TRICARE is medical health insurance which is provided to people in the military of the United States. Substance abuse within the military is much more common than one would think, and the need to offer rehab to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers a variety of treatment services to cope with drug and alcohol dependence including detox services, along with treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. Individuals with TRICARE will of course be required to get a prior approval before taking part in any kind of rehab service, which can be arranged using a regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient program is the preferred rehabilitation option, TRICARE will cover 21 days or one inpatient stay in that facility per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are certain limits regarding the length of time a TRICARE member can stay in an inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30-45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family treatment that may be very useful, as it can help include family members in the healing and recovery process. No person in the military should fight this battle alone, and there are expert rehab counselors standing by to help you today.
