Addiction treatment is not one-size-fits-all. The right level of care depends on the substance, how long and heavily it was used, co-occurring conditions, and your living situation. This guide walks through each level of care and what to expect.
24-hour medically supervised withdrawal management. The starting point for most people with physical dependence on alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines.
24-hour structured care in a facility. Typically 28-90 days. Includes therapy, clinical monitoring, and peer support. TRICARE requires prior authorization for residential treatment.
Daytime structured treatment (typically 5-6 hours/day, 5 days/week) while living at home or in sober living. A step down from residential or a step up from IOP.
Structured therapy sessions several times per week while maintaining normal daily life. The most flexible level of care covered by TRICARE.
