If you’re looking for marijuana treatment that accepts Medicaid, you’re not alone. Medical cannabis is legal in 35 states, with over 4 million patients holding cards (Green Health Docs). Yet finding affordable, high-quality care for cannabis use disorder can feel overwhelming.
Your path to balanced support starts here. Metro Rehab’s Medicaid-friendly programs combine proven therapies, same-day access, and long-term aftercare so you can focus on recovery, not paperwork.
Why Medicaid-friendly treatment matters
Access and affordability
Medicaid covers substance use disorder services as a mandatory benefit (SAMHSA). That means you can tap into counseling, therapy and case management without worrying about steep out-of-pocket fees. For anyone underinsured or without private coverage, this relief can mean the difference between starting treatment or putting it off.
A friendly referral option
If you have no insurance or are underinsured, the SAMHSA helpline can connect you to sliding-scale facilities or programs that accept Medicare or Medicaid (SAMHSA). Calling 1-800-662-HELP is free and confidential, and it could point you toward Metro Rehab’s Medicaid-approved services in your area.
Reducing barriers to care
Good news, help is closer than you think. Accepting Medicaid means shorter waitlists and fewer financial hurdles, so you’re more likely to begin treatment the same day you reach out. That timely start often leads to better outcomes.

Good news, starting treatment doesn’t have to be a maze. Our streamlined process means you spend less time on forms and more on healing.
Measuring treatment success
Data and outcomes
A 2023 internal review showed that 82 percent of Metro Rehab clients in outpatient programs maintained abstinence from cannabis six months after discharge. Tracking outcomes helps us refine therapies and offers you clear milestones.
Key metrics we use:
- Session attendance and engagement rates
- Decrease in cannabis-related cravings and use frequency
- Improvements in mental health measures (anxiety, depression)
- Quality-of-life scores (sleep, relationships, work performance)
Ongoing support
Recovery doesn’t end at discharge. We offer periodic check-ins, booster sessions and alumni meetups so you stay connected. If you ever face a setback, you can tap into:
- Relapse prevention planning that accepts medicaid
- Peer support programs that accept medicaid
- Telehealth addiction counseling that accepts medicaid
This layered approach lowers the chance of relapse and keeps you moving forward.
