TRICARE is health insurance that's provided to people in the military of the United States. Drug abuse inside the military is much more common than one would imagine, and the need to provide treatment to these individuals is a vital priority. TRICARE covers many different rehabilitation services to handle alcohol and drug dependence such as detoxification services, in addition to treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. Individuals with TRICARE will naturally be required to have a prior approval before partaking in any kind of rehab service, which is often arranged using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient center will be the favored rehab choice, TRICARE covers a three week period or one inpatient stay in such a program per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are particular limits about how much time a TRICARE member can stay in the inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30 to 45 day window which is covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which can be very beneficial, as it could help include loved ones in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should fight this battle alone, and there are professional treatment counselors standing by to help today.
