TRICARE is health care insurance that's offered to members of the military of the United States. Drug abuse within the military is more common than one would imagine, and the need to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers many different rehabilitation services to handle drug and alcohol dependence such as detox services, in addition to treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. Individuals with TRICARE will naturally be required to get a prior approval before partaking in any type of rehab service, that may be organized with their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient facility will be the favored rehab option, TRICARE covers 21 days or one inpatient stay in this center per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are specific limits as to the length of time a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, then there is typically a 30 to 45 day window which is covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling that may be very useful, as it may help include family members in the healing and recovery process. No person in the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are skilled rehabilitation counselors waiting to help today.
