TRICARE is health care insurance that's provided to individuals in the military of the United States. Drug abuse within the military is more common than one would imagine, and the necessity to provide treatment to these individuals is a crucial priority. TRICARE covers a variety of rehab services to handle alcohol and drug dependence such as detoxification services, and also rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. People with TRICARE will of course be required to have a prior authorization before taking part in any kind of rehab service, which is often organized using a regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient program will be the preferred treatment option, TRICARE will cover twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in that center per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are certain limits concerning how much time a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, then there is typically a 30-45 day window which is covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which is often very beneficial, as it can help include family members in the healing and recovery process. No member of the military should fight this battle alone, and there are professional rehab counselors waiting to help today.
