TRICARE is health care insurance that's offered to individuals in the military of the United States. Drug and alcohol use inside the military is a lot more common than one would assume, and the need to offer treatment to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers many different treatment services to address alcohol and drug dependence like detoxification services, and also rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. People who have TRICARE will naturally be asked to get a prior authorization before taking part in any sort of rehabilitation service, which is often arranged using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient center could be the favored treatment option, TRICARE covers a three week period or one inpatient stay in this particular center per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are certain limits as to the length of time a TRICARE member can stay in an inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30-45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which may be very beneficial, as it can help include loved ones in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should fight this battle alone, and there are skilled treatment counselors ready to help you today.
