TRICARE is medical health insurance that is provided to people in the military of the United States. Drug abuse inside the military is much more common than one would imagine, and the need to offer rehabilitation to these individuals is a priority. TRICARE covers a variety of rehab services to cope with alcohol and drug dependence such as detox services, and also treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient facilities. People with TRICARE will of course need to get a prior authorization before taking part in any kind of treatment service, which can be arranged using their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility could be the favored rehab choice, TRICARE covers 21 days 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 facility that accepts TRICARE, then there is typically a 30 to 45 day window that is covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which is often very beneficial, as it can help include family members in the healing and process of recovery. No member of the military should struggle with this battle alone, and there are skilled rehabilitation counselors ready to help today.
