QUESTIONS TO ASK & ANSWER

OVERCOMING BARRIERS

GUIDE TO FINDING TREATMENT

Paying for Treatment in Maryland

The cost of treatment in Maryland varies depending on factors such as program type, length, and particularly if the person has health insurance coverage. Those without health insurance may have difficulty finding help, but there are still options.

Paying for Treatment with Medicaid in Maryland

Medicaid can make it possible for someone to get help when otherwise, they may not be able to afford it. To qualify for Medicaid in Maryland, residents must meet certain criteria by demonstrating financial hardship. While not all rehab centers in Maryland accept Medicaid for payment, when it is accepted, Medicaid usually covers the total cost. As of 2021, more than 1.5 million Maryland residents had enrolled in Medicaid assistance.

Using Private Insurance to pay for Drug Rehab in Maryland

Private Insurance policies are available to those who can pay a monthly premium, among other criteria. Private treatment facilities often accept these policies, whereas Medicaid is generally only accepted in state-funded treatment programs. Sadly, those programs often have long waiting lists, while privately-owned facilities usually don’t. 

But private insurance can be expensive, so many residents cannot afford to carry coverage—many struggles between qualifying for Medicaid and affording private health insurance. The state’s expanded Medicaid program, Maryland Health Connection, has reduced this uninsured gap. This health insurance exchange marketplace helps residents access and afford private health insurance policies by subsidizing the cost of the premium. 

The following insurers are available through the Maryland Health Insurance Marketplace 2023 Guide:

• CareFirst
• Kaiser Permanente
• UnitedHealthcare

Paying for Treatment when Uninsured

When someone needs treatment for substance use, time cannot be wasted trying to get them on an insurance policy. That process can take weeks, and many policies will not cover addiction treatment for the first year of continual coverage. So, people often end up in situations where their only option is to pay cash for treatment.

Thankfully, many facilities understand this and are willing to work with people to get them the help they need. Some programs offer sliding scale payment options or deferred payments, making their service more affordable. You can contact one of the treatment specialists at DRS for more information on how to pay for treatment. Or contact the center directly.

DRS’ Evaluation of Drug Rehab in Maryland

In Maryland, there is a variety of everything. The primary barriers to treatment are affordability and wait times for many programs. Less than half of the substance use treatment centers in the state accept state-financed health insurance plans other than Medicaid. In addition, only a small portion offers free or minimal treatment for clients who cannot pay. Some programs offer a sliding fee scale. Unfortunately, there could be a specific criterion to meet to qualify for these payment options.

Our experts recommend contacting each program directly and asking about payment options. Also, contact your Medicaid office or health insurance provider to find out exactly what is covered.

On a positive note, most of the substance use treatment providers in the state accept Medicaid or individual health insurance. Finally, there are an extensive number of detoxification services available. Compared to other states, more programs offer residential non-hospital care. Residential treatment remains the best option.
