TRICARE is medical health insurance which is provided to individuals in the military of the United States. Substance abuse inside the military is a lot more common than one would imagine, and the need to provide rehab to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers a variety of rehab services to address drug and alcohol dependence including detoxification services, and also treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. People with TRICARE will needless to say have to have a prior approval before taking part in any sort of treatment service, which is often organized with their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient center is the preferred rehab choice, TRICARE will cover a three week period or one inpatient stay in this facility per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are specific limits concerning the length of time a TRICARE member can remain in the inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, then there is typically a 30-45 day window which is covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy that may be very helpful, as it can help include family members in the healing and recovery process. No member of the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are professional rehab counselors ready to help today.
