Medicaid is a form of medical health insurance available for individuals who are in specific income brackets which qualifies them to receive this government provided insurance. Whether an individual is qualified for Medicaid doesn't only depend on income however, and individuals shouldn't assume they don't qualify just because they make a fair income. For instance, individuals who have many dependents may be eligible for Medicaid even if they make what might be described as a sensible income. Medicaid can also cover the expenses of rehabilitation, if a person has been abusing drugs or alcohol and requires rehabilitation. There are several alcohol and drug treatment facilities which accept Medicaid, but various states have distinct rules for what types of rehab are covered. Certain states only include outpatient rehab services for instance while other states cover more intensive treatment like a residential stay in long-term drug rehab center. If someone is involved with drug abuse and needs help, they can use their Medicaid health coverage to get this treatment. If they do not have Medicaid and also don't have the cash or another type of health insurance to pay for treatment, they can see if they are eligible for a Medicaid and then enroll in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility which is approved in their state.
