TRICARE is medical health insurance that's provided to members of the military of the United States. Substance abuse inside the military is much more common than one would assume, and the need to provide rehab to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers a variety of rehabilitation services to deal with alcohol and drug dependence such as detoxification services, and also rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient facilities. Those that have TRICARE will naturally be required to get a prior approval before partaking in any kind of treatment service, which is often arranged with their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient program is the favored treatment choice, TRICARE will cover 21 days or one inpatient stay in this particular facility per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are certain limits as to just how long a TRICARE member can stay in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30 to 45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family treatment which is often very useful, as it may help include family members in the healing and recovery process. No person in the military should fight this battle alone, and there are professional rehabilitation counselors standing by to help you today.
