TRICARE is medical insurance that is provided to individuals in the military of the United States. Drug and alcohol use inside the military is much more common than one would think, and the need to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers a variety of rehab services to handle alcohol and drug dependence such as detoxification services, and also rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. People who have TRICARE will naturally have to get a prior approval before taking part in any sort of rehabilitation service, which is often organized with their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility could be the favored rehab choice, TRICARE covers 21 days or one inpatient stay in that facility per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are certain limits as to the length of time a TRICARE member can stay in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30 to 45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family treatment which is often very helpful, as it may help include loved ones in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are skilled rehabilitation counselors waiting to help today.
