Medicaid Savings In comparison of medical expenses for welfare clients in Washington State it was determined that substance abuse treatment was associated with a reduction in expenses of $2,500 per year. In reviewing selected beneficiaries in Oregon s Medicaid program, researchers concluded that eliminating the substance abuse benefit led to increased medical expenditures. A review of over 1,000 patients in a Sacramento chemical dependency program noted a substantial decline in hospital (35%), emergency room (39%), and total medical costs (26%) when compared to a control group.
