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 rehab to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers a variety of rehab services to handle drug and alcohol dependence such as detoxification services, along with rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. Those that have TRICARE will naturally be required to have a prior approval before taking part in any type of rehab service, which may be arranged using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient center could be the preferred rehabilitation option, TRICARE will cover a three week period or one inpatient stay in this center per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are particular limits about how long a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30 to 45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy that may be very useful, as it can certainly help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are professional rehabilitation counselors waiting to help today.
