TRICARE is health insurance that's provided to individuals in the military of the United States. Drug and alcohol use within the military is a lot more common than one would think, and the need to offer treatment to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers a variety of rehabilitation services to deal with alcohol and drug dependence including detoxification services, in addition to rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. People with TRICARE will of course have to have a prior authorization before taking part in any sort of rehab service, which is often arranged using a regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient facility is the preferred treatment choice, TRICARE covers a 3 week period or one inpatient stay in that facility per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are particular limits regarding the length of time a TRICARE member can stay within 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 can be very helpful, as it may help include loved ones in the healing and recovery process. No member of the military should fight this battle alone, and there are professional treatment counselors ready to help you today.
