We are able to accept a wide variety of funding sources, as well as Virginia Medicaid, for detox, stabilization, and rehabilitation services.
Using Medicaid to Pay for Care at Galax
To ensure that the greatest number of Virginia residents can benefit from comprehensive residential treatment at Life Center of Galax, we are proud to accept patients who will be using Virginia Medicaid to pay for their care.
In April 2017, the Virginia Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) announced the creation of an expanded substance abuse treatment benefit for residents who qualify for Medicaid. This expanded benefit, which is known as Addiction and Recovery Treatment Services (ARTS), allows residents to use Virginia Medicaid to pay for a variety of addiction treatment services. Among the authorized services under ARTS is short-term residential treatment, which DMAS defines as 30 days or less.
Life Center of Galax applauds the decision to expand access to care for Medicaid recipients who have been struggling with substance abuse and chemical dependency, and we encourage anyone who has questions about whether or not they qualify for such services to contact us at their convenience.
