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.
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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Care, Life-Changing Experience at Asana Recovery
My journey with Asana Recovery has been nothing short of transformational. Walking through their doors, I wasn’t just another patient entering a treatment center—I was a person in need of compassion, structure, and genuine guidance. From the very beginning, the team at Asana made me feel seen, heard, and supported in a way that very few treatment centers truly deliver.
After just two months in recovery, I was given the incredible opportunity to become a house manager, which was a breathtaking experience. Not only did it deepen my recovery, but it allowed me to support others walking the same path. That chance to step into responsibility and service was life-changing, and it’s something I will always carry with me.
What sets Asana apart is the people. Jonathan and Linda, in particular, are shining examples of what makes this place extraordinary. Jonathan’s ability to connect with individuals on a deeply human level created a sense of trust that allowed me to open up and truly engage in the process. His wisdom, steadiness, and encouragement gave me tools that I will carry for the rest of my life. Linda’s presence is like a beacon—warm, nurturing, and absolutely unshakable. Her kindness and dedication went far beyond a “job”; it was clear she cares about every single person who comes through Asana’s program as if they were family.
And it isn’t just them—the entire Asana team embodies that same commitment. Whether it was the counselors guiding me through difficult conversations, the medical staff ensuring I was safe and cared for, or the support staff who brought positivity into every interaction, each person played an important role in making recovery feel possible. They created an environment that blended professionalism with heart, where structure and accountability were balanced with compassion and encouragement.
I’ve been to other facilities and spoken with countless people who have gone through recovery in different settings, and I can say without hesitation that Asana stands in a class of its own. Their approach is holistic, their community is genuine, and their impact is lasting.
To anyone considering Asana Recovery—whether for yourself or a loved one—know this: you will not just find treatment here; you will find hope, healing, and a family that will walk alongside you every step of the way. I am deeply grateful to Jonathan, Linda, and the entire Asana Recovery team for helping me reclaim my life.

Amazing residential home! Or at least the one I was at in Huntington beach. Love the food, staff, nd they also helped me get a job towards the end of my treatment!!
BEST PLACE EVER. I have tried various other doctors/clinics and none of them even begin to compare to this one. The staff here is absolutely amazing. I can’t even make a single complaint. Dr Son is the best as well. He explains everything and you truly feel like he understands you. I can proudly say this, this place saved my life. If you or someone you know needs help getting off opiates do it right the first time and come here. You won’t be disappointed. If you are specifically struggling with fentanyl please don’t waste your time with other ways. I have tried 6 other methods from lazer therapy to having the earpiece to suboxone. Methadone is the key to our current fentanyl crisis. This clinic makes recovery possible again!

Elevate helped save my son's life! One year ago, I was on a desperate search for a place that would help my son quit drinking. I went online and was so overwhelmed with all the choices! I called a couple places and was not impressed with what they offered.
I prayed to God He would lead me to the right place, and He did! The 3rd place I called, this nice guy named Josh answered, and right away, we connected. I asked questions, he asked questions. What I loved about what he said, was that they did not rely on prescribing a bunch of meds to "fix" my son, but offered an in depth program that included exercise as part of the journey to recovery, and to ultimately learn to not rely on anything to self medicate ever again.
Ding! I knew he would love something like this, and the more Josh talked, the more I wanted to get my son on a plane! Of course, the final decision was up to him, and at that point, he was ready for a major change, and trusted my judgement. Thank God!
Within days, my son was up north and that was the beginning of his new life because today marks his ONE YEAR from not having a drop of alcohol! In fact, he liked Elevate so much, he stayed up there, trained heavily for 3 months, and is now an employee who helps counsel new clients. He earned Employee of the Month last month and I couldn't be more proud of the hard work he did and does for himself.
I can't thank Elevate enough for the part they played in his recovery. It was divine intervention and I'm so grateful he chose himself and continues to live out his purpose. Thank you to the team at Elevate!
Highly recommend this company! This is a great program for either first timers or if you are looking for something different to try in your recovery journey. The staff are supportive of your individualized needs and you get ample attention as opposed to fading into the background. Here you can build strong and trusting relationships with both staff and others seeking treatment. The IOP also helps you to continue building upon a foundation of mental and physical health as you move towards a more positive future. This is a review of them coming from the heart!

I was a patient at DFC rehab facility and recently graduated. I can say hands down they saved my life . Not only did they teach me about alcoholism and what it means to be in recovery . i developed long time friendships that i know will help me to stay sober . i also loved how caring the staff where. I wasn't the easiest patient at first but with their love and support i was able to not only become a recovering alcoholic but i have become a whole new person . I would highly recommend going here if you or a family member is still struggling

This was my second tine in DFC outpatient treatment, the reason I chose DFC was their teaching, there, client, and the friendly environment. I have been to many treatment centers in my past when I knew in my heart I was serious about recovering from drugs and alcohol. There was no other place that I wanted to go other than Design For Change. They give group and individual counseling tailored for the individual which helped me tremendously. They help me find out what I want and how to go about getting it in the group setting they don’t allow disturbances. They make sure everyone is focused. An attentive, which makes it easy to learn. DFC, my wife says thank you for giving her her husband back.
I had the most amazing experience of my life! WWR saved my life in many ways. I tackled multiple addictions and took advantage of every service they offer (which there are many!). The counselors and recovery advocates are incredible. While I now have the tools to go back to the real world, I will miss this place in my soul. I would recommend WWR to anyone needing to face addiction or any other mental challenge.

