TRICARE is medical health insurance which is provided to members of the military of the United States. Drug abuse within the military is a lot more common than one would think, and the necessity to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers a number of rehab services to cope with drug and alcohol dependence including detox services, as well as rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. Those that have TRICARE will of course be required to get a prior approval before partaking in any type of treatment service, which may be organized using a regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient program is the favored treatment option, TRICARE covers twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in that program per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are certain limits concerning how much time a TRICARE member can stay in the inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, then there is typically a 30-45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which can be very useful, as it can certainly help include loved ones 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 today.
