TRICARE is health insurance that's provided to members of the armed forces of the United States. Substance abuse inside the military is more common than one would imagine, and the necessity to provide rehab to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers a number of rehabilitation services to handle alcohol and drug dependence including detoxification services, and also rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient facilities. Those that have TRICARE will naturally be asked to get a prior approval before partaking in any type of treatment service, which is often organized with their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient program is the preferred rehab option, TRICARE will cover a three week period or one inpatient stay in that program per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are particular limits regarding the length of time a TRICARE member can remain within an inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30-45 day window which is covered. TRICARE also covers family treatment which is often very useful, as it may 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 expert treatment counselors ready to assist you today.
