Who Qualifies for Free Treatment

There's no single national rule. Each state runs its own publicly funded treatment system and sets its own eligibility rules. In West Virginia, West Virginia Department of Human Services, Bureau for Behavioral Health (BBH) oversees publicly funded substance use services.

Federal rules do set some priorities. Programs that get SAMHSA substance use block grant funds and serve women have to give pregnant women preference for admission. Funded programs that serve people who inject drugs give treatment preference in this order:

  1. Pregnant women who inject drugs
  2. Other pregnant women with a substance use disorder
  3. People who inject drugs
  4. Everyone else

A program that reports "no payment accepted" doesn't charge patients. Government-run programs may still bill insurance or use a sliding scale, and eligibility can depend on where you live, your income and whether you're insured. Ask before you go.

How to Apply in West Virginia

West Virginia Department of Human Services, Bureau for Behavioral Health (BBH) is the West Virginia agency for publicly funded substance use treatment. Visit the West Virginia Department of Human Services, Bureau for Behavioral Health (BBH) website for help finding treatment.

  1. Call a program from the list above. Ask whether it has openings, what it charges and whether you qualify for a reduced or no-cost fee.
  2. Have your ID, proof of income and any insurance or Medicaid card ready. Programs may ask for them at intake.
  3. If you don't have insurance, contact SAMHSA's National Helpline. It's free, confidential and open 24/7, and it can refer you to West Virginia Department of Human Services, Bureau for Behavioral Health (BBH), which handles state-funded treatment.
  4. If you might qualify for Medicaid, apply now rather than waiting. Apply for West Virginia Medicaid.

West Virginia Medicaid and Addiction Treatment

77 of the 86 West Virginia programs in our directory say they accept Medicaid, and 63 accept a state-financed health plan other than Medicaid.

State Medicaid programs cover addiction treatment to different degrees. Whether detox, residential care, outpatient programs or medication for opioid use disorder are covered depends on West Virginia's rules and your plan, so check with both the program and your plan. Check eligibility and apply.

In West Virginia, substance use treatment programs are licensed or certified by Office of Health Facility Licensure and Certification (OHFLAC), WV Office of Inspector General. Check the state's provider list.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is rehab free in West Virginia?

Some programs are. Of the 86 West Virginia programs in our directory, 1 reports that it accepts no payment, and 6 are run by a state, county, tribal or federal agency. Of the government-run programs, 4 are run by the VA, the Department of Defense or the Indian Health Service. Those programs serve only eligible veterans, military health system patients or American Indian and Alaska Native patients. Government-run programs can still bill insurance or charge on a sliding scale, so ask about cost when you call. If you have no insurance, SAMHSA's National Helpline (see samhsa.gov) can refer you to West Virginia Department of Human Services, Bureau for Behavioral Health (BBH), which handles state-funded treatment.

Does West Virginia Medicaid cover rehab?

77 of the 86 West Virginia programs in our directory say they accept Medicaid. State Medicaid programs cover addiction treatment to different degrees, so ask the program and your Medicaid plan which services are covered before you start.

How much does rehab cost without insurance?

It depends on the type of care, how long it lasts and the program itself. Outpatient care usually costs less than a residential stay. In West Virginia, 23 programs in our directory use a sliding fee scale based on income, and 33 offer payment assistance. Ask for the self-pay rate and whether you qualify for a reduced fee before you're admitted.

Who gets priority for state-funded treatment?

Under federal block grant rules, programs that get block grant funds and serve women must give pregnant women preference for admission. Funded programs that serve people who inject drugs give treatment preference in this order: pregnant women who inject drugs, other pregnant women with a substance use disorder, people who inject drugs, and then everyone else (45 CFR 96.131). Other eligibility rules vary by state, so ask the program or West Virginia Department of Human Services, Bureau for Behavioral Health (BBH).

What is the difference between a sliding fee scale and payment assistance?

A sliding fee scale sets what you pay based on your income and other factors. Payment assistance varies more: each program decides what help it offers, so ask what's available and what paperwork you'll need.

Are there options for veterans and tribal members?

Yes. Veterans can ask the VA about substance use treatment through VA health care. American Indian and Alaska Native people can contact the Indian Health Service or a tribal health program about alcohol and substance use services.
