The Meadows and TRICARE: Trusted Partners

The Meadows is privileged to be a TRICARE Provider of behavioral health and substance abuse inpatient services to active-duty military members, veterans, and their dependents of the TRICARE West Region.

The Meadows has been selected to be part of the HealthNet Federal Services (HNFS) for the TRICARE Program. HNFS is the contractor for TRICARE’s West Region. As a TRICARE Provider, The Meadows is honored to provide behavioral health and substance abuse inpatient services with an emphasis on trauma, PTSD, and addictive disease disorders to active-duty and retired military and their dependents in the TRICARE West Region. The Meadows has a long history of working with TRICARE beneficiaries as a contracted provider.

Using the VA MISSION Act to Get the Help You Need

Thanks to the VA MISSION Act, veterans who live more than 40 miles from a VA facility or who can’t get an appointment within 30 days are able to seek treatment from an external provider. To be eligible for this benefit, you must be enrolled in the VA healthcare system and have received care from Veterans’ Affairs (either in a VA facility or a community provider) within the past 24 months. To check eligibility, contact your local VA medical facility or call 1-833-4VETNOW (1-833-483-8669).

Veterans, Substance Use & Mental Health

It’s only natural that veterans experience a period of readjustment as they leave the military and reintegrate into life with family, friends, and their community. Many of these issues may even begin to surface while still in active duty. A number of environmental stressors specific to military personnel have been linked to increased risk of substance use disorders (SUDs).

More than one in 10 veterans have been diagnosed with a substance use disorder, slightly higher than the general population.
Reported rates of illicit drug use increase when active-duty personnel leave military service.
Many veterans have unique issues related to pain management, with two-thirds reporting they experience pain.
65% of veterans who enter a treatment program report alcohol as the substance they most frequently misuse, almost double that of the general population.
Veterans with SUDS commonly meet the criteria for co-occurring mental health disorders such as PTSD, depression, and anxiety.
Those who have experienced trauma or were hospitalized or injured during combat are at risk for increased drinking or drug use.
Veterans with SUDs are 3-4 times more likely to receive a PTSD or depression diagnosis.

From the Blog: How Vets Can Get Addiction Treatment with TRICARE

Many veterans have TRICARE insurance, but they may not know that it will cover their stay at a residential or outpatient program for addiction treatment. Selected as part of the HealthNet Federal Services (HNFS) for their TRICARE program, The Meadows provides behavioral health and substance abuse inpatient services with an emphasis on trauma, PTSD, and addictive disease disorders to active duty and retired military and their dependents.

From the Blog: What the MISSION Act Means for Veterans

While the VA offers a wide range of healthcare options to veterans, there are still situations where they may be unable to provide what you need in a timely or convenient manner. Fortunately, the 2018 VA MISSION Act was implemented to ensure that veterans get the healthcare they need from outside providers if VA facilities are not able to supply it.
