Choosing residential opioid rehab with Tricare coverage can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket expenses and connect you with specialized care designed for lasting recovery. Whether you are an active duty service member, a veteran, or a family member seeking help, understanding TRICARE benefits helps you access comprehensive programs at The Hope House without the stress of unexpected costs. In this guide, you will learn how TRICARE supports detoxification, inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient programs, and medication-assisted treatment so you can focus fully on healing.
TRICARE health insurance typically covers a spectrum of substance use disorder services, including residential treatment for opioid addiction. According to American Addiction Centers, TRICARE plans provide coverage for drug and alcohol rehab treatment as well as co-occurring mental health care at approved facilities nationwide (American Addiction Centers). Your benefits may include:
Under TRICARE Select, both Group A and Group B members pay a daily or per-admission copayment for mental health residential treatment at in-network facilities. You are responsible for the greater of these two amounts:
| Service type | In-network cost | Out-of-network cost |
|---|---|---|
| Residential mental health treatment | $23.45 per day or $25 admission (whichever is greater) | Up to $64 per admission |
These fixed fees help you plan your budget and avoid unpredictable charges. As a result, you can enter treatment confident that most costs are managed by your insurance.

The intensive outpatient program (IOP) provides flexibility while maintaining a high level of support. In IOP you will:
TRICARE coverage for IOP ensures you can maintain treatment momentum without inpatient stays, reducing time away from work or family.
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is a cornerstone of opioid recovery. TRICARE typically covers Suboxone after preauthorization, helping you manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Without insurance, a 30-day supply of generic Suboxone can cost up to $200 (American Addiction Centers). At The Hope House, our medical team monitors your dosing and adjusts protocols as needed so you can focus on therapy and life skills training.
