Using Medicare, senior adults in Meridian who are having difficulties with drug or alcohol addiction can avail themselves of many alcohol and drug treatment programs which are available through their benefits. Many outpatient centers around the Meridian area provide services using Medicare, but senior adults may find that Medicare covers any hospital stays necessary in the course of drug rehabilitation such as with an inpatient or residential center. Medicare provides coverage for a full array of treatment for drug and alcohol rehabilitation in Meridian including counseling, training, followup programs, and other services as recommended by medical professionals in the course of rehab. One of the things which Medicare coverage does not cover is methadone maintenance treatment plans for treatment of opiate addiction, so seniors will be required to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab center covered through Medicare that addresses opiate addiction through other means. Senior adults with Medicare can speak with their doctor or Medicare directly to determine what types of drug rehabilitation programs are covered.
