TRICARE is health insurance which is provided to people in the military of the United States. Drug abuse inside the military is more common than one would think, and the need to provide treatment to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers a number of treatment services to deal with alcohol and drug dependence such as detoxification services, in addition to rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. Individuals with TRICARE will of course be asked to get a prior approval before partaking in any kind of rehab service, which is often arranged with their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient facility is the favored rehab option, TRICARE will cover 21 days or one inpatient stay in this particular program per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are certain limits concerning the length of time a TRICARE member can remain in the inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30 to 45 day window which is covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which can be very beneficial, as it could help include family members in the healing and recovery process. No member of the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are skilled treatment counselors waiting to help you today.
