TRICARE is medical insurance that is offered to people in the military of the United States. Drug abuse within the military is a lot more common than one would think, and the necessity to provide rehab to these individuals is a vital priority. TRICARE covers a variety of treatment services to cope with alcohol and drug dependence including detoxification services, and also rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. Individuals with TRICARE will naturally be required to have a prior approval before partaking in any sort of treatment service, which can be organized using their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient center will be the preferred rehab option, TRICARE covers a three week period or one inpatient stay in that center per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are certain limits as to the length of time a TRICARE member can stay in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30-45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which is often very useful, as it may help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should fight this battle alone, and there are skilled rehab counselors ready to help today.
