TRICARE is medical insurance which is offered to people in the armed forces of the United States. Substance abuse inside the military is much more common than one would imagine, and the necessity to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is a vital priority. TRICARE covers numerous rehab services to address alcohol and drug dependence including detox services, and also rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. Individuals with TRICARE will of course have to obtain a prior authorization before taking part in any type of rehabilitation service, which is often organized using a regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility will be the preferred rehab option, TRICARE covers 21 days or one inpatient stay in this facility per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are particular limits regarding how long a TRICARE member can remain within an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30-45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which is often very beneficial, as it may 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 help today.
