TRICARE is medical health insurance that's provided to people in the armed forces of the United States. Drug abuse inside the military is much more common than one would assume, and the need to provide rehab to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers a variety of rehabilitation services to handle alcohol and drug dependence such as detoxification services, along with treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient facilities. Those that have TRICARE will of course be required to obtain a prior authorization before taking part in any kind of rehabilitation service, which may be organized using their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient facility is the preferred rehab option, TRICARE will cover 21 days or one inpatient stay in such a facility per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are certain limits concerning just how long a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30-45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which is often very useful, as it can help include family members in the healing and recovery process. No person in the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are professional rehab counselors standing by to help you today.
