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.
Understanding Co-Payments and Insurance Responsibilities
While most veterans receiving care through the VA Community Care Network at Carrara do not pay out of pocket, some military families—particularly dependents or retirees under TRICARE—may be responsible for co-payments depending on their plan type. It’s important to understand how costs are structured before admission.
TriWest works closely with Carrara to verify each patient’s benefits, including whether authorization has been granted by the VA or if the case falls under TRICARE Prime, TRICARE Select, or another category. Carrara’s financial team then communicates with the patient or their family to ensure full clarity around any cost-sharing obligations. In most VA-approved inpatient cases, care is fully covered. For TRICARE dependents, co-pays typically range from modest daily charges to a fixed percentage of care, based on the plan.
- VA Community Care: For eligible veterans, full coverage is typical, with no copayment for inpatient addiction treatment.
- TRICARE Plans: Copayments may apply; Carrara assists with benefit verification and authorization.
- Transparent Estimates: Patients receive clear explanations of costs prior to admission with no surprise billing.
Understanding financial obligations up front is essential—and Carrara makes sure every family knows exactly what to expect.
Why This Partnership Matters for Military Families Facing Addiction
At its heart, the collaboration between TriWest and Carrara Treatment represents a renewed commitment to those who have served—and to the families who have supported them. Substance use disorders affect not just the individual, but spouses, children, and entire households. This partnership ensures that quality care is available, accessible, and tailored to the unique challenges military life presents.
Military families often face chronic stress, long-term separations, trauma, and reintegration issues. Carrara’s model of care is built to address all of that—offering therapies that support healing from both chemical dependency and emotional wounds. The luxury rehab setting helps remove stigma and resistance to treatment, making recovery feel like a privilege rather than a punishment. Meanwhile, TriWest removes the barriers to care by funding services that might otherwise be out of reach.
- Specialized Support: Carrara’s care plans address service trauma, PTSD, family dynamics, and co-occurring mental health disorders.
- Affordability Through TriWest: Coverage makes high-end treatment possible for military families across 26 states.
- Commitment to Outcomes: The goal is not just sobriety, but a meaningful and sustainable return to health, purpose, and family life.
For families ready to make a change, the path forward is clearer than ever. The TriWest–Carrara partnership ensures you don’t have to do it alone.
