TRICARE is health insurance that's provided to people in the armed forces of the United States. Drug and alcohol use within 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 treatment services to address drug and alcohol dependence such as detox services, along with treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. People who have TRICARE will of course have to have a prior authorization before partaking in any type of rehab service, which may be organized using a regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient program could be the favored rehabilitation option, 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 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 therapy which is often very helpful, as it may help include loved ones in the healing and recovery process. No member of the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are professional rehabilitation counselors standing by to help today.
