Being approved for state financed insurance (other than Medicaid) to cover the expense of drug rehab takes a number of steps. Your very first step will be contacting the state and local offices in your region. You will need to speak with their staff to determine your eligibility. While each state in the United States may differ in how much funding they have to treat drug addiction, there are also added circumstances that come into play to decide your qualifications for state financed insurance (other than Medicaid). The staff will inquire as to whether you have any other form 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 currently had access to state funded treatment in the past.
