For some individuals who qualify, government assistance programs like Medicaid can make drug or addiction rehab programs affordable.

Medicaid Rehab Coverage

Deciding to attend a center for addiction treatment can be a pivotal life moment for someone suffering from a drug or alcohol addiction. During this time, individuals and family members need to focus on the healing process—not the cost of treatment. Insurance companies and government programs, such as Medicaid, have made inpatient programs and other addiction recovery services much more affordable. At The Phoenix Recovery Center, we are committed to helping you build a sustainable life through emotional, physical, and mental well-being. Before getting started, we will help you understand all your payment options so you can get the help you need without the financial burden.

What Is Medicaid?

For some individuals, health insurance may be too expensive, and they have to rely on the assistance of government programs such as Medicaid. Medicaid is state and federal-funded insurance that can also cover treatment for those individuals who qualify. Some of the most common ways of paying for drug and alcohol recovery treatment are using Medicaid.

You might be wondering “Does Medicaid cover rehab?”  Medicaid can be used to cover drug or alcohol recovery. Though there are some qualifications and eligibility requirements, many individuals enrolled in drug rehab programs use one of these government programs to cover their expenses and make substance abuse recovery affordable. The price of treatment should never be a reason to not seek treatment, and that is why The Phoenix gladly serves as one of the residential treatment centers that accepts Medicaid.
