Drug rehabilitation programs which are offered on an outpatient basis are available to addicted individuals who have circumstances which prevent them from being able to participate in an inpatient treatment center. An outpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation center provides many of the same services as an inpatient program, but allows for flexibility as opposed to an inpatient drug or alcohol rehab facility where the person is expected to stay and reside at the treatment facility until the treatment process is complete. Outpatient drug treatment is also available for those who have already gone through residential or inpatient treatment but also need a thorough aftercare program which will provide additional support and treatment to help them remain clean and sober.

Military health insurance typically relates to TRICARE and is a commonly accepted insurance for specific drug treatment programs. A drug rehab that accepts military insurance will usually accept most other types of insurance as well. TRICARE normally covers detoxification, rehab and outpatient treatment.
