TRICARE is medical health insurance that is provided to members of the military of the United States. Drug abuse within the military is much more common than one would imagine, and the need to offer rehabilitation to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers a variety of rehabilitation services to deal with drug and alcohol dependence including detoxification services, along with rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. Individuals with TRICARE will obviously be required to obtain a prior approval before taking part in any kind of rehabilitation service, which can be organized using a regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient program will be the favored treatment option, TRICARE covers a three week period or one inpatient stay in that program per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are certain limits as to the length of time a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30-45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling that may be very helpful, as it could help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No member of the military should fight this battle alone, and there are expert rehabilitation counselors ready to assist you today.
