TRICARE is medical health insurance that is offered to people in the military of the United States. Drug and alcohol use within the military is more common than one would think, and the need to offer rehabilitation to these individuals is a vital priority. TRICARE covers a variety of treatment services to handle alcohol and drug dependence such as detoxification services, as well as rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient facilities. People who have TRICARE will obviously be asked to have a prior approval before taking part in any type of treatment service, which may be arranged with their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient program will be the preferred rehab choice, TRICARE will cover 21 days or one inpatient stay in this particular program per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are particular limits concerning how much time a TRICARE member can stay in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30-45 day window which is covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which may be very useful, as it can help include loved ones in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should fight this battle alone, and there are professional rehab counselors standing by to help today.
