Medicaid& addiction treatment

What's typically covered

Medicaid covers substance-use and mental-health treatment in every state — including detox, outpatient, and, in most states, residential care. The exact services covered and the programs that accept Medicaid vary by state.

Covered services depend on medical necessity and your specific plan.

What will it cost?

Medicaid treatment is typically low- or no-cost to the member. Coverage and any small copays vary by state plan.

Typical self-pay ranges (general estimates, not a quote):

Medical detox$250–$800 / day (outpatient detox often $1,000–$1,500 total; medical inpatient detox $5,000+)
Residential / inpatient$6,000–$30,000 for a 30-day program (≈$12,500 average); 60–90 days $30,000+
Partial hospitalization (PHP)$350–$450 / day
Intensive outpatient (IOP)$250–$650 / day (≈$3,000–$10,000 per program)
Standard outpatient$2,000–$10,000 per program, by intensity

These are general industry estimates to set expectations — not a price quote. Actual cost and coverage must be confirmed with the facility and your insurer. With insurance, you typically pay far less than self-pay.
