About TRICARE for Drug Rehab
At America’s Rehab Campuses, we understand that navigating healthcare options can feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to accessing addiction treatment. That’s why we want to ensure you have all the information you need about TRICARE Insurance. As a health insurance program for military service members, veterans, and their families, TRICARE provides comprehensive coverage for a wide range of services, including addiction treatment. Whether you’re seeking detox, inpatient rehab, or outpatient care, TRICARE has you covered. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how TRICARE works and how you can use your benefits to begin your recovery journey.
Those who have TRICARE and who need help recovering from drug and alcohol abuse may receive partial or full coverage for the following addiction treatment services:
- Inpatient residential drug and alcohol rehab,
- Medical detox,
- Medication-assisted treatment,
- Opioid treatment,
- Dual diagnosis and co-occurring disorders treatment,
- Partial hospitalization programs, and
- Intensive outpatient programs.
TRICARE only covers addiction treatment services that are medically necessary, which means the services must be proven, reasonable, appropriate, and sufficient for treating your condition. TRICARE does not provide coverage for aversion therapy or unproven addiction treatments.
Does TRICARE Cover Drug & Alcohol Rehab?
Yes, TRICARE covers a variety of substance abuse treatments, including medically necessary drug and alcohol rehab services. Since 1966, insurance providers, including TRICARE, have been required to cover mental health and addiction treatment under federal law. This includes evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), detoxification, and inpatient rehab services. TRICARE has a longstanding commitment to providing high-quality care for service members and their families struggling with addiction, and we’re here to help you take full advantage of that coverage.
Using TRICARE for Medical Drug Detox
TRICARE covers detoxification services for those withdrawing from drugs and alcohol. Detoxification, also known as medical detox, helps you safely withdraw from substances so you face a reduced risk for related complications such as seizures, dehydration, and malnutrition.
Those with TRICARE who suffer from opioid use disorder may also qualify to receive medication-assisted treatment—a detox method that involves the use of medications like buprenorphine that relieve or eliminate opioid withdrawal symptoms. This option is ideal for those who need medical support without close monitoring and 24-hour care, and who are receiving treatment from a TRICARE authorized provider that has certification from the DEA to prescribe buprenorphine.
Using TRICARE for Inpatient Drug Rehab
TRICARE covers inpatient residential treatment that takes place in safe, highly structured, 24-hour medical environments. Inpatient drug and alcohol rehab offers a range of therapies that treat co-occurring mental health disorders like depression, and that help you modify behaviors and thought processes that may be driving your addiction. Inpatient drug rehab is ideal for those who need help establishing healthy daily routines after having structured their lives around drug and alcohol use.
TRICARE may cover some or all costs associated with inpatient drug rehab for those who meet the following criteria:
- Being over 21 years of age,
- Being unable to function in the community with outpatient rehab,
- Do not require full-time hospitalization,
- Suffer from a co-occurring disorder such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder, and
- Suffer from a serious impairment that interferes with day-to-day functioning.
In-Network vs Out-of-Network Providers
When seeking treatment through TRICARE, it’s important to understand the difference between in-network and out-of-network providers. In-network facilities have a formal agreement with TRICARE, meaning you’ll generally pay lower out-of-pocket costs. Out-of-network providers may still be an option, but keep in mind that they could come with higher copayments and additional fees. At America’s Rehab Campuses, we’re proud to be in-network with TRICARE, ensuring that your treatment is both top-quality and affordable. Our team will work with you to maximize your benefits and minimize any unexpected costs.
How to Verify TRICARE Benefits
Before you begin your addiction treatment journey, it’s essential to verify your TRICARE benefits. Verifying your coverage ensures that you’re receiving the right treatment under the best possible conditions, including understanding any copayments or out-of-pocket expenses. At America’s Rehab Campuses, we make this process easy by offering a simple and confidential insurance verification service. Our team will confirm your benefits directly with TRICARE so you can start treatment with confidence, knowing exactly what to expect financially.
