- PCP was first administered as an IV anesthetic during medical procedures, but was never approved for human use because of problems during clinical studies, including intensely negative psychological effects.

GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
There are several ways to get part or all of your drug treatment covered. For those who have military insurance (e.g., VA, TRICARE) you will need to contact your provider directly to see exactly what you are eligible for. While both parts of TriCare (TriCare Standard and TriCare Extra) cover drug rehabilitation, only some VA benefits cover the expense of substance abuse rehabilitation. Once you have spoken with your military insurance representative (e.g., VA, TRICARE) and fully understand what exactly they will pay for regarding addiction treatment you can begin researching drug treatment programs. Be sure to speak to the billing department of the drug rehab to make sure that they accept your military insurance (e.g., VA, TRICARE). You will want to have a full understanding of what your part (if any) of the program costs you will be responsible for before you enroll into the program.
