Getting Help With Substance Use: The Basics

UNDERSTANDING TREATMENT

QUESTIONS TO ASK & ANSWER

OVERCOMING BARRIERS

GUIDE TO FINDING TREATMENT

Paying for Treatment in Texas

The treatment cost in Texas highly depends on the type of program the person is pursuing. But even this factor is often dependent on health insurance. If a person has private health insurance or Medicaid, they will be limited to those programs that accept it. These factors can make the cost of treatment in Texas vary from free to very expensive.

Paying for Treatment with Medicaid in Texas

Medicaid is often used to pay for substance use treatment services. Because Medicaid is for those with financial hardship, it can cover the entire cost of care. But it may be hard to find a program with an available bed and no waiting list. In Texas, more than half a million people have Medicaid assistance.

Using Private Insurance to Pay for Drug Rehab in Texas

Private insurance can help reduce the cost of treatment in Texas. More programs accept private insurance, which makes it easier to find the right one because the patient may have options. But private insurance usually doesn’t cover the full rehab cost and may refuse to pay if they don’t think treatment is necessary.

Texas has not accepted federal funding to expand Medicaid, leaving many uninsured because they cannot afford private health insurance but don’t qualify for traditional Medicaid. But thankfully, several insurance providers offer discounted coverage through the state’s exchange marketplace.

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

• Aetna CVS Health
• Ascension Personalized Care
• Celtic/Ambetter
• Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas
• CHRISTUS
• Cigna
• Imperial Insurance Companies
• Moda Health Plan
• Molina
• Oscar
• Sendero
• SHA/FirstCare
• Community Health Choice
• Scott & White Health Plan
• UnitedHealthcare of Texas

Paying for Treatment when Uninsured

Those without insurance can get stuck with paying the full cost of treatment. Even with the assistance options mentioned above, many people who use substances don’t have health insurance. And trying to get enrolled when treatment is needed can be very dangerous.

A better option is to try finding assistance through one of the programs that offer sliding scale payment options. Sliding scale discounts are based on the person’s income level, giving greater discounts to those who make less.

For more information on how to pay for treatment, you can contact one of the treatment specialists at DRS. Or contact the center directly.

DRS’ Evaluation of Drug Rehabs in Texas

Despite most of the programs offering outpatient care, there are excellent quality residential programs and detox options. Our experts recommend contacting multiple programs and comparing the pros and cons of outpatient vs. residential. Overall, residential programs provide better treatment options.

Financially, there can be some barriers. Slightly over half of the programs in the state accept Medicaid or private health insurance. There are few options that take state-financed health insurance plans other than Medicaid. However, many programs provide sliding fee scales for clients and there are some treatment options at no charge or minimal payment for clients who cannot pay. We recommend contacting the programs being considered. Ask about payment options. Contact your Medicaid office and private health insurance provider to determine what is covered by insurance.
