Inner Voyage Recovery Center is proud to provide personalized care and comprehensive support to the dedicated members of our nation’s armed forces, their families, and military retirees. But many members of these populations have questions about what types of services they can receive. For example, one common question is, “Does Tricare pay for rehab?”
Inner Voyage Recovery Center now accepts Tricare Prime & Tricare Select.
Tricare is a government-managed program that provides healthcare for many members of the U.S. military community. Tricare is managed by the Defense Health Agency (DHA).
