medicaid Pay 100% For Addiction Treatment?

Under certain circumstances, sometimes, Medicaid will pay 100% for addiction treatment. Medicaid will cover most of if not all of the primary aspects of addiction treatment services. Some states do require a co-payment for substance abuse. Medicaid provides free and low-cost treatment options for people who are struggling with addictions to medications, drugs, or alcohol. Each program will have different eligibility requirements for Medicaid to cover the cost of treatment.

What is Medicaid?

Medicaid is a public insurance program for low-income individuals, pregnant and postpartum women, and those who are disabled. For the most part, using Medicaid to cover the costs of a drug rehab program will leave you with no out-of-pocket expenses. Some states do require a copay for some drug and alcohol treatment programs that are inpatient in style. If a copayment is required, it will be a minimal amount or can sometimes be waived depending on the facility you choose.
