TRICARE is medical health insurance which is provided to people in the armed forces of the United States. Substance abuse within the military is more common than one would assume, and the need to provide rehab to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers a number of rehab services to address drug and alcohol dependence such as detoxification services, in addition to rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. People with TRICARE will of course be required to obtain a prior approval before partaking in any sort of rehab service, which may be arranged using a regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility will be the favored rehabilitation option, TRICARE will cover twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in this particular program per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are particular limits as to the length of time a TRICARE member can remain within an inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30 to 45 day window which is covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which is often very useful, as it can help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No member of the military should fight this battle alone, and there are professional rehabilitation counselors standing by to help you today.
