Qualifying for state financed insurance (other than Medicaid) to cover the price of drug treatment takes several steps. Your first step will be contacting the state and local offices in your region. You will need to converse with their staff to establish your eligibility. While each state in the United States differs in how much financing they have to treat drug addiction, there are also further circumstances that come into play to ascertain 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 money you receive each year, whether you need detoxification, what level of treatment you require (inpatient/outpatient/counseling) as well as if you have already had access to state funded treatment in the past.
