What Types of Therapy Are Offered at Carrara for TriWest Patients?
Carrara offers a wide range of evidence-based and holistic therapies tailored to military clients. Treatment is never one-size-fits-all. Each patient undergoes a clinical assessment upon admission to determine the right mix of therapies for their physical, emotional, and psychological recovery.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps identify and change destructive patterns of thought and behavior tied to substance use.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): Particularly effective for veterans with trauma or PTSD.
- Family Systems Therapy: Addresses relationship dynamics, communication breakdowns, and support for spouses and children.
- Motivational Interviewing (MI): Encourages personal commitment to change through client-centered dialogue.
- Somatic Therapy: Focuses on the body’s physical response to trauma, improving emotional regulation and stress tolerance.
- Holistic Integration: Includes yoga, art therapy, mindfulness training, and breathwork to enhance therapeutic outcomes.
Veterans benefit from having access to both traditional therapy and alternative modalities. The integration of these tools increases resilience, reduces relapse risk, and promotes whole-person healing in an environment specifically built to honor service and support recovery.
TRICARE Is Not Accepted at Carrara Treatment
While Carrara Treatment is partnered with the VA through TriWest and serves veterans under the Community Care Network, it does not accept TRICARE insurance for military dependents or retirees. TRICARE patients cannot use their coverage at Carrara.
However, Carrara’s sister facility, 1 Method Center, does accept TRICARE. Located in Los Angeles, 1 Method offers high-end, personalized care for substance use and co-occurring disorders, making it an excellent alternative for those covered under TRICARE Prime, TRICARE Select, and related plans.
Understanding Insurance and Co-Payments for Military Families
For veterans referred through TriWest, most treatment at Carrara is fully covered by the VA. Carrara works directly with TriWest to confirm eligibility and authorization, ensuring there are no out-of-pocket expenses for qualifying VA patients.
- VA Community Care: For eligible veterans, full coverage is typical with no copayment for inpatient addiction treatment.
- TRICARE Plans: Not accepted at Carrara. TRICARE recipients should inquire with 1 Method for benefit verification.
- Transparent Estimates: Carrara provides clear explanations of coverage for TriWest patients prior to admission.
If you are a TRICARE member, reach out to 1 Method Center to explore your treatment options and understand your potential co-payments and authorizations.
Why This Partnership Matters for Military Families Facing Addiction
