TRICARE is medical health insurance that is provided to folks in the military of the United States. Substance abuse inside the military is a lot more common than one would think, and the need to provide rehab to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers numerous rehab services to handle alcohol and drug dependence including detoxification services, along with rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient facilities. People with TRICARE will of course need to get a prior approval before partaking in any type of treatment service, which can be organized using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility is the preferred treatment choice, TRICARE will cover a 3 week period or one inpatient stay in this particular facility per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are certain limits about how long a TRICARE member can remain within an inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30-45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy that may be very useful, as it can certainly help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are skilled treatment counselors ready to help today.
