How to Pay for Rehab
Cost should not stop anyone from calling. Most people combine insurance with some out-of-pocket cost, and publicly funded programs exist in every state.
- Medicaid covers substance use treatment in all states; coverage of residential care varies.
- Medicare covers inpatient hospital treatment, outpatient counseling and opioid treatment programs.
- Private insurance must cover addiction treatment comparably to medical care under the federal parity law.
- No insurance? Look for facilities with sliding-scale fees, or call the SAMHSA Helpline at 1-800-662-4357 for state-funded programs.
