“ Medicaid helps me remain in recovery, allowing me to help others access the care they need to do the same.”
Jason severely injured his back while working as an audio technician. He was prescribed opioids, which led him to develop a substance-use disorder.
While covered by Medicaid, Jason enrolled in a recovery program and re-entered the workforce. He found a new calling as a peer support leader for people with behavioral health disorders.
Jason continues to access the care he needs to remain in recovery, like physical and behavioral therapy, through Medicaid.
