If you’re searching for cocaine rehab that accepts Medicaid, you’re not alone. Good news, coverage from Medicaid can remove a major barrier to care. In November 2024, more than 71 million Americans were enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP [1]. However, not every treatment center accepts this benefit, so it helps to know which programs will work with your plan.
Here’s the key idea, Medicaid acceptance at Metro Rehab opens doors to high-quality care without financial stress, so you can focus fully on recovery.
Medicaid coverage for treatment
What Medicaid covers
Medicaid plays a major role in financing substance use disorder treatment in the US. Many state plans include:
- inpatient detox and residential rehab where allowed
- outpatient counseling and therapy
- medication-assisted treatment (MAT) such as buprenorphine or methadone
- case management, peer support, and relapse prevention
You’ll be glad to know that under the Affordable Care Act Medicaid must cover all essential aspects of drug and alcohol dependency recovery, including medications, counseling, and follow-up support. Coverage details vary by state, so it helps to confirm benefits in your area.
Access trends over time
A 2010 law (the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act) improved insurance parity for addiction services. After it took effect, Medicaid acceptance by treatment facilities rose by 4.6 percentage points independent of other factors [2]. From 2002 to 2013 overall acceptance climbed by more than 12.5 percentage points, a 25% jump.
Geographic variation persists. By 2013, states such as California and Florida had fewer than 56% of SUD facilities accepting Medicaid, while many northeastern states exceeded 75% acceptance [2]. This gap means you may need to widen your search or travel to nearby regions for care.
Cost sharing and copays
Good news, Medicaid recipients generally have low or no copayments for addiction services. In states that do set copays, an out-of-pocket maximum caps your expenses. If you do face a small charge, Metro Rehab’s team helps you apply for waivers or additional assistance so surprise bills don’t derail your progress.
How to find providers
Good news, several free tools can simplify your search:
- SAMHSA National Helpline: Connects you to local treatment centers that accept Medicaid or Medicare. In 2020 it received 833,598 calls, up 27% from 2019 [3].
- State Medicaid websites: Many publish directories of covered providers by service type.
- Recovery directories: Sites like Recovery.com allow filters for Medicaid acceptance.
After you identify a few programs, call each one to confirm acceptance, ask about waitlists, and learn about any additional costs.
