We Want to Send Our Mom to Drug Rehab. She Has Medicare. How Do We Find if She Qualifies and Find a Provider?
Question by Fergdidly: We want to send our mom to drug rehab. She has Medicare. How do we find if she qualifies and find a provider?
We searched the web. What we did find is that people with Medicare can “qualify” for drug rehab. But what are the qualifications and how do we locate a rehab center close to her home that will accept Medicare? We seached the Medicare website with no luck. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I would contact the social service office near you. They have the information you need regarding mental health.
There’s this link also, not sure if you’ve checked it out already or not
