Do Rehabs in Nevada Accept TRICARE?
TRICARE may cover rehab for drug and alcohol addiction depending on your plan and individual needs. Generally, TRICARE may be able to cover at least some of the cost of medical detox, inpatient or outpatient rehab, or more long-term residential treatment programs. There are many rehab facilities in Nevada that accept TRICARE, but coverage will depend on the specific provider and your health plan.
What Substance Abuse Treatment Will TRICARE Cover?
TRICARE will often cover drug or alcohol addiction treatment for its members. There are many different forms of mental health and substance abuse treatment, but TRICARE will review your case to determine which program is better suited. TRICARE plans typically cover:
- Detox – Helps with the withdrawal process and aids in getting rid of the harmful substances in your body. A medical detox uses medications or therapies to help you manage any potentially harmful side effects.
- Inpatient or Residential Treatment – Patients will stay at the rehabilitation facility 24/7 and receive care from addiction treatment professionals. You may attend one-on-one or group therapy sessions to help in your recovery process.
- Outpatient Rehab Treatment – If an addiction is not severe or a patient is transitioning from an inpatient center, outpatient rehab is sometimes the more appropriate option. Patients will be able to attend work or school and receive treatment for a specific number of hours per week.
- Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) – A patient may receive medications or behavioral interventions to minimize cravings. This will depend on the patient and the specific substance that has been abused.
- Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) – Sometimes referred to as day treatment, PHPs have a similar treatment intensity and daily structure to an inpatient or residential program but they do not require a patient to stay overnight. Partial hospitalization may include family meetings, medical services, and treatment of co-occurring disorders.
Does TRICARE Cover Mental Health & Co-Occurring Disorder Treatment in Nevada?
