Key idea: Medicaid acceptance can open the door to high-quality outpatient programs—Metro Rehab makes it easy to start your recovery journey without financial stress.
Understand Medicaid’s role in addiction care
Medicaid is a joint federal-state program that helps people with limited income pay for health services. For substance use disorders, it often covers:
- Medically supervised detox
- Outpatient treatment, including individual and group sessions
- Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) and partial hospitalization programs (PHP)
- Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) combining FDA-approved medications with therapy
- Relapse prevention planning and case management
A recent overview notes that Medicaid is one of the most common sources of funding for addiction treatment, covering medical detox and outpatient care [1]. Coverage details vary by state—for example, Ohio Medicaid serves about 27 percent of residents, funding outpatient and IOP services [2]. While you might not get luxury amenities under a Medicaid plan, you will access programs staffed by experienced clinicians who deliver effective, evidence-based care.
Good news, once you confirm your eligibility, out-of-pocket costs are minimal or zero—so you can focus on recovery, not bills.
Explore Metro Rehab’s Medicaid-funded services
Metro Rehab offers a full spectrum of outpatient programs covered by Medicaid. You’ll work with board-certified doctors, licensed therapists, and support staff to tailor a plan that fits your life.
Medication-assisted treatment
Medication-assisted treatment uses FDA-approved drugs plus counseling to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Metro Rehab’s Medicaid-covered MAT options include:
- Suboxone induction and ongoing dosing [3]
- Brixadi injections for weekly or monthly treatment [4]
- Same-day methadone clinic visits to start treatment quickly [5]
A 2021 SAMHSA report found MAT can cut overdose deaths by up to 50 percent when combined with counseling.
Counseling and therapy
Therapy helps you build coping skills, address triggers, and create a new routine. Under Medicaid, Metro Rehab provides:
- One-on-one addiction counseling tailored to your goals [6]
- Peer-based group substance use therapy for shared learning [7]
You can also access specialized tracks for trauma, family support, or co-occurring mental health concerns—just ask your care coordinator about coverage.
Specialized outpatient tracks
Some people benefit from more structure or a dual-diagnosis focus. Metro Rehab’s Medicaid-funded specialty programs include:
- Intensive outpatient program (IOP) meeting 9–12 hours per week [8]
- Dual diagnosis IOP for addiction plus mental health treatment [9]
- Telehealth addiction counseling for remote sessions [10]
These tracks let you live at home and keep work or family commitments while receiving consistent, focused care.
Navigate admissions with ease
You deserve prompt access to treatment. Metro Rehab streamlines Medicaid admissions so you can start as soon as today.
What to expect in outpatient care
After your intake assessment, you’ll follow a schedule that matches your program:
- MAT check-ins (weekly or monthly)
- Individual therapy (once or twice weekly)
- Group sessions (2–3 times per week for IOP)
- Case management meetings
Sessions typically run 1–1.5 hours, giving you time to work, study, or handle family duties.

- Medicaid eligibility verification takes minutes.
- Choose the right program track with your admissions specialist.
- Schedule your first clinical assessment, often same-day.

No referral is required in most cases. Your care coordinator handles paperwork, answers questions about co-pays or prior authorizations, and helps with transportation options if needed.
See real outcomes and long-term support
Recovery does not stop after initial sessions. Metro Rehab combines immediate care with lasting supports funded by Medicaid.
Case management and coordination
- Dedicated case managers help you stay on track, book appointments, and link to community resources
- Medicaid covers case management services for ongoing care coordination [11]
Aftercare and relapse prevention
- You can continue group or individual sessions under Medicaid
- Relapse prevention planning creates a step-by-step strategy for challenges [12]
- Peer support programs connect you with people who understand your journey [13]
Studies show structured aftercare cuts relapse rates by about 30 percent. Metro Rehab’s model keeps you engaged and supported long after you start.
