TRICARE is health care insurance that's offered to members of the armed forces of the United States. Substance abuse within the military is more common than one would imagine, and the need to provide treatment to these individuals is a crucial priority. TRICARE covers numerous treatment services to address alcohol and drug dependence such as detox services, and also treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. People with TRICARE will obviously be asked to obtain a prior authorization before taking part in any type of rehab service, which may be arranged with their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient facility will be the favored treatment choice, TRICARE covers twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in this particular center per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are specific limits about how much time a TRICARE member can remain in the inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30 to 45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which can be very beneficial, as it can help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No member of the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are professional rehab counselors ready to assist you today.
