Medicaid is a form of health care insurance available for individuals who are in certain income brackets which qualifies them to acquire this government provided insurance. Whether or not somebody qualifies for Medicaid doesn't only depend upon income however, and individuals shouldn't presume they don't qualify because they earn a fair income. For example, people who have many dependents may be eligible for Medicaid even when they earn what would be considered a fair income. Medicaid could also cover the expense of treatment, if someone has been abusing alcohol or drugs and requires rehabilitation. There are lots of drug rehab programs which accept Medicaid, but different states have distinct rules for what types of rehab are covered. Some states only include outpatient treatment services as an example while other states cover more extensive treatment such as a residential stay in long-term drug treatment center. If a person is involved in drug use and desires help, they are able to use their Medicaid insurance coverage to obtain this treatment. If they do not have Medicaid plus don't have enough cash or another form of medical health insurance to pay for treatment, they could determine if they are eligible for a Medicaid and then enroll in a drug treatment program that is approved inside their state.
