Licensed treatment centers around San Antonio

A starting point for your search. Each of these offers addiction treatment in the San Antonio metro. Use it to get oriented, then confirm the details that matter to you directly with the center and your plan.

This directory is shared for general information only. Listing a center is not an endorsement, and inclusion does not reflect any business relationship with Recoverion. Programs, licensing, and accepted insurance change over time, so always confirm a center's current services and whether it accepts your TRICARE or VA coverage directly with the provider before making any decision.

Why you can trust this

Independent, and held to a clear standard

When the topic is your health, your benefits, and your family, accuracy isn't optional. Here's what stands behind every page.

Independently owned

Recoverion is its own resource, run by people who answer to readers first and not to any single facility.

Cited to official sources

Coverage and benefit details link straight to TRICARE.mil, VA.gov, and Texas DSHS, never to our opinion.

Reviewed by a clinician

Clinical content is checked by a licensed mental-health professional before it's published. Accuracy over speed.

Kept current

Benefit rules change. We update our pages whenever TRICARE guidance does.

Your privacy comes first

You can read, search, and use every tool here without handing over your name or personal details.

Built around San Antonio

Real local knowledge of the bases, the metro, and the resources here, written by people based in Texas.

A licensed clinician reviews clinical content. Anything about treatment or health is checked before it goes live.
We keep content current. Pages are checked against the latest TRICARE policy.
