Certain people in Newton are covered by a form of health coverage referred to as Medicaid. This form of health insurance coverage is available to people who are categorized as unable to cover the costs of their own health coverage, and other eligibility requirements for the Medicaid program typically include other factors such as the number of children in their care and other sources of income such as child support. If someone who is struggling with addiction is approved to receive Medicaid many drug treatment plans are covered under this type of coverage. A variety of drug and alcohol rehab programs in the Newton area deliver services through Medicaid, and individuals can call drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in their area or speak with their primary care doctor to see which drug treatment centers prepared to accept them.
