Tricare: Covering Alcohol and Drug Rehab for Veterans

Veterans face many challenges in returning to civilian life after military service or deployment. Many of those challenges stem from the psychological trauma that follows war and lead to alcohol and drug abuse. Tricare for veterans provides many veterans with insurance coverage, including for some rehab services. If you are a veteran struggling with drug abuse, you are not alone. The Phoenix Recovery Center offers resources and rehab centers for veterans through Tricare’s drug rehab coverage.

Veterans And Addiction

Studies show a strong link between those who experienced combat violence and those with substance abuse problems. According to the US Department of Veteran Affairs, 1 in 10 veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars have an alcohol or drug problem.

Many who serve in the military are diagnosed with PTSD due to the trauma they face and they turn to alcohol or other drugs to cope. Other common factors in the life of a veteran that could lead to drug abuse include:

The transition from military to civilian life can be a difficult one. That’s why we offer specialized veteran’s alcohol rehab and drug rehab programs. We believe that with proper treatment and therapy, you can return to a meaningful life again.
