Avalon Wellness & Recovery Proudly Accepts TRICARE

At Avalon Wellness & Recovery, we are deeply honored to serve the men and women who have served our country. We proudly accept TRICARE insurance, allowing us to provide high-quality addiction treatment services to active-duty service members, retired military personnel, and military families.
Military service demands strength, sacrifice, discipline, and resilience. Yet even the strongest individuals can carry invisible burdens. Operational stress, trauma exposure, reintegration challenges, chronic pain, and the pressures of military life can contribute to substance use and mental health struggles. Seeking help is not weakness, it is courage.
TRICARE coverage makes it possible for qualified beneficiaries to access comprehensive care at Avalon, including:
• Withdrawal Stabilization (Detox Support)
• Residential Substance Use Treatment
• Individual and Group Therapy
• Trauma-Informed, Person-Centered Care
• Family Engagement and Support
Our clinical team understands that recovery is not one-size-fits-all. Every treatment plan is individualized and grounded in evidence-based practices, trauma-informed principles, and respect for autonomy and dignity.
We recognize that military culture is unique. Integrity, accountability, service, and teamwork are values that resonate deeply within Avalon as well. Our mission is simple: to provide compassionate, structured, and effective treatment so individuals and families can reclaim stability, health, and purpose.
If you or your loved one is covered by TRICARE and struggling with substance use, help is available. You do not have to navigate this alone.

Days are shorter and the cold keeps people indoors, feelings of isolation, depression, and hopelessness often increase. For many, this time of year can intensify cravings and make recovery feel even harder to maintain.
But you don’t have to face it alone.
