Qualifying for state financed insurance (other than Medicaid) to cover the price of drug treatment takes a number of steps. Your initial step will be contacting the state and local offices in your region. You will need to speak with their staff to establish your eligibility. While each state in the United States may differ in how much financing they have to treat drug addiction, there are also further circumstances that come into play to determine 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 level of treatment you will need (inpatient/outpatient/counseling) as well as if you have currently had access to state funded treatment in the past.
