When you’re filtering providers by Medicaid acceptance, it’s easy to feel stuck. Good news, Medicaid covers mental health and substance use disorder services for millions of Americans each year, and about 75 percent of people who enter cognitive behavioral therapy see benefits [1]. At Metro Rehab, we accept Medicaid across a broad range of programs from outpatient care to medication-assisted treatment. You can focus on recovery, not on costs or paperwork.
By partnering with both Medicaid and managed care organizations (MCOs), Metro Rehab makes evidence-based therapy available with minimal delay. We blend proven treatment methods, experienced clinicians, and flexible delivery options so you can find the right path for your needs. Whether you prefer in-person sessions or telehealth check-ins, our teams are ready to support you.
Here’s the key idea, you don’t have to compromise on quality care just because you’re using Medicaid. Below we’ll show you how to understand your benefits, explore Metro Rehab’s Medicaid-accepting programs, access help quickly, and plan a recovery journey that lasts.
Understand Medicaid coverage
Medicaid basics
Medicaid is a federal and state partnership providing health coverage to low-income individuals and families. It covers services like behavioral health therapy, psychiatric care, and substance use treatment. There are two main plan types:
- Fee-for-service (FFS), where Medicaid pays providers directly
- Managed care organizations (MCOs), private companies that arrange your care under contract
Coverage details, provider networks, and required authorizations can vary by state and plan. You can call your Medicaid member services number or visit your state’s Medicaid website to review benefits and find in-network providers.
Covered services
Behavioral health counseling goes beyond talk sessions. It includes structured interventions that target behaviors contributing to mental health conditions. Typical Medicaid-covered services include:
- Individual, group, and family counseling
- Cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and other evidence-based methods
- Psychiatric evaluations and ongoing medication management
- Substance use disorder treatment, including detox, counseling, and relapse prevention
- Case management, peer support, and community integration
Behavioral health counseling often focuses on stress management, coping skills, and lifestyle changes, delivering measurable improvements in as few as eight to twelve sessions [2]. You can ask providers which therapies they offer and how they track progress.
Finding providers
Even with broad coverage, you might encounter network limits or waitlists. To make it easier:
- Use your state’s Medicaid or MCO online directory to search by specialty and location
- Call your carrier’s member services to confirm Metro Rehab accepts your plan
- Contact Metro Rehab directly and let our admissions team verify your benefits (we handle the paperwork for you)
That way you won’t be surprised by unexpected bills or denied claims. We’re here to guide you through every step.

Access care easily
Same-day intake
Waiting for a first appointment can stall your recovery. Metro Rehab offers same-day intake at many locations. Here’s what to expect:
- Call or use our online form to request an appointment
- Complete a brief insurance and benefits check (we verify Medicaid coverage for you)
- Meet with an intake specialist who collects your medical history and treatment goals
- Begin therapy, counseling, or medication management without delay
Our focus is on rapid access to care, so you don’t lose momentum when you’re ready to start.
Telehealth and virtual options
If you prefer remote sessions, we support you with secure, HIPAA-compliant platforms:

- virtual psychiatric evaluations that accept medicaid: comprehensive assessments and medication planning via telehealth

Telehealth can be a great fit if you have mobility challenges, busy schedules, or live in areas with fewer in-person providers. Sessions follow the same clinical standards as on-site care.
Insurance and payment support
Most insurance plans cover mental health and substance use therapy, and some therapists offer grants or sliding-scale payment options for low-income households [1]. At Metro Rehab we:
- verify your Medicaid or MCO benefits upfront
- explain any co-payments or prior authorization requirements
- guide you through enrollment into an MCO if necessary [4]
- offer financial counseling to help you manage any out-of-pocket costs
Our goal is to make the financial side of treatment transparent, so you can concentrate on healing.
