TRICARE at Virtue
A TRICARE Approved Rehab Facility Near Fort Hood
Our Killeen, Texas rehab is in network with TRICARE West for Prime and Select. It is the only Virtue location where TRICARE is in network, and it sits in the middle of the Fort Hood community it was built to serve.
Most people who search for rehabs that accept TRICARE are trying to answer two questions at once: will my plan work, and is this a place that understands military life. Killeen answers both. It is home to Warriors Path, our veteran and military program, built by a retired U.S. Army combat veteran.
- TRICARE West Prime
- TRICARE West Select
- Active duty, retirees and family members on those plans
Coverage depends on your specific plan and is confirmed by a free verification.
Levels of care
TRICARE Detox, Inpatient and Outpatient Rehab at Killeen
TRICARE alcohol rehab and drug rehab at Killeen run on one continuous plan, from detox through outpatient, with the same team. A clinical assessment determines which level of care you start at, and admissions arranges it.
Your plan
TRICARE Prime and Select: What Each Plan Needs Before Rehab
The plan on your card changes the steps, not the destination. For the general rules on what TRICARE covers for substance use treatment, see does TRICARE cover rehab.
TRICARE Prime
Prime may require a referral from your military primary care manager (PCM) before treatment. Verification confirms whether yours does, and we tell you exactly what your PCM needs to send.
TRICARE Select
Select generally gives you more freedom to choose a TRICARE network provider. Your benefits check confirms what applies to your plan and to the level of care you need.
TRICARE East, For Life and other plans
TRICARE For Life is not in network at Killeen, and other regions or plan types need verification rather than an assumption. Call and we will check it rather than guess.
Who can use it
Rehab for Service Members, Retirees and Military Families on TRICARE
TRICARE covers active duty service members, retirees, and their spouses and children. Family admissions are common, and you do not have to be the one who served to use it. If you are calling about a spouse, an adult child or a parent, the first call works the same way.
Confidentiality is usually the first worry for anyone still serving. Treatment records are protected under federal law, and we do not contact your command, unit or employer. Nothing about your treatment is shared without your written consent.
Warriors Path
Military and Veteran Rehab Programming at Killeen
Warriors Path started in Killeen and is still run here by people who served. It is veteran and military programming inside the same clinical structure as the rest of the facility, with a seven day schedule that feels familiar to anyone used to military routine and staff trained in military culture.
Built by Dr. Rajesh Harripersad, EdD, LPC-S, LCDC, Regional Executive Director, Killeen, and a retired U.S. Army combat veteran.

Not TRICARE West?
VA Benefits and Other Military Coverage for Rehab
Veterans using VA health care usually are not on TRICARE. Their route to a private rehab is VA Community Care, which TriWest administers, and it is accepted at our Killeen, Houston, Las Vegas and Astoria facilities. Our guide to whether the VA pays for rehab walks through the community care consult, and the TriWest page covers that route in detail.
