TRICARE is medical health insurance that's provided to people in the armed forces of the United States. Drug and alcohol use within the military is a lot more common than one would think, and the need to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is a vital priority. TRICARE covers numerous rehabilitation services to deal with alcohol and drug dependence such as detoxification services, in addition to rehabilitation in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient programs. People who have TRICARE will obviously have to have a prior authorization before taking part in any sort of treatment service, which is often organized using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility could be the preferred rehab choice, TRICARE covers twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in that facility per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are specific limits as to how much time a TRICARE member can stay within an inpatient center that accepts TRICARE, then there is typically a 30-45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which is often very beneficial, as it could help include loved ones in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should fight this battle alone, and there are professional treatment counselors ready to help you today.
