Medicaid

Medicaid covers medically necessary detox and substance use treatment in every state, though the program name varies by state (for example Medi-Cal in California or MassHealth in Massachusetts). Many listed facilities accept it.

Private insurance and Medicare

Under federal parity rules, most private plans cover substance use treatment on par with other medical care. Medicare covers medically necessary detox as well. Verify your specific benefits before admission.
