TRICARE is medical health insurance which is provided to members of the armed forces of the United States. Drug abuse within the military is more common than one would imagine, and the necessity to provide rehab to these individuals is a crucial priority. TRICARE covers a variety of treatment services to address drug and alcohol dependence including detoxification services, as well as rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. People with TRICARE will naturally be required to obtain a prior authorization before partaking in any sort of rehabilitation service, which is often arranged using their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient facility is the favored treatment choice, TRICARE will cover twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in this particular facility per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are specific limits as to how long a TRICARE member can stay in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30-45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family treatment which can be very beneficial, as it can help include loved ones in the healing and recovery process. No person in the military should fight this battle alone, and there are skilled treatment counselors standing by to assist you today.
