Medicare Addiction Treatment Coverage

Medicare provides coverage for substance abuse treatment under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act. This means Medicare plans must cover addiction treatment at levels comparable to medical and surgical benefits.

Coverage typically includes medical detoxification, residential treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient programs, outpatient counseling, and medication-assisted treatment. Pre-authorization may be required for residential programs. Contact our admissions team at (855) 763-5140 for a free, confidential benefits verification.

Out-of-pocket costs depend on your specific plan — deductibles, copays, and out-of-network rates vary. In-network facilities generally cost less. Our team can help identify Medicare-accepting centers that match your clinical needs and minimize your financial responsibility.
