TRICARE drug and alcohol rehab in Pennsylvania

We work with TRICARE for partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient and virtual IOP addiction treatment at our Phoenixville, Center City Philadelphia and Avondale offices.

Service members, retirees and military families get care built around what they carry: deployment history, trauma, chronic pain, and a culture that treats asking for help as weakness. It is not.

Care for the military community

Confidential by law

TRICARE and related coverage we work with

TRICARE reaches beneficiaries through several plans, and the rules differ by plan:

  • TRICARE Prime
  • TRICARE Select
  • TRICARE For Life
  • TRICARE Reserve Select
  • TRICARE Young Adult
  • VA Community Care

Plan names change and benefits vary by employer group, so the only way to know for certain is a live benefit check. We will run one for you at no cost and with no obligation.

How TRICARE covers substance use treatment

TRICARE covers medically necessary substance use disorder treatment, including partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs, when delivered by an authorized provider.

TRICARE Prime generally requires a referral and authorization through your primary care manager or regional contractor. TRICARE Select allows more direct access but may carry a cost share.

Active duty service members have specific command and referral requirements that differ from those for family members and retirees. We will tell you plainly what your plan requires before you commit to anything.

Many of the veterans we treat come through VA Community Care rather than TRICARE. If that is your route, we can verify it in the same call.

Not sure what your TRICARE plan covers? We will check it for you.

How we verify your TRICARE benefits

Free, confidential and usually finished the same day you call.

1. Call or request a check

Call (610) 233-4342 or take the free level-of-care assessment. It takes a few minutes.

2. Share your plan details

We need your member ID, date of birth and the name on the plan — nothing more.

3. We contact your insurer

Our admissions team runs the benefit check directly with the plan at no cost to you.

4. You get clear answers

We explain what is covered, what your share may be, and when you can start.

What TRICARE beneficiaries typically pay

Cost shares vary by plan, sponsor status and whether the care is referred and authorized. Active duty family members under Prime often have little or no cost share for authorized care; Select and Reserve Select plans usually have a deductible and copay.

We confirm the specifics with your regional contractor and give you the numbers before your first session — including anything that would not be covered.

What your benefits pay for

We track every client from admission to discharge with the BARC-10 recovery capital scale and the PHQ-9 / GAD-7 mental health screens. These are our own program results.

53%

of clients complete our PHP and IOP programs — vs. a national average near 26% for similar outpatient programs.

+9

point average gain on the BARC-10 recovery capital scale from admission to discharge.

-5.95

point average drop in combined PHQ-9 / GAD-7 anxiety and depression scores during treatment.

TRICARE questions

Does TRICARE cover drug and alcohol rehab in Pennsylvania?

TRICARE covers medically necessary substance use treatment, including PHP and IOP, at authorized providers. Call (610) 233-4342 and we will verify your plan and any referral requirement for free.

Do I need a referral to start treatment?

TRICARE Prime usually requires a referral and authorization; Select generally does not, though authorization may still apply to higher levels of care. We identify what your plan needs and coordinate it.

Will my command find out?

Rules differ for active duty service members versus family members and retirees, and we will explain exactly how confidentiality works for your status before you enroll. Civilian treatment records are protected by HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2.

Can veterans use VA Community Care here?

Yes, we work with VA Community Care in addition to TRICARE. If you are unsure which applies to you, we will help sort it out on the phone.

Do you treat PTSD along with addiction?

Yes. Our dual diagnosis program treats PTSD, depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder alongside substance use, because treating one without the other rarely holds.

Is virtual IOP available for military families?

Yes, for clinically appropriate Pennsylvania residents — helpful if you are far from our offices or expecting a move. We confirm telehealth coverage during verification.
