TRICARE is medical health insurance which is provided to people in the military of the United States. Substance abuse inside the military is much more common than one would imagine, and the need to offer rehabilitation to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers a variety of rehab services to handle alcohol and drug dependence including detoxification services, along with rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient facilities. People with TRICARE will of course be asked to have a prior approval before partaking in any type of rehab service, which is often arranged using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient program will be the favored treatment option, TRICARE will cover a 3 week period or one inpatient stay in such a program per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are particular limits regarding how long a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30 to 45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which may be very beneficial, as it can help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No member of the military should fight this battle alone, and there are skilled treatment counselors standing by to assist you today.
