TRICARE is medical health insurance which is provided to people in the armed forces of the United States. Drug abuse within the military is a lot more common than one would assume, and the need to provide rehab to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers a number of rehab services to address alcohol and drug dependence including detoxification services, in addition to rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient facilities. Those that have TRICARE will of course have to get a prior approval before taking part in any type of rehabilitation service, that may be arranged using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility will be the preferred treatment choice, TRICARE will cover 21 days or one inpatient stay in this particular center per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are certain limits about the length of time a TRICARE member can stay in an inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30 to 45 day window which is covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which is often very beneficial, as it could help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No member of the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are professional rehab counselors ready to assist you today.
