TRICARE is health insurance that's provided to people in the military of the United States. Substance abuse inside the military is more common than one would think, and the need to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is a vital priority. TRICARE covers numerous rehab services to deal with alcohol and drug dependence such as detoxification services, and also rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. People with TRICARE will obviously be required to have a prior authorization before taking part in any kind of rehabilitation service, which may be arranged using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility is the preferred rehab option, TRICARE will cover twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in this particular center per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are certain limits concerning the length of time a TRICARE member can remain within an inpatient facility 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 could help include family members in the healing and recovery process. No member of the military should fight this battle alone, and there are professional rehabilitation counselors ready to help today.
