Recovery Life Group is a drug rehab in-network with TRICARE Insurance for addiction treatment or mental health.
Drug and alcohol abuse can inhibit your brain function, cause medical complications and damage your relationships with loved ones. Intensive outpatient programs offer treatment and psychological testing for substance abuse disorders.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires your Defense Health Agency insurance provider to cover substance use treatment. As a result, TRICARE health insurance offers coverage for residential treatment, which may include outpatient treatment, inpatient services, partial hospitalization programs and medical care for withdrawal symptoms.
However, TRICARE health plans can vary in their coverage, and an out-of-network provider usually costs more than an in-network treatment center. Additionally, your plan might not cover what the insurance company views as unproven treatments.
What Is TRICARE Insurance?
TRICARE insurance is part of the military health system for active-duty service members, retired service members and their family members. Your location and United States military service status determine your eligibility for each plan.
TRICARE health plans include:
Others covered by TRICARE may include Medal of Honor recipients, former military spouses and National Guard members. A TRICARE representative can give you more information about your program.
TRICARE substance abuse treatment programs might cover some or all of your services, leaving few remaining costs for you. However, retired and active-duty service members must meet qualifications before they can start their TRICARE rehab program.
Understanding Your TRICARE Insurance Coverage
Before you start a residential or intensive outpatient program, you’ll need these qualifications:
- Receive a substance addiction diagnosis from a doctor
- Require substance use help without full-time hospitalization
- Need stabilization programs, such as a drug or alcohol detox
- Require psychological or psychiatric treatment
- Need more than an outpatient or aftercare program
Your TRICARE plan might need evidence, such as medical records, before giving you prior authorization. Additionally, your insurance plan might offer less coverage for non-network providers. Fortunately, Recovery Life Group programs accept TRICARE plans.
TRICARE health insurance may cover various substance abuse issues, including addictions to alcohol, heroin, cocaine, opioids, stimulants and prescription drugs. Aftercare is just as important as the medical program, so verify your coverage before attending treatment.
To learn more, you can compare TRICARE coverage on the official website. Choose plans from the drop-down box to evaluate them side by side.

Does TRICARE Cover Substance Abuse and Mental Health Treatment?
For many active and retired military members, their substance abuse disorder starts with a mental illness. Some return from service with depression, PTSD or anxiety. Others have preexisting conditions, such as personality disorders, schizophrenia, eating disorders and bipolar disorder.
These dual-diagnosis residents require mental health services to resolve the issues that caused their substance use disorder. Many don’t realize that they have a mental illness until they start inpatient rehab. People in uniformed services often feel pressured to “tough it out,” worsening the stigma.
Treatment centers offer a safe, quiet environment away from the stress contributing to mental disorders. Your covered services may include a diagnosis followed by medication, counseling, support groups and education. Afterward, your rehab center provides continuing support so you work with the same doctors after you graduate.
Civilian health is just as important, so verify that your insurance company covers family therapy. Relatives and significant others can join you to resolve relationship conflicts.
Why Use TRICARE Drug Rehab Coverage at Recovery Life Group?
Veterans and active-duty members have unique challenges that require a military-centered approach. Individuals in combat zones can witness death, destruction, violence and war crimes. Others struggle underneath the intense, 24-hour pressure of military life. Additionally, injured veterans can develop opioid addictions after doctors prescribe painkillers.
