Does Medicaid Pay for Rehab in Colorado?
Colorado Medicaid – officially called Health First Colorado – is a state and federally funded health insurance program that provides coverage for eligible low-income individuals and families. Under the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid is required to cover substance use disorder and mental health treatment as essential health benefits. That means if you qualify for Medicaid in Colorado, your addiction treatment is a covered service – not a privilege.
True North Recovery Services works with Health First Colorado to help Medicaid members access outpatient addiction and mental health treatment in Denver. Our team verifies your Medicaid coverage the same day you contact us.
