Using Medicare, seniors in Conejos who are having difficulties with addiction can take advantage of many drug and alcohol treatment programs which are covered by their health coverage. Many outpatient programs around the Conejos area are covered through Medicare, although seniors may find that Medicare provides coverage for hospitalization needed in the course of drug rehab such as an inpatient or residential facility. Medicare covers a wide array of services for drug and alcohol treatment in Conejos such as counseling, education, aftercare programs, and other services as deemed necessary by doctors in the course of rehab. A type of treatment which Medicare coverage does not cover is methadone maintenance treatment plans in the case of opiate dependence, so seniors will be required to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment program covered by means of Medicare which treats opiate dependence through other means. Senior adults with Medicare can consult with their physician or Medicare directly to differentiate what types of drug rehabilitation facilities are covered.
