TRICARE is medical health insurance which is provided to members of the military of the United States. Substance abuse within the military is a lot more common than one would imagine, and the need to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is a vital priority. TRICARE covers many different treatment services to handle alcohol and drug dependence including detoxification services, as well as rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. Individuals with TRICARE will naturally be required to have a prior approval before taking part in any sort of treatment service, which may be arranged with their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient program is the favored rehab choice, TRICARE will cover 21 days or one inpatient stay in such a center per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are specific limits regarding just how long a TRICARE member can remain in the inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30 to 45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family treatment that may be very beneficial, as it can help include loved ones in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are professional rehab counselors waiting to help today.
