West Virginia Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers That Accept Medicaid

In the wake of the pervasive and unprecedented drug overdose, which according to the CDC hit more 70,000 in 2017, many American states have accepted additional Medicaid dollars to combat the crisis within their borders. In January 2014, West Virginia opted to buy into the Medicaid expansion to help with their particularly alarming and tragic opioid overdose crisis—the state leads the nation in overdose fatality. Since expanding Medicaid access for eligible patients, enrollment has covered more than 150,000 people in the state. These are mostly federal funds to provide Medicaid for the newly eligible population of low-income adults, most of whom have jobs but no option for employer-sponsored health insurance.

Starting in 2017, the state began to pay 5 percent of the cost, and that will climb to 10 percent by 2020. West Virginia alcohol and drug rehab centers that accept Medicaid can very easily make the difference between proactive, effective, and compassionate treatment and years of languishing with sickening and painful cravings and withdrawal symptoms before succumbing to overdose because you or your loved one don’t feel you can afford treatment.
