Does TRICARE Cover Mental Health Treatment and Dual Diagnosis Treatment Programs?TRICARE Covered Mental Health and Substance Abuse Treatment

Our clinicians understand that substance abuse rarely happens inside of a vacuum. One in four adults with a mental health issue also struggles with a substance use disorder, so we integrate treatment for both into every program. TRICARE covers both, so you’ll get simultaneous help with dual-diagnosis treatment for both.

We treat dual-diagnosis clients in our outpatient rehab as well as during an inpatient stay. After completing detox elsewhere, if needed, you can make a smooth transition into our comprehensive care plans.
