Paying for Alcohol and Drug Rehab in Quincy, Massachusetts

You have several options to help cover the cost of drug or alcohol rehab in Quincy. Many local addiction treatment centers take private or public health insurance, and virtually all take self-pay. Some also offer payment assistance in the form of sliding fees or scholarships for financially eligible individuals. If you can’t pay for rehab, you may qualify for free treatment at a handful of local facilities that provide short-term and long-term services at little to no cost.

Paying for Rehab With Private Insurance

If you have a health plan from a private insurer or through your employer, it should provide some degree of coverage for addiction treatment under the Affordable Care Act.5 If it does, you may be able to use your insurance to significantly reduce or even eliminate your treatment costs at several Quincy drug rehabs and alcohol rehabs. Within 10 miles of the city, you’ll find at least 60 rehab centers that take private insurance from various providers, including Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, and many others.6

To verify your coverage at local facilities, you can search online for “alcohol rehabs near me” or “drug rehabs near me” to find rehab centers in your area. Then call each treatment center in your search results to ask whether they take your plan and what it will pay for.

Paying for Rehab With Medicaid or Medicare

Both Massachusetts Medicaid (MassHealth) and Medicare plans cover various medically necessary outpatient and inpatient addiction treatment services, including:7, 8

  • Inpatient rehab
  • Outpatient rehab
  • Medications for opioid- or alcohol-use disorders (medication-assisted treatment)
  • Individual and group counseling or therapy
  • Assessments and treatment referrals
  • Some telehealth services

If you have either of these plans, you can use your coverage to pay for treatment at Medicare- and Medicaid-approved facilities in Quincy and the surrounding areas. Within 10 miles of the city, you’ll find 80 drug rehab centers that take Medicaid and at least 50 that take Medicare.6

Be aware that your extent of coverage will depend on the plan you have and the services you need. Your coverage may also depend on whether a licensed healthcare provider has recommended specific treatment services to aid your recovery.

Low-Cost and Free Treatment Options Near Quincy

Whether you need some help paying for rehab or can’t pay at all, you can still access quality treatment and support services. Depending on your level of financial need, you may be eligible for reduced-cost or free treatment at one of the following types of rehab centers:
