TRICARE is medical health insurance that's provided to individuals in the military of the United States. Drug abuse within the military is much more common than one would imagine, and the need to provide rehab to these individuals is a crucial priority. TRICARE covers a number of rehab services to handle alcohol and drug dependence such as detoxification services, in addition to rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. Individuals with TRICARE will needless to say have to get a prior authorization before partaking in any kind of rehab service, which is often arranged with their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility will be the preferred treatment option, TRICARE covers a 3 week period or one inpatient stay in this particular program per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are certain limits as to how much time a TRICARE member can stay in an inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, then there is typically a 30-45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy that may be very useful, as it may help include family members in the healing and recovery process. No person in the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are skilled treatment counselors ready to help today.
