Using Medicare, seniors in Flint who are having difficulties with drug addiction can avail themselves of quite a few drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which are covered by their insurance. A lot of outpatient programs around the Flint area provide services using Medicare, although seniors may find that Medicare provides coverage for hospitalization necessary during alcohol and drug treatment such as an inpatient or residential program. Medicare provides coverage for a full spectrum of treatment for drug and alcohol treatment in Flint including counseling, training, aftercare plans, and other treatment solutions as deemed necessary by medical professionals while in treatment. One of the things which Medicare coverage does not cover is methadone maintenance treatment plans for treatment of opiate addiction, so senior adults will be required to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab center covered through Medicare that addresses opiate addiction through other means. Seniors with Medicare can consult with their primary care physician or Medicare directly to determine which types of alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs are approved.
