Four questions to ask every center

What to confirm before you commit to a program

Program details, insurance acceptance, and network status change. Before contacting any center, know what to ask so you can compare accurately.

01

TRICARE plan acceptance

Ask which specific TRICARE plans they accept: Prime, Select, Reserve Select, or Young Adult. Not all centers accept all plans.

02

TriWest network status

San Antonio is in the TriWest region. Ask whether the center is currently in the TriWest network. Out-of-network care means higher costs for you.

03

Benefits verification

Ask them to run a benefits verification with TriWest using your TRICARE ID before you commit. Reputable centers do this at no charge.

04

Current Texas DSHS license

Verify the center's active license independently at dshs.texas.gov. Do not rely on the center's own statement alone.

Check your coverage before you call any center

The coverage checker explains what your TRICARE plan covers by level of care. The cost estimator gives a rough out-of-pocket estimate. Use both before making decisions.

Common questions

Questions about this directory

What people typically want to know before using these overviews to make decisions.

The most reliable way is to call the center directly and ask whether they accept your specific TRICARE plan (Prime, Select, Reserve Select, or Young Adult) and whether they are currently in the TriWest network. You can also verify at tricare.mil or by calling TriWest at 1-888-TRIWEST. Center overviews here are informational only and insurance acceptance changes frequently.
It depends on your plan. TRICARE Prime generally requires a referral from your primary care manager before entering residential treatment. TRICARE Select does not require referrals, but prior authorization is still needed for residential care, partial hospitalization, and often intensive outpatient. Confirm your plan's requirements at tricare.mil before contacting any center. See our prior authorization guide for a full breakdown.
Most residential treatment centers in San Antonio offer some combination of medical detox, residential inpatient, partial hospitalization (PHP), and intensive outpatient (IOP). Some also offer standard outpatient and sober-living support. The exact services at each center vary and must be confirmed directly. Program offerings change, and what a center reported publicly may not reflect what is currently available.
No. Recoverion is an independent educational resource. Listing a center is not an endorsement, does not reflect any business or referral relationship, and does not mean Recoverion has verified the center's current licensing, insurance acceptance, or program quality. All details must be confirmed directly with the center before making any decision.
