TriWest Health Insurance Coverage For Drug Rehab
Discover how TriWest supports veterans with addiction treatment options through the Community Care Network. Verify coverage today.
Triwest is a part of the VA health system’s Community Care Network (CCN). The CCN is divided into five regions and Triwest is the third party administrator for regions 4 and 5.
The Community Care Network enables veterans to obtain healthcare outside of a VA facility when certain eligibility requirements are met. This is especially important when individuals do not live near a VA facility or need care that their VA facility does not provide. It’s also helpful for specialized care or when the wait is too long for a needed appointment.
Referrals must be obtained from the veteran’s primary care provider within the VA system for care with a CCN to be covered. Failure to obtain a referral could result in non payment.

I think this is a wonderful rehab, the facilities are beautiful, the food is amazing (I have never even had food this good at a restaurant), and above all they have really helped my husband. Obviously anyone that first goes to rehab isn’t happy with their situation but in just two short months he was a changed person. The work they have them do on themselves got him to finally see why drugs and alcohol are no way of life. He’s finally sober and actually enjoying it! This rehab helped him so much he actually chose to stay LONGER, and I am for once excited for what the future can bring.

My experience here throughout my last few months has completely changed my whole outlook on life. Before I got here I thought my life was going towards the end. My body was failing and mental state was terrible. Every part of the program touches on every aspect of the addicts life. Now that I have finished the program and started living daily life with all of the gains I got throughout the program, failure isn’t an option. I know I can truly be happy sober now. I finally gained back the love and support from my life partner and best friend I always knew was still there. My mom also believes in me again which is so important to me. The possibilities and happiness are endless now. Thank you Elevate.
The staff truly cares about their patients and provided care that met my needs. The whole program exceeded my expectations and I can't thank everyone enough for the impact they made on my life and mental health. Deciding to seek treatment was not an easy thing for me but I am so glad I chose Footprints to Recovery. It wasn't all just sitting around doing therapy all day and we got the chance to do yoga, art and music therapy, and also go outdoors with Adventure Recovery. If you are considering treatment I highly encourage you to invest in yourself and give Footprints a call!

Footprints was an absolutely stellar facility to go to after completing inpatient addiction treatment. The staff were all very patient and understanding during my biggest ups and downs during treatment, and I never felt any judgement even at my lowest points.
Recovery is such a serious rock to carry but the groups and providers helped me collect the tools necessary to be able to tackle this journey on my own.
The nursing team was incredibly helpful in finding me medications that are actually helping my mental health and addiction cravings. I've had more success in the three months I got to share with Footprints than the years I've worked with my primary care and therapist.
Andrew with case management is hilarious and hugely helpful with resources and managing work and life alongside treatment.
Anika is an incredible therapist and I am sad to leave her care, but know she will continue to do amazing things for other clients.
If you are struggling with any substance abuse, I highly recommend seeking help with Footprints. They will absolutely get you back on your feet.

I cannot thank DFC enough for my recovery experience. I've been to rehab before and nothing compares to the tools and recovery that Joseph and the entire staff at DFC was able to offer me. I feel confident moving forward that there will be much light in my life ahead. If you are seeking help, I strongly recommend Design For Change. Thank you for everything.

I have struggled with alcohol abuse for the last three years and this was the ONE place out of 23 treatment centers that finally worked. Nobody ever thought they would see me sober, but today I can say I am, thanks to Sober Life. I was a frequent relapser, just barely making it by, and when I decided to seek treatment through Sober Life a whole new world opened for me. The team at Sober Life cares. I felt valued, I felt empowered, understood and heard. After being in and out of so many treatment centers I found myself fatigued, but through my process with Sober Life I actually wanted to continue my program as long as I could. I WANTED to be there and I've learned a life I never knew possible thanks to the team there. I can say that this program likely saved my life, and showed me a new life that I could never have imagined. The support and understanding was beyond belief. I felt so safe there. I've made friendships with a lot of my peers from groups as well. Which I never wanted to do before. Recovery can be difficult to begin, scary to start, but Sober Life feels SAFE. I'm not the type to write reviews, but I know how hard I struggled and for anyone reading this or questioning a start, I highly recommend this team. I am eternally grateful for my experience there.

