TRICARE is health insurance that is provided to members of the armed forces of the United States. Drug abuse within the military is more common than one would think, and the need to offer rehab to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers numerous treatment services to cope with drug and alcohol dependence like detoxification services, and also treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. People who have TRICARE will obviously have to have a prior approval before partaking in any sort of rehabilitation service, that may be arranged using their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient program will be the preferred rehab choice, TRICARE will cover a 3 week period or one inpatient stay in that program per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are specific limits as to the length of time a TRICARE member can stay in an inpatient program that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30-45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family treatment which is often very beneficial, as it may help include loved ones in the healing and recovery process. No member of the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are skilled treatment counselors waiting to help you today.
