TRICARE is health care insurance which is provided to members of the military of the United States. Drug and alcohol use inside the military is a lot more common than one would imagine, and the need to offer rehabilitation to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers numerous treatment services to address drug and alcohol dependence such as detoxification services, along with rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. Individuals with TRICARE will of course be asked to have a prior approval before taking part in any type of treatment service, which may be organized using their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient center could be the preferred treatment choice, TRICARE covers a three week period or one inpatient stay in that program per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are certain limits as to how long a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30-45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family treatment which can be very helpful, as it may 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 rehab counselors ready to help you today.
