Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions — Georgia
Does Medicaid cover rehab in Georgia?
Traditional Georgia Medicaid covers SUD treatment for eligible enrollees (primarily pregnant women, children, and individuals with disabilities). The "Georgia Pathways" expansion adds limited coverage for some adults who meet work requirements. CCBHC programs and SOR funding fill gaps for those who don't qualify.
What if I don't have insurance in Georgia?
Community Service Boards (CSBs) serve uninsured Georgians with SAMHSA block grant and state funds. CCBHC clinics offer care regardless of ability to pay. SOR grants fund free OUD treatment for uninsured adults with opioid use disorder.
What is a Community Service Board (CSB)?
CSBs are DBHDD-funded behavioral health organizations covering all regions of Georgia. They provide outpatient mental health and SUD services on a sliding scale to uninsured and underinsured Georgians. Find your regional CSB at dbhdd.georgia.gov.
Are SOR grants available in Georgia?
Yes. Georgia receives federal SOR funding that supports expanded MAT access, recovery coaches, and OUD treatment at no cost to qualifying uninsured individuals. SOR services are specifically for opioid use disorder.
Is the opioid crisis affecting rural Georgia?
Yes. Rural Georgia communities, particularly in the south and Appalachian north, face high overdose rates with fewer treatment resources. SOR-funded mobile outreach and telehealth MAT programs are expanding access in rural areas. Call SAMHSA (1-800-662-4357) for a local referral.
