TRICARE is medical insurance which is provided to members of the armed forces of the United States. Substance abuse within the military is a lot more common than one would assume, and the necessity to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers a number of treatment services to address alcohol and drug dependence including detoxification services, as well as rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. People who have TRICARE will of course have to have a prior authorization before taking part in any kind of rehabilitation service, which can be arranged using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility is the preferred rehab option, TRICARE will cover twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in this particular center per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are certain limits regarding how much time a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30 to 45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling that may be very helpful, as it can help include loved ones in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are skilled rehabilitation counselors ready to help you today.
