Arizona Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs That Accept Medicare

Medicare can help eligible enrollees who have been plagued by drug and alcohol addiction to pay all or part of their treatment. Data from HealthInsurance.org indicates that over 1.2 million Arizona residents are enrolled in Medicare, nearly forty percent of whom have Advantage Plans. Medicare access can help patients over 65 as well as disabled enrollees who have been impacted by alcohol and drug use disorder. Data from Kaiser Family Foundation indicates that nearly 230 Arizona seniors died of opioid use disorder. Additionally, many struggle with sleeping pills, alcohol, benzodiazepines and more. In a somewhat cruel irony, this population also lives on a fixed income, making it incredibly hard for them to pay for treatment on their own.

What Type of Treatment Services Does Medicare Cover?

Depending upon the scope of patients’ Medicare plans, and whether they have Advantage Plans or Part D coverage, Medicare could cover a variety of treatment services, including outpatient and partial hospitalization treatment, medically supervised detox, post-treatment psychiatric therapy and medication-assisted treatment for opioid and alcohol use disorder. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) commonly includes drugs like Suboxone (buprenorphine and Naloxone), Vivitrol (monthly injectable naltrexone) and methadone. Medicare can also help individuals with disabilities who have been impacted by substance abuse through self-medicating with painkillers, benzos and other drugs; this group faces a unique set of circumstances that render them at increased vulnerability to addiction.
