Through Medicare, seniors in Tatum who are having difficulties with addiction can avail themselves of many alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities which are covered by their insurance. Many outpatient centers around the Tatum area are covered through Medicare, but seniors will also find that Medicare provides coverage for hospitalization required in the course of alcohol and drug rehab such as with an inpatient or residential program. Medicare provides coverage for a full array of treatment for alcohol and drug rehab in Tatum such as counseling, education, followup programs, and other services as recommended by medical professionals while in rehabilitation. A type of treatment which Medicare plans do not cover is methadone maintenance programs for treatment of opiate dependence, so senior adults will need to find a drug and alcohol treatment program covered by means of Medicare that addresses opiate addiction through other means. Senior adults with Medicare can consult with their doctor or their plan directly to differentiate which types of drug and alcohol rehab programs are approved.
