Medicare consists of different "Parts", with Parts A-D covering various kinds of care.
Part A (Insurance for Hospital Stays) - Medicare Part A pays for inpatient addiction treatment, and up to 60 days in treatment without a co-pay but individuals will have to pay a deductible. Medicare only pays for 190 days of inpatient care total, this applies to the person's lifetime.

It also pays for professional intervention services.
Part C (Medicare-approved Private Insurance) Medicare Part D is an alternative for people who want supplemental health insurance aside from what the other parts of Medicare have to offer.
