Medicaid is a type of health care insurance available for many people who are in specific income brackets which qualifies them to receive this government funded insurance coverage. Whether someone qualifies for Medicaid doesn't only determined by their earnings however, and individuals shouldn't assume they don't qualify because they make a fair income. For example, individuals who have a lot of dependents may qualify for Medicaid even if they earn what would be considered a reasonable income. Medicaid can also cover the costs of rehab, when someone has been abusing drugs or alcohol and requires rehab. There are lots of alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities which accept Medicaid, but various states have different rules for what forms of treatment are covered. Some states only cover outpatient treatment services by way of example while other states cover more intensive rehab such as a residential stay in long-term drug treatment facility. If somebody is involved in drug use and wants help, they could use their Medicaid insurance coverage to acquire this help. If they don't have Medicaid and also don't have enough cash or any other type of health care insurance to pay for treatment, they can see if they are eligible for a Medicaid and then sign up for an alcohol and drug rehab program that's approved in their state.
