TRICARE is medical health insurance which is provided to individuals in the military of the United States. Substance abuse inside the military is more common than one would imagine, and the need to offer treatment to these individuals is a vital priority. TRICARE covers a number of rehab services to address alcohol and drug dependence including detoxification services, along with rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. Individuals with TRICARE will of course be asked to get a prior authorization before partaking in any type of treatment service, which is often organized using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient program is the favored treatment option, TRICARE will cover 21 days or one inpatient stay in this particular center per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are certain limits as to how much time a TRICARE member can stay within an inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30-45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which may be very useful, as it may help include loved ones in the healing and recovery process. No person in the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are professional treatment counselors waiting to help you today.
