Insurance & Medicaid Coverage in Ohio

Ohio 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).
