TRICARE is medical insurance which is provided to members of the military of the United States. Drug and alcohol use within the military is much more common than one would assume, and the necessity to provide treatment to these individuals is a vital priority. TRICARE covers a variety of treatment services to cope with alcohol and drug dependence such as detoxification services, as well as rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. People who have TRICARE will obviously be required to have a prior approval before taking part in any type of rehab service, which may be arranged using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility will be the favored rehab choice, TRICARE covers 21 days or one inpatient stay in that center per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are specific limits concerning how long a TRICARE member can stay in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, then there is typically a 30-45 day window which is covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which can be very helpful, as it can help include family members in the healing and recovery process. No person in the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are skilled treatment counselors standing by to help you today.