Sober life has been one of the best experiences in my life! I came in not really sure what I wanted out of treatment and scared to really connect with people and have them see me in my weaker moments. All of the staff at sober life loved me through these issues and helped me get to a place where I felt safe and comfortable enough to communicate what was really going on with me, and gave me the tools I needed to be able to deal with things as they came up on a daily basis. Anytime I was a little off or lost any amount of momentum, they noticed immediately and did whatever they could to make sure I continued my progress and that even though addiction is a lonely disease, it became a lot easier to believe I wasnt alone and recovery is possible. It wasn't complicated at all, they handle the insurance stuff for you so you can focus and prioritize your recovery over anything else. Kimberly, Dan, Ashley, and Kelley have all been huge grounding stones in my recovery, showing up every time and helping me make solutions out of chaos. Having all of these amazing, kind, and extremely dependable people in my life has kept me steady and also taught me what having people around who genuinely love you, want the best for you, and who celebrate your achievements and help you through your downfalls looks like. Like any recovery program, you have to want it and put in your own effort, but they make the weight just lighter enough that it seems much more attainable.

I use to go to denton clinic last year and even years ago and I was honestly struggling very hard to keep up with payments and Im not here to bash... I blame myself for not communicating better. At the time I was forced to leave my denton home and stay with family in the colony and had to drive every day Mon thru Fri to denton. I finally tried looking for some place closer and thank the Lord He led me here. I called and they asked about insurance which I gave all my info about. I seriously had doubts that it would be of any help. Years ago methadone wasnt covered easily by insurance...
But they made my day when they told me yep they take my insurance which is through marketplace. AND I would not have to pay anything out of pocket!! I was singing and dancing. Been here ever since. Even when I messed up and missed open enrollment, they still worked with me without insurance... i was so worried but everyone reassured me that they would find a way to help me here and they did. Everyone is SO NICE also. Love it here.

Windmill Wellness Ranch is an amazing facility with even more amazing staff.
Their approach to rehabilitation is multifaceted and holistic. Support from dedicated therapists and recovery coaches as well as 24-hour staff combined with individually focused medical, nutrition, fitness, and spiritual aspects provide an amazing impetus for recovery and a strong foundation for continued success.
WWR uses a tired approach to recovery, providing care and treatment at all levels allowing clients to develop healthy life skills that will support their recovery and overall wellbeing as they transition back into everyday life.
The fellowship and community achieved here continues after treatment with alumni events and open meetings. Recovery is celebrated and remains a continued focus.
The staff are knowledgeable and truly care about the clientele. This facility deserves all of the praise it has received and will forever be remembered by me as a cornerstone of my recovery journey.

I can’t say enough good things about Windmill Wellness Ranch. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcomed, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. Everyone there goes above and beyond to help, and you can tell they truly care about each person’s recovery journey.
The accommodations were clean, peaceful, and made it easy to focus on healing and personal growth. The atmosphere is supportive, positive, and encouraging every single day. The staff is absolutely amazing — compassionate, professional, understanding, and always willing to help however they can.
If you or a loved one is looking for a treatment center with caring people and a strong recovery environment, I highly recommend Windmill Wellness Ranch. Truly grateful for my experience there.
As a private practice physician with three board certifications working in the fields of psychiatry and addiction medicine, I was always vigilant about getting to know the treatment centers in my community. I took unpaid time off to visit facilities in person, and meet with the owners, medical staff, and counselors. I was so disheartened by the status quo, which seemed to be nothing more than overly priced housing with a few AA meetings thrown in, and nefarious billing practices were commonplace at the time. A colleague brought me to Tree House Recovery, telling me it was different. Again I walked into a room of men, waiting for the pitch I’d heard dozens of times. It never came. In that room I found curiosity, knowledge, conviction, community. Vechi gave his pitch, but it was for an entirely different game. I spoke at length with the founder Justin about the neurochemistry of addiction, and the non-medication approaches to healing brains and bodies ravaged by impulsive and compulsive addictive behaviors. He got it. He preached it. I started sending patients. My patients disappeared. I’d call Tree House concerned about relapse and be told, “X is doing great! He’s still sober. He doesn’t need you anymore.” Music to my ears. Over my years of practice I “lost” many patients to THR. Vechi became my go-to phone call and was always available for my referrals. They kept in touch with me. They taught the patients I sent how to be themselves again—or for the first time! They don’t believe in recovery, they believe in life.

