TRICARE is health care insurance that is provided to members of the military of the United States. Drug and alcohol use inside the military is a lot more common than one would assume, and the need to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers a variety of rehabilitation services to handle alcohol and drug dependence including detoxification services, in addition to rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. People who have TRICARE will naturally be required to get a prior approval before taking part in any type of treatment service, which is often organized with their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient center will be the favored rehabilitation choice, TRICARE will cover a 3 week period or one inpatient stay in this particular program per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are specific limits concerning just how long a TRICARE member can stay in the inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, then there is typically a 30 to 45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which may be very helpful, as it can help include loved ones in the healing and process of recovery. No member of the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are skilled rehabilitation counselors standing by to help today.
