State-Funded Insurance (i.e. Medicaid)

Roughly 72 million Americans are on Medicaid, a federal healthcare coverage program primarily for adults with low income and their children.⁴ The program also offers support to people with certain types of disabilities and to the elderly. While it is partially funded by the federal government, each state administers a separate Medicaid program.⁴

If you were previously turned down for Medicaid and your circumstances are roughly the same you may still be eligible now. When the Affordable Care Act was passed the income and asset requirements were raised to allow more people in. While not all substance abuse facilities accept it, in Texas there are 246 facilities that accept it, 57.1 percent of the facilities in the state.¹
