TRICARE is health care insurance which is provided to members of the military of the United States. Drug abuse within the military is more common than one would assume, and the necessity to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers a variety of treatment services to deal with drug and alcohol dependence such as detox services, as well as treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. People with TRICARE will obviously be required to obtain a prior authorization before partaking in any type of rehab service, which is often organized using their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient program could be the preferred treatment option, TRICARE will cover a 3 week period or one inpatient stay in that facility per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are specific limits about how much time a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30-45 day window which is covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which can be very useful, as it can certainly 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 rehabilitation counselors standing by to help you today.
