TRICARE-Certified Programs

Natchez Trace Youth Academy is TRICARE-approved to offer residential treatment services for children and adolescents, ages 10 to 17, of active duty service members and veterans of the United States Armed Forces.

We are the only TRICARE-certified residential treatment center in Waverly, Tennessee. In addition to treating mental health issues we specialize in trauma-focused psychiatric treatment with a conduct disorder component. All programs include enrollment at a freestanding, certified school to make sure our residents stay on track academically.
