TRICARE Rehabs: Addiction And Mental Health In The Military

Respect for veterans and active military members is deeply ingrained in the U.S. population. These brave men and women serve to protect our country and ensure our freedom. While

service offers unique benefits, such as travel and meeting new people, there are also serious risks involved. One of the most profound risks is the potential for physical and mental health conditions. Substance abuse and PTSD, in particular, are two of the most significant health issues that can affect those who have served in the military.

The military culture often emphasizes toughness and resilience, leading to reluctance or stigma around seeking help for mental health and substance abuse issues. Unfortunately, many veterans turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with symptoms of PTSD, chronic pain, or depression, which often leads to addiction.

PTSD, or post-traumatic stress disorder, is a mental health condition that can develop after exposure to traumatic events. For veterans, the risk of PTSD is high, as they are often exposed to combat, violence, and other life-threatening situations. Symptoms of PTSD can include anxiety, nightmares or flashbacks, and avoidance of triggering situations. Unfortunately, PTSD is often associated with an increased risk of addiction and other substance abuse problems.

One of the most significant challenges facing veterans with addiction or PTSD is finding access to appropriate treatment. Veterans often struggle with chronic pain, injuries, and other physical health complications, which can make it difficult to participate in traditional addiction treatment programs. A holistic approach is always beneficial, but it is even more necessary in these cases.

Additionally, many veterans live in rural areas, far from treatment centers and support services. Fortunately, we are here to help and can connect veterans and other eligible members to appropriate treatment facilities, no matter where they are located.

The loved ones of military personnel are also deeply impacted by the nature of military life. Living with the uncertainty of if and when their family member will be deployed, the constant worry for their safety, the absence caused by lengthy deployments – all of these contribute to the development of mental health and substance abuse issues.

Additionally, military families often face frequent moves, and this can result in high levels of stress and disruption to daily lives. This can be particularly difficult for children who need to change schools, make new friends, and learn about a new neighborhood, causing a lot of instability in their life which can lead to mental health and addiction issues down the road.

TRICARE Drug & Alcohol Treatment

Drug and alcohol addiction can be difficult to overcome and often feel isolating. The good news is that you are not alone in this battle. If you have Tricare insurance, there are treatment options available to help you on the path to recovery. Private treatment centers are one of the best options for help with mental health and substance abuse issues.

When it comes to private treatment centers, there are many benefits to consider. The first benefit is the accommodations. Private treatment centers offer a level of comfort not found in public clinics or hospitals. Patients often share rooms in houses that are now used for treatment as opposed to being in a hospital setting. They may even have access to amenities such as a gym, spa, and even gourmet food. This level of privacy can help patients feel more comfortable and secure during their stay.

Another benefit is a higher level of care. Private treatment centers typically have a higher staff to patient ratio, which allows for more personalized care. Patients receive individualized treatment plans that take into account their unique needs and circumstances. This individualized care can lead to better outcomes and a greater chance of success in overcoming addiction.

Private treatment centers also offer a luxury environment that can help patients feel relaxed and comfortable during their stay. This luxury environment can include amenities such as a swimming pool, sauna, and hot tub. Patients can take part in a variety of activities such as hiking, horseback riding, and painting, all of which can help them relax and focus on their recovery.

In addition to a luxury environment, private treatment centers offer custom treatment methods. This means that patients receive treatment that is tailored to their specific needs and circumstances. Treatment methods can include cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and 12-step programs. The end goal is to help patients develop coping skills and strategies to maintain their sobriety once they leave the treatment center.

Tricare Outpatient Rehab Programs

• Tricare PHP Programs – Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) offer treatment that is more intense than traditional outpatient care. Patients usually spend up to 6 hours a day five days a week in a medically supervised facility. PHPs are designed for patients who require a high level of medical attention but choose to stay in their homes or other designated residences. Patients may participate in individual and group therapy sessions and have access to support groups. It is essentially the same type of treatment as residential care but patients sleep at home or in sober living.

• TRICARE IOP Programs – Intensive Outpatient (IOP) treatment is another type of outpatient care that provides more structured care than traditional outpatient treatment. Patients receive treatment for several hours a day, three to five days a week. IOPs usually offer individual, family, and group therapy sessions to address the patient’s mental, emotional, and psychological concerns. This type of treatment is ideal for individuals who seek a flexible treatment schedule while still receiving intense treatment.

• TRICARE OP Treatment – Outpatient treatment is a type of addiction care that allows patients to participate in treatment while living at home. You usually attend treatment for two hours per day for 2 or 3 days per week. This includes group sessions and individual sessions.

Outpatient programs are ideal for patients who have already completed inpatient treatment or a higher level of outpatient care and need help transitioning back into

their everyday life. These programs offer flexible schedules and typically offer individual or group therapy sessions, and support groups.

• Medically Assisted Treatment Covered by Tricare – Medically Assisted Treatment (MAT) refers to the use of medication to manage withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings. The medications used in
