Alabama Alcohol and Drug Addiction Treatment Centers That Accept Medicaid

As the need for quality and affordable addiction treatment becomes more and more apparent yet remains consistently elusive to large swaths of the American population, Medicaid has emerged as a powerful resource for patients with limited means to access care and get the help they need. According to the state’s 2017 Annual Report, Alabama distributed $5.7 billion in Medicaid benefits, seven percent of which was paid out toward mental health services. Applicants undergo a rigorous screening and verification process before being approved for benefits. In addition to income, citizenship and other records are validated. Elderly and disabled applicants are also screened for resources and transfer of assets. In almost all cases, Alabama’s financial eligibility limits are at the federal minimum level.

What Types of Treatment Does Medicaid Cover?

Generally speaking, Medicaid may be more apt to cover outpatient treatment programs because of their comparative affordability; however, patients may be able to have their plans cover residential treatment if there’s a demonstrated need. Medicaid also covers opioid and alcohol use maintenance drugs like Vivitrol (suboxone), Suboxone (buprenorphine) and methadone. Behavioral rehab covered by Medicaid includes counseling, psychiatric therapy and approved specialized therapeutic modalities. Medicaid may pay for all or part of patients’ care, depending upon their financial situation. While Alabama didn’t opt-in to the Medicaid expansion, there are still ample resources for patients who need affordable treatment.
