TRICARE is health insurance that's offered to individuals in the military of the United States. Drug and alcohol use within the military is more common than one would imagine, and the necessity to provide rehab to these individuals is a vital priority. TRICARE covers a number of treatment services to handle drug and alcohol dependence such as detox services, and also rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. Those that have TRICARE will naturally be asked to get a prior authorization before partaking in any sort of treatment service, which is often arranged with their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient program is the favored rehab option, TRICARE will cover a 3 week period or one inpatient stay in this particular program per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are specific limits as to how long a TRICARE member can remain within an inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, and there's typically a 30 to 45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which may be very helpful, as it could help include family members in the healing and recovery process. No person in the military should fight this battle alone, and there are skilled treatment counselors ready to assist you today.
