TRICARE is health care insurance that's provided to people in the armed forces of the United States. Drug and alcohol use inside the military is much more common than one would assume, and the need to offer rehabilitation to these individuals is a crucial priority. TRICARE covers many different rehabilitation services to handle alcohol and drug dependence including detox services, along with rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. Those that have TRICARE will of course be required to get a prior authorization before partaking in any kind of rehab service, that may be organized using a regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient facility will be the preferred treatment choice, TRICARE will cover twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in that program per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are specific limits regarding how much time a TRICARE member can remain in the inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30-45 day window which is covered. TRICARE also covers family treatment which can be very useful, as it could help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No member of the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are expert rehab counselors standing by to help you today.
