TRICARE is health insurance that is offered to individuals in the armed forces of the United States. Drug and alcohol use within the military is much more common than one would assume, and the need to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers a variety of rehab services to deal with alcohol and drug dependence such as detox services, along with rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient facilities. Individuals with TRICARE will obviously be asked to obtain a prior approval before taking part in any kind of treatment service, which may be organized using a regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient program is the favored treatment option, TRICARE will cover 21 days or one inpatient stay in this particular center per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are particular limits regarding how much time a TRICARE member can stay in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30 to 45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which is often very beneficial, as it can certainly help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No member of the military should fight this battle alone, and there are expert treatment counselors ready to assist you today.
