TRICARE is medical health insurance which is provided to individuals in the military of the United States. Drug abuse within the military is much more common than one would think, and the necessity to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers numerous treatment services to handle drug and alcohol dependence including detox services, in addition to rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. Those that have TRICARE will obviously have to get a prior approval before taking part in any sort of rehabilitation service, which is often arranged using their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient program is the favored rehab choice, TRICARE covers a three week period or one inpatient stay in this particular facility per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are specific limits regarding how long a TRICARE member can stay in the inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30-45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which can be very helpful, as it could help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No member of the military should fight this battle alone, and there are professional rehab counselors ready to help today.
