TRICARE is health care insurance that's provided to people 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 offer rehabilitation to these individuals is a crucial priority. TRICARE covers numerous rehabilitation services to handle drug and alcohol dependence including detoxification services, and also treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. Those that have TRICARE will of course need to obtain a prior approval before taking part in any type of treatment service, that may be arranged using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient center is the preferred treatment option, TRICARE will cover 21 days or one inpatient stay in that center per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are particular limits as to how long a TRICARE member can remain in the inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30 to 45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which can be very useful, as it can help include loved ones in the healing and process of recovery. No member of the military should fight this battle alone, and there are professional treatment counselors ready to help today.
