Using Medicare, seniors in Orange who are struggling with drug or alcohol addiction can take advantage of quite a few drug and alcohol treatment centers which are covered by their health coverage. Quite a few outpatient programs around the Orange area provide services using Medicare, although seniors will also find that Medicare covers any hospital stays required in the course of drug and alcohol rehabilitation such as an inpatient or residential facility. Medicare covers a wide spectrum of treatment for drug and alcohol rehab in Orange including therapy, education, aftercare programs, and other services as recommended by physicians while in treatment. A type of treatment which Medicare coverage does not cover is methadone maintenance programs in the case of opiate dependence, so seniors will need to find a drug treatment program covered through Medicare which treats opiate dependence through other means. Senior adults with Medicare can speak with their doctor or Medicare directly to differentiate which types of drug treatment facilities are approved.
