Qualifying for state financed insurance (other than Medicaid) to cover the price of drug treatment takes several steps. Your initial step will be getting a hold of the state and local offices in your area. You will need to converse with their staff to determine your eligibility. While each state in the United States varies in how much financing they have to treat drug addiction, there are also further circumstances that come into play to figure out your qualifications for state financed insurance (other than Medicaid). The staff will inquire as to whether or not you have any other type of insurance, how much income you generate each year, whether you need detoxification, what degree of treatment you will need (inpatient/outpatient/counseling) as well as if you have already had access to state funded treatment in the past.
