Louisiana

Louisiana supports only limited insurance parity legislation, which means that in most cases insurance companies are not required to fund addiction treatment equally to physical health treatment. Unfortunately, in some cases even people with very comprehensive private health insurance will find that their allotted coverage does not meet the costs of private drug and alcohol treatment.

Fortunately, Louisiana boasts several free or very affordable drug and alcohol rehabs; drug rehabs that will provide services to all in need regardless of an ability to pay for care. Additionally, the state will often subsidize drug and alcohol treatment for those without insurance, and in many cases, even if you are not eligible for Medicaid, you may still be eligible for Louisiana funded drug rehab.
