All Medicaid recipients who currently reside in Macomb County are eligible for the Medicaid Substance Abuse Services Plan managed by Macomb County Community Mental Health / Office of Substance Abuse (MCOSA). Services covered or permitted under the plan are outpatient, intensive outpatient, Methadone and residential treatment services. CARE provides access to Medicaid-covered substance abuse services.

Everyone receiving substance abuse services has certain rights protected by the State. If individuals have questions or concerns regarding substance abuse services provided by the Medicaid Plan, they can contact MCOSA for more information, or to file a written or verbal complaint. Medicaid recipients also are entitled to request a Fair Hearing with the Michigan Department of Community Health.

MCOSA subcontracts with a variety of licensed substance abuse agencies to provide specific substance abuse prevention and treatment services, to serve low income and uninsured individuals.
