TRICARE is health care insurance that's offered to people in the military of the United States. Substance abuse inside the military is a lot more common than one would think, and the need to provide treatment to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers a variety of rehabilitation services to address alcohol and drug dependence such as detox services, along with rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient facilities. Individuals with TRICARE will naturally have to have a prior approval before partaking in any sort of treatment service, which is often arranged using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility is the favored rehabilitation choice, TRICARE will cover a 3 week period or one inpatient stay in this center per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are certain limits regarding the length of time a TRICARE member can remain in the inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, then there is typically a 30 to 45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which may be very beneficial, as it can help include loved ones in the healing and recovery process. No person in the military should fight this battle alone, and there are expert treatment counselors standing by to help you today.
