TRICARE is medical health insurance which is provided to individuals in the armed forces of the United States. Substance abuse within the military is much more common than one would imagine, and the necessity to provide rehab to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers a variety of rehab services to address alcohol and drug dependence like detoxification services, as well as rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. People who have TRICARE will of course be asked to get a prior approval before partaking in any sort of treatment service, which may be arranged with their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient center could be the preferred rehabilitation option, TRICARE covers a three week period or one inpatient stay in that center per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are particular limits regarding how long a TRICARE member can stay in an inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30 to 45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family therapy which may be very beneficial, as it may help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should fight this battle alone, and there are expert treatment counselors waiting to help today.
