Through the use of Medicare, senior adults in George West who are having difficulties with drug or alcohol addiction can avail themselves of numerous drug treatment centers which are available through their benefits. Quite a few outpatient facilities around the George West area are covered through Medicare, although senior adults may find that Medicare covers any hospital stays needed in the course of alcohol and drug rehabilitation such as an inpatient or residential program. Medicare covers a full spectrum of treatment for drug rehab in George West including therapy, education, followup programs, and other services as recommended by doctors while in rehab. A type of treatment which Medicare coverage does not cover is methadone maintenance treatment plans in the case of opiate dependence, so senior adults will be required to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab facility covered by means of Medicare which treats opiate dependence through other methods. Senior adults with Medicare can consult with their primary care physician or Medicare directly to determine which types of drug and alcohol treatment facilities are approved.
