TRICARE is medical health insurance that's offered to people in the military of the United States. Substance abuse within the military is much more common than one would imagine, and the necessity to offer rehabilitation to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers many different treatment services to address drug and alcohol dependence like detoxification services, along with rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. People who have TRICARE will of course have to obtain a prior approval before taking part in any kind of rehab service, that may be arranged using their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient center will be the preferred rehab option, TRICARE will cover a 3 week period or one inpatient stay in such a center per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are certain limits regarding how long a TRICARE member can remain in the inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30-45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling that may be very useful, as it could help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are professional rehab counselors standing by to assist you today.
