TRICARE is health insurance that's provided to individuals in the military of the United States. Drug abuse inside the military is more common than one would think, and the necessity to offer treatment to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers a variety of rehabilitation services to address drug and alcohol dependence including detox services, in addition to rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. Those that have TRICARE will of course need to have a prior approval before taking part in any type of rehab service, that may be arranged with their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient facility will be the preferred treatment choice, TRICARE covers a 3 week period or one inpatient stay in this program per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are specific limits about how long a TRICARE member can remain in the inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30-45 day window which is covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling that may be very useful, as it may help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are professional treatment counselors ready to help today.
