TRICARE is health insurance that's provided to individuals in the military of the United States. Substance abuse within the military is more common than one would assume, and the necessity to offer rehab to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers a number of treatment services to deal with drug and alcohol dependence such as detoxification services, as well as treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. People who have TRICARE will naturally be asked to obtain a prior approval before partaking in any sort of rehab service, which can be arranged using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility will be the favored rehabilitation option, TRICARE will cover twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in that program per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are particular limits regarding just how long a TRICARE member can stay in the inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30 to 45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy that may be very helpful, as it may help include family members in the healing and recovery process. No member of the military should fight this battle alone, and there are skilled rehabilitation counselors waiting to help you today.
