TRICARE is health care insurance that's provided to members of the armed forces of the United States. Drug abuse inside the military is more common than one would assume, and the need to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is a vital priority. TRICARE covers many different rehab services to handle alcohol and drug dependence such as detoxification services, and also rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. People who have TRICARE will obviously need to obtain a prior approval before taking part in any sort of treatment service, which may be arranged with their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility will be the preferred treatment option, TRICARE will cover 21 days or one inpatient stay in such a facility per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are specific limits as to just how long a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30-45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy that may be very useful, as it may help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No member of the military should fight this battle alone, and there are professional rehabilitation counselors waiting to help you today.
