TRICARE is medical health insurance that's offered to individuals in the military of the United States. Drug and alcohol use within the military is more common than one would imagine, and the necessity to provide treatment to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers numerous treatment services to address drug and alcohol dependence including detox services, and also treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. People who have TRICARE will of course have to have a prior approval before partaking in any type of rehabilitation service, that may be arranged using their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient program could be the preferred rehab choice, TRICARE covers twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in that center per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are specific limits concerning the length of time a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, then there is typically a 30 to 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 recovery process. No member of the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are skilled treatment counselors ready to help today.
