Medicaid is a form of health care insurance available for many people who are in certain income brackets which qualifies them to receive this government provided insurance. Whether or not someone qualifies for Medicaid doesn't only depend upon their earnings however, and individuals shouldn't presume they don't qualify because they make an acceptable income. As an example, individuals who have many dependents may qualify for Medicaid even when they make what can be considered a sensible income. Medicaid can also cover the costs of rehab, when someone has been abusing drugs or alcohol and requires treatment. There are numerous alcohol and drug treatment facilities which accept Medicaid, but various states have distinct rules for what sorts of treatment are covered. Certain states only cover outpatient treatment services as an example while other states cover more extensive rehabilitation such as a residential stay in long-term drug and alcohol treatment program. If anyone is involved in drug abuse and desires help, they are able to use their Medicaid health coverage to obtain this help. If they don't have Medicaid and also don't have enough cash or another form of medical insurance to cover rehabilitation, they can check if they are eligible for a Medicaid and then enroll in an alcohol and drug treatment center that's approved in their state.
