Does TRICARE Cover Drug and Alcohol Rehab?
TRICARE provides coverage for substance use disorder treatment when medically necessary, although the services covered and requirements for accessing care depend on your specific plan and beneficiary status.
TRICARE may cover rehab and other forms of substance abuse treatment, including outpatient levels of care when they meet applicable coverage requirements.
Levels of Care
NuView provides structured outpatient treatment for individuals who need support addressing substance use while continuing to live at home.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
PHP provides a structured level of outpatient care for substance use concerns, with treatment delivered throughout the day. It offers more support than traditional outpatient care while allowing you to return home outside of treatment hours.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
IOP provides structured treatment for substance use while allowing participants to maintain more of their regular daily responsibilities. The frequency and intensity of care are designed around clinical needs.
Telehealth
For eligible California residents, telehealth can provide access to substance use treatment through secure virtual services.
What We Treat

NuView provides intensive outpatient treatment for substance use disorders, including:
- Alcohol use disorder
- Opioid use disorder, including heroin and fentanyl use
- Stimulant use disorder, including cocaine, methamphetamine, and prescription stimulants
- Benzodiazepine use disorder
- Cannabis use disorder
- Kratom use disorder
We provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for alcohol use and opioid use disorders, and offer medication management services, if needed.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Substance use concerns can occur alongside mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or trauma-related symptoms. When both are present, addressing them together can be an important part of treatment.
TRICARE Coverage for Military Families
Eligible adult spouses and adult dependents who are registered as TRICARE beneficiaries may be able to use their coverage for outpatient drug and alcohol treatment at NuView. Coverage, referral, and authorization requirements can vary, so our team can verify the benefits that apply to your family member.
Referrals and Authorizations for Substance Use Treatment
Referral and authorization requirements depend on your TRICARE plan, beneficiary status, and the type of care you need.
Care for drug and alcohol use may require a referral or authorization, depending on your TRICARE plan and how TriWest, the West Region contractor, handles it.
These structured outpatient levels of care may also have their own requirements, depending on your plan and TriWest.
Our admissions team verifies what applies to your coverage and helps you through any required steps before treatment begins.
What to Expect: Costs & Copays
Your out-of-pocket costs for TRICARE drug and alcohol treatment depend on your specific plan, beneficiary status, network requirements, and the type of care you receive.
