What most people don’t know is that there are plenty of options for all income levels, especially for Athens drug rehabs:

Medicaid: Medicaid is a federal program that offers health coverage to low-income individuals and families. However, are some exceptions when it comes to who can and cannot receive coverage.⁵ You also must meet the program’s eligibility requirements, which include proof that your income level is below the federal poverty line and that you’re a legal resident of the state you’ll be attending rehab.⁵

Medicare: Medicare provides health insurance to people over 65 and those with certain disabilities. Medicare covers various substance abuse treatment services and prevention.

Private Insurance: Having health insurance coverage is one of the best ways to make treatment and recovery more affordable. Virtually all health insurance providers include behavioral health benefits, and all drug rehab centers accept private health insurance. However, you’ll want to get in touch with your provider to discuss exactly what is covered, and you’ll need to make sure that your intended facility is in-network with your provider.

Sliding Scale Program: State-funded drug rehabilitation centers offer either free or low-cost care for individuals without any other financial options. Depending on the facility, you may be offered free care, special financing plans, scholarships, and so on. This covers most types of treatment, including inpatient care, outpatient care, and even methadone clinics that provide medication for opioid substance use treatment.
