Insurance & Medicaid Coverage in Maine

Maine has expanded Medicaid under the ACA, significantly broadening access to addiction treatment for low-income adults earning up to 138% of the federal poverty level (~$20,783/year for an individual). Covered services typically include medical detox, inpatient/residential rehab, outpatient counseling, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT). In addition to Medicaid, most private insurance plans — including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and Humana — are required by the Mental Health Parity Act to cover substance use disorder treatment at parity with medical care.

Substance use disorder affects approximately 8.9% of adults in the state (national average: 7.2%). Maine has enacted a Good Samaritan law that protects individuals who call 911 during an overdose emergency from certain criminal charges — encouraging bystanders to seek help.
