Finding a prescription painkiller rehab that accepts Medicaid can ease your path to recovery. Medicaid may cover medical detox, counseling, medications and long-term support (coverage varies by state) [1]. In 2020, the SAMHSA National Helpline received 833,598 calls on substance use concerns, a 27 percent increase from 2019 [2]. If cost worries are holding you back, Metro Rehab’s Medicaid-accepting programs can give you fast access to quality care. With same-day intake, expert staff and proven outcomes, you can focus on healing rather than financing.
With Metro Rehab’s Medicaid-based services, you gain a clear path through four recovery phases, medication-assisted options and wraparound support. Even if you’ve tried treatment before, we’ll meet you where you are and help you build lasting resilience.
Medicaid coverage essentials
Choosing rehab under Medicaid often means lower out-of-pocket costs and broader access to care. Here’s what you need to know:
Understanding your Medicaid benefits
- Medicaid may cover medically supervised detox, residential programs and outpatient care.
- You can access prescription medications such as Suboxone or methadone through Medicaid in many states.
- Coverage extends to behavioral therapies, psychiatric evaluations and relapse prevention planning.
Coverage for painkiller rehab
Prescription opioids (painkillers) account for a large share of substance use disorder treatment. Medicaid typically covers:
- Medically supervised detox to manage withdrawal safely.
- Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) using buprenorphine, methadone or naltrexone.
- Individual and group counseling (including cognitive behavioral therapy).
- Case management, peer support and family services.
Out-of-pocket cost reduction
Medicaid acceptance can cut your expenses dramatically. Instead of paying several thousand dollars up front, you may only cover minimal co-pays or sliding-scale fees. That financial relief lets you focus on recovery steps rather than bills.
Streamlined Metro Rehab admissions
When you’re ready to take the first step, Metro Rehab makes it easy. We handle verification, paperwork and scheduling so you can start care today.
Same-day access
Good news — you don’t have to wait weeks for an opening. Once we confirm your eligibility, you can begin detox or outpatient services within 24 hours.
Insurance verification support
Our intake team works directly with Medicaid plans. We’ll:
- Verify your benefits before you arrive
- Explain any co-payments or authorizations
- Coordinate with your caseworker if needed
That way, you know exactly what to expect and can concentrate on recovery rather than paperwork.
Four recovery phases
Metro Rehab’s program follows a structured, four-phase model to guide you from detox through long-term aftercare.
| Phase | Focus | What it involves |
|---|---|---|
| Revive | Medical detox | 24/7 nursing, comfort measures, stabilization |
| Renew | Residential treatment & partial hos-p | Clinical therapy, skill building, peer support |
| Rebuild | Intensive outpatient & transitional | IOP counseling, life-skills coaching, sober living |
| Reintegrate | Aftercare & alumni support | Relapse prevention, community meetings, tele-support |
Phase 1: Revive (detox)
In detox, medical staff monitor you around the clock. They use evidence-based protocols to reduce discomfort, often with medications approved by the FDA [3].
Phase 2: Renew (residential)
A residential setting provides structure and 24-hour care. You’ll engage in:
- Individual addiction counseling [4]
- Group substance use therapy [5]
- Psychiatric evaluations [6]
Phase 3: Rebuild (IOP & transitional)
During intensive outpatient programming, you spend several hours a day in therapy while living in a supportive environment. This phase often includes:
- Life skills workshops
- Peer recovery coaching
- Transitional sober-living arrangements

Phase 4: Reintegrate (aftercare)
Long-term recovery thrives on ongoing support. Our alumni network, telehealth check-ins and relapse prevention groups keep you connected.
Medication-assisted options
Medications can be a cornerstone of safe, effective opioid treatment. Metro Rehab offers multiple MAT services under Medicaid.
| Medication | FDA-approved for | Administration form |
|---|---|---|
| Buprenorphine | Opioid use disorder | Sublingual tablet |
| Methadone | Opioid use disorder | Clinic-based dose |
| Extended-release naltrexone | OUD & AUD | Monthly injection |
Buprenorphine-based treatments
Buprenorphine is the first OUD medication you can receive in a physician’s office [3]. Metro Rehab’s suboxone treatment program that accepts medicaid provides flexible dosing and counseling to support your progress.
Methadone therapy
Methadone remains a gold standard for many patients. Our methadone treatment that accepts medicaid clinic offers daily dosing with medical oversight.
Extended-release naltrexone
For clients who prefer non-opioid options, we administer brixadi injections that accept medicaid and Vivitrol. Both help block cravings and reduce relapse risk.
Medications for opioid use disorders are safe, effective and save lives [7].
Counseling and therapy
Behavioral therapies help you reshape habits and cope with triggers. Metro Rehab’s Medicaid-based counseling spans:
Individual and group therapy
- One-on-one sessions with licensed clinicians [4]
- Evidence-based group workshops to build peer connections
Family and trauma counseling
Addiction affects loved ones. We offer family sessions [8] and trauma counseling that accepts medicaid to address underlying issues.
Dual diagnosis support
If you have co-occurring mental health conditions, our dual diagnosis treatment that accepts medicaid integrates psychiatric care with addiction therapy.
Holistic and peer support
Healing extends beyond therapy sessions. Metro Rehab’s holistic and peer services cultivate resilience.
Holistic addiction therapy
Options like yoga, mindfulness and art therapy complement clinical work. Explore our holistic addiction therapy that accepts medicaid.

Connecting with people in recovery can boost motivation. Our peer support programs that accept medicaid include peer mentors and alumni meetups.
