Medicaid is a health insurance available for those who are in specific income brackets which qualifies them to receive this government provided insurance. Whether a person qualifies for Medicaid doesn't only determined by income however, and individuals shouldn't presume they don't qualify just because they earn an acceptable income. For instance, men and women who have a lot of dependents may be eligible for Medicaid even when they make what would be considered a reasonable income. Medicaid can also cover the price of rehab, when someone has been abusing drugs or alcohol and needs treatment. There are many drug treatment facilities which accept Medicaid, but different states have distinct rules for what forms of treatment are covered. Some states only cover outpatient rehab services for instance while other states cover more extensive treatment such as a residential stay in long-term drug and alcohol treatment program. If somebody is involved with drug use and wants help, they can use their Medicaid health coverage to acquire this help. If they do not have Medicaid plus don't have the money or any other kind of health care insurance to cover rehabilitation, they could see if they qualify for Medicaid and then enroll in an alcohol and drug rehab program which is approved within their state.
