Drug and alcohol abuse can impact every part of your life. Your health, relationships, and mental health can suffer as addictive substances become the center of your life. Addiction is a total loss of control over your substance use, but comprehensive treatment can help you regain control and work toward the healthier future you choose.
Holistic addiction treatment can help people overcome the complex roots of addiction and learn to maintain sobriety for life. However, most people living with addiction never seek treatment, even when the consequences become life-threatening.
Worrying about the cost of treatment can prevent people from seeking help when they need it. However, if you have private or public insurance, including Simply Healthcare Medicaid, your plan is likely to cover some or all of the cost of rehab.

What is Simply Healthcare Medicaid?
Medicaid is public health insurance. People with low incomes can apply for Medicaid programs to help them access healthcare.[1]
Simply Healthcare Medicaid programs provide coverage for low-income individuals in Florida. Simply Healthcare plans cover:
- Doctor visits
- Medical care
- Substance abuse treatment
- Non Emergency transportation services

Simply Healthcare members also have access to a range of other benefits, including a 24/7 nurse helpline, a healthy behaviors reward program, and more.
Simply Healthcare provides high-quality medical care to people in Florida who meet eligibility requirements.
Does Simply Healthcare Medicaid Pay for Rehab?
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires all public and private insurance plans to cover costs associated with mental health and substance abuse treatment.[2] Simply Healthcare plans do cover the cost of rehab and other recovery-related treatments.
Simply Healthcare Medicaid provides a high level of support for people living with substance use disorder (SUD). If you have a Simply Healthcare plan, you will likely need a formal SUD diagnosis before beginning treatment to obtain coverage.
If you or a loved one struggles with drug or alcohol abuse, you must take action. Here are some steps you can take to start the recovery process right away:
- Talk to your doctor about substance use. Your doctor may perform a substance abuse evaluation, which includes questions about your substance use, family history of addiction, and mental health history.
- Find treatment. An addiction specialist or medical provider can recommend the level of treatment that will meet your needs. Find a treatment center that provides the care you require.
- Contact Archstone Recovery for guidance. Our experienced staff can help you find the right treatment and support to overcome addiction.

What Levels of Care Does Simply Healthcare Medicaid Cover?
Medicaid is a public health insurance option that provides coverage for medical and mental health treatment. Simply Healthcare Medicaid provides health insurance coverage for low-income people living in Florida.
Medicaid covers many levels of addiction treatment and rehab services. Here is an overview of what levels of care may be covered by your Simply Healthcare Medicaid plan.
Detox
Detox is often the first step of recovery. Detox treatment plans may include medications, emotional support, mental health treatment, and other therapies. This care can help you have a safe, complete detox.
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT)
Medication-assisted treatment can help you get and stay sober. During a MAT program, you will receive medications, counseling, mental health treatment, education, and other evidence-based care to keep you on track in recovery.
Inpatient and outpatient rehab programs
Many people begin in an inpatient rehab program and later transition into an outpatient program. There are several levels of outpatient rehab, including partial hospitalization programs (PHP) and intensive outpatient programs (IOP).
Before beginning treatment, you will undergo a substance abuse evaluation to determine which level of treatment you need to recover.
Your Simply Healthcare Medicaid plan will likely cover some or all recovery-related expenses. However, it is crucial to check the specific details of your plan to understand which services and programs it will cover.
