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.
