TRICARE is medical insurance that's offered to folks in the military of the United States. Drug abuse within the military is much more common than one would imagine, and the necessity to provide rehab to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers many different rehabilitation services to deal with drug and alcohol dependence like detox services, along with rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. Individuals with TRICARE will obviously be asked to get a prior approval before partaking in any sort of rehab service, which may be arranged with their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient facility will be the favored rehab choice, TRICARE covers a three week period or one inpatient stay in this facility per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are certain limits concerning how long a TRICARE member can stay in the inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30-45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which may be very beneficial, as it could help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should fight this battle alone, and there are professional rehabilitation counselors ready to help today.
