TRICARE is health care insurance that's provided to people in the military of the United States. Drug and alcohol use inside the military is more common than one would think, and the need to offer rehabilitation to these individuals is a vital priority. TRICARE covers a variety of rehab services to address alcohol and drug dependence including detoxification services, along with rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. People who have TRICARE will of course be required to obtain a prior authorization before partaking in any kind of rehabilitation service, which may be arranged using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient center could be the favored rehabilitation choice, TRICARE will cover a 3 week period or one inpatient stay in this facility per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are particular limits regarding the length of time 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 which may be very useful, as it can help include loved ones in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should fight this battle alone, and there are professional treatment counselors waiting to help today.
