Medicare accepted alcohol and drug rehab facilities accept this kind of medical insurance that's supplied exclusively to older Americans and people with specific disabilities and long-term illnesses. There are a few different kinds of Medicare, and the kind of rehabilitation which is covered in a Medicare accepted alcohol and drug treatment program depends upon the kind of Medicare an individual is covered under. For example, Medicare Part A covers inpatient drug rehab programs when the treatment client needs hospitalization to deal with their drug abuse issue. Individuals covered by Medicare Part A will be responsible for the normal cost they would need to pay for any other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab in a Medicare accepted program, and whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover the person will need to pay for themselves or through some other type of supplemental insurance. People who need rehab for drug abuse can't use their Medicare health insurance at just any program, and they're going to need to seek out a Medicare accepted program unless they would like to self-pay for their treatment. Medicare provides a directory of Medicare accepted treatment providers to make the job of finding a Medicare accepted facility a little bit easier.
