Through the use of Medicare, seniors in Trinidad who are having difficulties with drug or alcohol addiction can avail themselves of quite a few drug rehab facilities which are covered by their health coverage. Numerous outpatient facilities around the Trinidad area are covered through Medicare, but seniors will also find that Medicare provides coverage for hospitalization required in the course of drug and alcohol treatment such as with an inpatient or residential program. Medicare provides coverage for a wide spectrum of treatment for drug and alcohol rehabilitation in Trinidad such as counseling, training, aftercare plans, and other treatment solutions as deemed necessary by medical professionals while in treatment. A type of treatment which Medicare coverage does not cover is methadone maintenance treatment plans for treatment of opiate dependence, so senior adults will be required to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment center covered through Medicare that addresses opiate addiction through other methods. Senior adults with Medicare can consult with their primary care physician or their plan directly to distinguish what types of drug treatment programs are covered.
