TRICARE is medical insurance which is offered to members of the military of the United States. Substance abuse within the military is a lot more common than one would imagine, and the need to provide rehabilitation to these individuals is a crucial priority. TRICARE covers many different treatment services to handle alcohol and drug dependence such as detox services, along with treatment in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. People with TRICARE will needless to say have to have a prior authorization before taking part in any kind of rehab service, which is often arranged with their regional TRICARE liaison. If an inpatient facility will be the preferred rehab choice, TRICARE covers twenty-one days or one inpatient stay in this center per benefit period which is every 12 months. There are certain limits as to how long a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, then there is typically a 30-45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family counselling which can be very helpful, as it may 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 standing by to help today.