I absolutely love Tree House. Their staff is truly one of a kind. I’ve had the opportunity to work with them professionally, but I also have several close friends who went through their program, had an incredible experience, and are still sober today. The sense of community and support they provide is unlike anything I’ve seen anywhere else.
I recently found out that a family member was struggling with addiction. I was so lost and confused on where to start. Thankfully Conor at Pacific Sands was one of my first calls. He made me feel heard and understood exactly what I was going through. He gave me really great advice and knowledge on addiction. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to go with them because of insurance reasons but, he was very helpful, attentive and reassuring. If pacific sands is anything like Conor than I know anyone who comes here will be in great hands.

The atmosphere at Acqua Recovery is one of hope and transformation. The staff encourages you to push your boundaries and embrace new ways of thinking and living. They provide not only the tools for recovery but also the motivation to implement them in your daily life. I found myself surrounded by a community of individuals who were on similar journeys, and this camaraderie made the process even more enriching.
In conclusion, Acqua Recovery has been a beacon of hope in my life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does TriWest Cover Addiction Rehab?
Yes, TriWest will provide addiction rehab for those who are approved by the VA for this type of care. TriWest has providers for inpatient and outpatient services such as residential care and various outpatient treatment programs. You can also get medication assisted treatment (MAT) including detox and long term maintenance if it’s appropriate for your individual needs.
Prior to any type of alcohol and substance use disorder treatment you will go through an assessment process to determine the best starting point for your unique circumstance. The American Society of Addiction Medicine has created an assessment tool that the VA may use to help to determine the level of care that is appropriate for your specific recovery needs.
If you need to obtain services outside of a VA facility TriWest will help to locate a community provider that meets VA quality standards. A referral from a VA healthcare provider will be necessary before starting any treatment programs.
In What States Does TriWest Provide Coverage?
TriWest administers the Community Care Networks in Regions 4 and 5. This includes the western and southwestern portions of the United States along with Alaska and Guam. It also includes the Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa.
For example, you would use TriWest for Community Care in Texas or California along with Oregon or Colorado.
When Would TriWest Provide Care Instead of the VA?
Under certain circumstances when a veteran is unable to obtain the services they need at a VA facility they may seek care through the Community Care Network.
For example, you may not have a VA facility within the defined standard for driving (which is 30 minutes from an individual’s home) or appointments can not be made in a timely manner (within 20 days of need). Perhaps the type of care needed is not provided by your VA facility or more specialized care is required.
You can find the CCN provider yourself or ask your VA medical team to find one for you. Then you’ll ask for a referral from your VA primary care provider which can take 14 days to process. Once you have the referral you can schedule your appointment. When the appointment is scheduled the VA will send you an authorization letter for CCN care which will tell you what kind of care you can get and how long you can get treatment before you need another referral.
What Type of Inpatient Addiction Treatment Does TriWest Cover?
TriWest administers CCN care for inpatient rehab when inpatient care is approved by the VA. This can include medical detox and residential treatment. There are many factors your doctor will consider when determining the appropriate level of care. They will look at your support system and willingness to work the program along with your physical and financial condition.
While not everyone requires medical detox there are many benefits to this first step in recovery. Medical detox allows for slow and safe withdrawal from substances such as alcohol and benzodiazepines along with stimulants and opioids in a closely monitored environment. Medical professionals assess and treat the symptoms of physical dependence. This may include the use of FDA approved medications such as methadone or disulfiram. Naltrexone and buprenorphine are other options. Medical professionals can also provide care to help stabilize any other conditions that may be affected by the withdrawal process such as hypertension and diabetes.
On average the medical detox lasts between 7 and 10 days but each person’s experience is different. Continued medical support may be needed for weeks or months.
Residential treatment is often recommended after medical detox and for some it may be the first step in their recovery journey. During this time you’ll be at an inpatient treatment facility and receive 24/7 care. Treatment generally includes individual and group therapy along with nutritional counseling and life skills education. You’ll also get recreational and experiential therapy and in some cases holistic therapies such as meditation and yoga and art therapy.
Recognizing that the first phases of recovery are difficult residential treatment provides a structured environment where individualized treatment plans are created to meet the unique needs of each person. This may include ongoing MAT to help reduce the cravings that can be a tremendous obstacle in recovery.
Residential treatment times can vary. Programs can range from 30 to 90 days and in some cases longer depending on the needs of the individual. The 90 day treatment programs have been shown to have the highest success rates.
