Cost and insurance coverage are critical barriers that often delay treatment. Elkton centers accept multiple payment methods:

• Medicaid — 7 centers accept Medicaid, Maryland's state health insurance for low-income individuals and families. For details on Medicaid coverage of substance use treatment in Maryland, see the Maryland rehab guide.
• State Substance Abuse Agency Funding — 7 centers work with Maryland's state substance abuse authority, which may provide or fund treatment slots for uninsured or underinsured residents.
• Cash and Self-Pay — All 8 centers accept private payment. Ask about sliding-scale fees or payment plans if cost is a concern.

Many employers also offer Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) that cover part or all of treatment. Check your benefits or ask the treatment center whether they can bill your insurance.
