Medicaid is a kind of medical health insurance available for those 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 upon income however, and individuals shouldn't assume they don't qualify just because they make a fair income. By way of example, individuals who have many dependents may be eligible for Medicaid even when they make what can be considered a fair income. Medicaid could also cover the expenses of rehab, when someone has been abusing drugs or alcohol and needs rehab. There are lots of drug rehabilitation facilities which accept Medicaid, but various states have different rules for what kinds of treatment are covered. Certain states only cover outpatient rehab services as an example while other states cover more intensive rehabilitation like a residential stay in long-term drug and alcohol rehab center. If someone is involved with substance abuse and needs help, they are able to use their Medicaid insurance coverage to get this help. If they do not have Medicaid and also don't have the money or some other type of health insurance to cover rehabilitation, they can determine if they qualify for Medicaid and then sign up for a drug and alcohol treatment program that's approved in their state.
