TRICARE is health care insurance that is offered to folks in the military of the United States. Drug abuse inside the military is more common than one would imagine, and the need to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is a vital priority. TRICARE covers many different rehab services to handle drug and alcohol dependence such as detox services, and also rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient facilities. People with TRICARE will naturally have to have a prior authorization before partaking in any sort of rehabilitation service, which is often arranged using a regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient center is the favored rehab choice, TRICARE covers a 3 week period or one inpatient stay in that facility per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are specific limits regarding the length of time a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30-45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family treatment that may be very helpful, as it can help include family members in the healing and recovery process. No member of the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are professional treatment counselors waiting to help today.
