TRICARE is medical insurance that is provided to people in the armed forces of the United States. Drug and alcohol use within the military is more common than one would imagine, and the need to provide rehab to these individuals is a crucial priority. TRICARE covers a number of rehabilitation services to handle drug and alcohol dependence such as detox services, in addition to rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. People with TRICARE will naturally need to get a prior approval before taking part in any kind of rehab service, which is often organized using their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient facility could be the favored rehab choice, TRICARE will cover twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in this particular program per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are particular limits as to the length of time a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, then there is typically a 30 to 45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which may be very beneficial, as it could help include loved ones in the healing and recovery process. No member of the military should fight this battle alone, and there are skilled treatment counselors waiting to help today.
