TRICARE is health care insurance which is offered to members of the armed forces of the United States. Drug abuse within the military is more common than one would think, and the need to provide treatment to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers numerous rehabilitation services to cope with alcohol and drug dependence such as detoxification services, and also treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. Those that have TRICARE will obviously be required to have a prior approval before partaking in any sort of rehabilitation service, which may be arranged using a regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient facility is the favored rehab choice, TRICARE will cover 21 days or one inpatient stay in such a facility per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are certain limits regarding how long a TRICARE member can stay in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30-45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which is often very helpful, as it can certainly help include family members in the healing and recovery process. No member of the military should fight this battle alone, and there are professional rehab counselors waiting to help you today.