What Type of Outpatient Rehab Does TriWest Cover?
Outpatient rehab services are provided by TriWest when approved by the VA. As with other types of care a referral is required before obtaining any treatment outside of the VA system. The facility and provider must be a part of the CCN system for coverage.
Partial Hospitalization programs (PHPs) provide you with similar intensive treatment plans as residential treatment but allow you to return home each night. These programs are known as day programs and provide an average of 20 hours per week of addiction treatment. Participants receive individual and group therapy as well as medical care if needed.
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs) are another treatment option for people who do not need residential treatment. These programs require a time commitment of several days per week but allow for more flexibility to accommodate work and allow for a return to home each night. On average you’ll attend treatment for 9 to 12 hours per week. Typically these programs last for 90 days but depending on your unique recovery needs this could be extended.
IOPs consist of individual and group therapy and may include case management programs along with vocational and education support and family therapy. Often a 12 step recovery program is also a part of this type of treatment.
An aftercare program’s main goal is to help you establish long term recovery and avoid relapse. Recognizing that recovery is a lifelong commitment these programs help to equip you with the support and tools you need to meet the day to day challenges you’ll face. Ongoing therapy and programs geared toward strengthening coping skills and recognizing triggers are common and you’ll learn to build your support system. You may also have access to peer support groups along with vocational and education support and case management services.
Does TriWest Cover Methadone & Suboxone (MAT)?
Yes, TriWest has CCN providers that offer MAT if this treatment is approved for you by the VA.
MAT refers to the use of FDA approved medications such as methadone or buprenorphine or naltrexone and others to help those with alcohol or substance use disorder in the recovery process.
In the early stages of recovery MAT can be used during medical detox to help decrease withdrawal symptoms and normalize brain chemistry. Medical detox on average lasts 7 to 10 days. For some this is where the use of medication assisted treatment ends.
For others MAT may be used for weeks or months or for an even longer term. For those who struggle with opioids or alcohol MAT has been shown to greatly reduce the risk of relapse and decrease the number of overdose deaths. When the medication is paired with evidence based treatment you have a better chance of establishing long term recovery and eventually living a fully substance free life.
Does TriWest Cover Other Mental Healthcare?
TriWest has CCN providers that can offer mental healthcare when approved by the VA as well. TriWest and the VA offer a wide range of options when it comes to mental health care including individual and group therapy involving modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). You can also get couples and family therapy along with readjustment counseling and grief counseling. The VA offers military sexual trauma therapy as well. Treatment with medication is also a part of mental healthcare through the VA system
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration SAMHSA) 1 in 4 people with a mental illness also experience alcohol or substance use disorder. When mental illness and SUD occur at the same time it is referred to as a cooccuring disorder. Because of this mental health care is an extremely important part of the recovery process. It’s very important to get integrated care that addresses both mental health and addiction to give yourself the best chance at long term recovery.
Does Addiction Treatment Need to Be In Network?
If you want the VA to cover addiction treatment you will need to obtain care in a VA facility or through an approved CCN provider. It is important to remember that a referral is needed from a VA primary care provider before obtaining care outside of a VA facility.
Failure to get a referral or use a CNN authorized provider could result in nonpayment of services. Emergency and urgent care do not require a referral prior to receiving care.
If you have other health insurance and your addiction or mental health concerns are not service connected you may be able to use your other insurance to get treatment outside the VA and CCN system. You will want to check with that insurance plan to see what coverage is available.
What to Do if TriWest Won’t Cover the Cost of Rehab
If you cannot find a provider within the VA system or CCN network there may be other options to help pay for care.
You might be able to get non VA health insurance and get coverage for non service connected addiction or mental healthcare. That insurance plan will have its own provider network and coverage requirements so be sure to understand the full details of the plan before you commit to treatment.
You might also qualify for Medicaid in your state if you’re lower income. Medicaid coverage will allow you to get free or low cost care for addiction and mental health through state and county facilities.
Another option is to pay for treatment yourself. Many treatment centers have payment plans available or offer a sliding scale of fees based on income. Others offer scholarships to help pay for the cost of treatment.
Finally free services can be found in many communities through organizations such as the Salvation Army or YMCA along with homeless shelters or faith based organizations. As with all types of medical and mental health care it is extremely important to verify accreditation and ensure the highest quality of care when seeking free or low cost treatment options.
