老年人心理健康资源
If you or a loved one have Medicare, it can pay for both mental health and substance use disorder services. Medicare covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment and prescription drugs to support your mental health needs. It also covers treatment for alcoholism and substance use disorders in outpatient and inpatient settings. This is true whether you are enrolled in fee-for-service Medicare (i.e., Original Medicare) or a Medicare Advantage health plan. In California, there are other behavioral health resources that may be available to you depending on your needs. More information about mental health resources is available from Medicare.

心理健康服务可以如何帮助我？
心理健康是整体健康的重要组成部分，会影响您的感觉、想法和行为。 如果您可能患有心理健康问题，请知道您并不孤单：每年大约有五分之一的成年人会患上某种类型的精神疾病，而且许多成年人同时患有物质使用障碍和精神疾病。 心理健康服务可以提供一个安全的空间来讨论问题，协助您建立支持网络，并改善整体生活质量，从而帮助您克服障碍。
如果您遇到心理健康危机，请拨打或发短信至 988 或聊天988lifeline 。 如遇紧急医疗危机，请拨打 911。
If you have Medicare, mental health and substance use disorder services are available to you. To access Medicare-covered services, speak to your primary care provider or mental health provider, or use the Provider Compare tool on the Medicare website to find a provider who accepts Medicare.
