Medicare can help cover addiction treatment, but not every center accepts it or offers the level of care your family member needs. SAMHSA's FindTreatment.gov listings show 70 facilities in the Los Angeles area that accept Medicare. Of those, 35 offer detox, 15 provide residential care, 24 have intensive outpatient programs, 57 offer general outpatient services, and 55 provide buprenorphine for opioid use disorder. These numbers give you a starting point, but you'll still need to call and confirm details.

When you first call a treatment center, ask point-blank whether it takes Medicare and how much it covers. Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) generally pays for treatment that is medically necessary, though private Medicare Advantage plans set their own terms. Medicare covers alcohol and drug treatment in Los Angeles centers when medical necessity is documented. If something is unclear, our helpline is free and can help you out weigh options. The people who answer are connected with licensed providers and can confirm which programs take Medicare, but they cannot guarantee a bed or coverage.