Windmill is set amongst a beautiful scenery of trees and deers, that enables peace of mind and a healing quietness for the spirit. This serene atmosphere grows and shines in the people living there and the ones there providing us support through their smiles and patient caring for each other. I was able to learn again what it felt like to be human, sane, and a part of something. Fellowship being the heart of the strength built, I walked away with a community that stands as an army ready to fight together. You will be empowered. It works if you work it. As the windmill keeps turning, so shall we!

To say I can't give enough stars for Windmill Wellness Ranch would be a true understatement. This place saved my life brought me back my happiness and gave me the tools for a beautiful future. The staff at Windmill have real life experience and top-notch education to help the struggling no matter what you are struggling with. They really pay attention to you and your situation. They do an excellent job placing you, from your roommates,to your process group, your therapist and recovery coach. That being said if you feel it is not working they will work with you to make you feel comfortable. I've never felt like I've truly fit in in my whole life. I've always felt like the oddball out.Here I found my tribe and We are doing this new happy exciting life sober!!!
This place was amazing, very friendly staff who helped me through the tough time. I was given all the necessary tools to recover and get my life back on track. I hope I never need to go back to treatment again, but if I do I would definitely go back to Pacific Sands.

This place is great as far as accommodations go. They offer private rooms, catered/chef prepared food for lunch/dinner. Group facilitators and staff are professional and care for their clients.
These people have helped me recover from the worst point in my life to become a much better happier person today. I owe my life and my family to this place. Especially Leia, Cynthia, and Mary. But I want to thank everyone else for being a part of this process.

I’m sharing my experience about someone close to me who completed Tree House Recovery’s five-month program in Costa Mesa through the partial hospitalization track.
From the start, Adam and Matt showed up with care, heart, and a steady light. My experience with the team was a blessing. The way they came together to support my friend—even at the very beginning—held nothing short of compassion and love. It was truly something special.
Tree House is a brotherhood. It goes deep and focuses on giving a real experience - not a curated, perfect, or cookie-cutter one. It gives the people who go through it the strength to stand up and get through real life when they leave. It highlights your strength, gives you the structure to build it into who you are, and keeps reminding you of it. They provide tools, support, and, beyond that, an environment where learning happens, beliefs are tested and strengthened, and new identities are allowed take root.
It's physiology and psychology, forged together.
And if you’re asking the question, “Does it last?”; In my experience, it grows. It takes the reins and leads. Even as someone standing on the sidelines, I haven’t just learned from this journey—I’ve been inspired by the person who walked it. This program isn’t a finish line; it’s a whole new game, a wider foundation—something that keeps inviting you to become more of who you are. And it is literally a life-saver.
I’m grateful for Tree House Recovery—and especially for Adam and Matt—for showing up and lighting the way. If you’re ready to believe that change is worth it, take the first step. They’ll have your back for the rest.

Treehouse Recovery and the staff members are all really great people that care about your sobriety as much as they care about their own and take the role of guiding you into the right direction very seriously. Being apart of this program as changed my life for the better and I found not only a sense of happiness I have never felt before but I also found a sense of purpose and a strong brotherhood within this community of guys I went through this experience with. My outlook on life has completely changed for the better and I open my eyes in the morning thanking God I have another day to be the best person I could be. I am able to face challenges head on and be able to tackle them down without the thought of escaping reality and picking up that bottle. This experience I went through with the people I could now call lifelong friends with has been one of the best chapters of my journey I've been through so far. The good, the bad, the ugly; it was all worth wild. Thank you Justin, Vechi, Matt and everyone involved that saved my life! This book isn’t over yet. Let’s see where this new version of myself takes me.

I highly recommend the TREEHOUSE RECOVERY Program in Costa Mesa. Their comprehensive approach to drug addiction treatment is commendable. The program addresses the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual components of your loved one, thereby focusing on the underlying causes of the addiction, rather than solely on ending the substance use. I believe this approach significantly reduces the risk of relapse. The male-only environment is a key factor in fostering focus and promoting successful outcomes.
My son successfully completed the five-month program and graduated. We are thrilled with the results! His physical and spiritual well-being have been significantly restored. Prior to his enrollment at Treehouse of Costa Mesa, I feared that I would lose him forever. He was at “the bottom” and was ready.
The program Is demanding and emphasizes accountability.
The parents, spouses, or family members have an optional video group meeting with other family members every week that helps immensely.
My son is 9+ months clean, and counting. He has a job and is on his feet again. He says that he’s a better man than he has ever been. I honestly don’t believe a different drug treatment program would have been as successful as the Treehouse Recovery Program for addiction.
This is where my sobriety journey began, though I did not complete my month here and stay sober I have now been sober for two and a half years and I would love to work for these guys one day.

I was in Acqua October 2024 and the staff was amazing. They listened to what the clients had to say. The one thing Acqua offered that not a lot of the other places did is dual diagnosis. Not only do they treat addiction but the helped me get on meds that worked for me. I loved that I didnt get the 12 steps shoved down my throat. I liked my counselors and the staff helped me get everything lined out to go home in another state. I'm been sober for 9 months now.
For a place that I was very nervous about going to, I ended up really enjoying my time spent here. The staff is amazing and the facility is clean and welcoming. I am so grateful for what I’ve learned and the support I was given on my journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Calls to any general helpline will be answered or returned by a paid advertiser.
