TRICARE is health care insurance which is provided to members of the armed forces of the United States. Drug abuse within the military is much more common than one would imagine, and the necessity to offer treatment to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers many different rehab services to address alcohol and drug dependence such as detoxification services, in addition to rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. Individuals with TRICARE will obviously need to have a prior authorization before partaking in any sort of rehabilitation service, which may be arranged with their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient program will be the favored rehab choice, TRICARE covers twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in this center per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are particular limits concerning how long a TRICARE member can remain in the inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30 to 45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family treatment which can be very useful, as it can certainly help include loved ones in the healing and process of recovery. No member of the military should fight this battle alone, and there are professional rehab counselors ready to help you today.
