Through Medicare, seniors in Lubbock who are having difficulties with drug addiction can avail themselves of quite a few drug rehabilitation programs which are covered by their benefits. Numerous outpatient centers around the Lubbock area are covered through Medicare, but senior adults may find that Medicare provides coverage for hospital stays necessary in the course of drug rehabilitation such as an inpatient or residential facility. Medicare covers a full spectrum of treatment for drug and alcohol rehab in Lubbock including counseling, education, followup plans, and other services as recommended by medical professionals in the course of treatment. One of the things 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 an alcohol and drug rehab center covered through Medicare which treats opiate dependence through other means. Senior adults with Medicare can speak with their doctor or Medicare directly to determine which types of drug and alcohol treatment programs are covered.
